Joss Mars There is something so inexplicably familiar about this album that makes me question my very existence. So provocative and yet so self-serving at the same time. Whatever. I listen to music too. Follow me and show me your music collection :-D Favorite track: Nice Dress.

Take me down to Strawberry Lane Where soldier men eat their cake Served cold with gold and candy and love Just fun times Here where the bad things can be free And anything you want is at it seems Come on down sometime my little piggies And we'll dream dreams

Last Sunset 04:49
It stole the blood, Made it flood Watched them run, Killed to the last one Those bright lights show treasures Turning kids into killers Attain the sun…..or fear the burn I am ready to die, spill the blood and to fly Scream baby I ain’t done till you’re face down I’ve been hearing the cries, of those who died in these fires Scream baby I ain’t done till you’re face down The world is exploding The smoke fills my eyes These stupid piggies won’t stop, till everyone dies I can’t stand the sight of this massacre Make me blind…..so I won’t know Let me fly, Slave to this hunger I’ll survive, these piggies I will plunder Got my crown, King of Crimes Night it comes, no more dreams to hunt I am lost but I’m not turning back home My sins are done…. Let consequence come I am ready to die, got the wolf in my eyes Scream baby I ain’t done till you’re face down In the dark they won’t see, you bleed and fall at my feet Scream baby I ain’t done till you’re face down The world is exploding The smoke fills my eyes These stupid piggies won’t stop, till everyone dies I can’t stand the sight of this massacre Make me blind…..so I won’t know The Last Sunset (bring it on) Stop, this ain’t me But it’s creeping, breathing inside of me Will it leave, or will it Slowly taken over me Well, let’s see I’ll let it out now Let the monster free The Sun burnt out my eyes And everyone died I am the darkness where no feelings can prosper I am the driver of this massacre I will fly…. Into hell The Last Sunset The Last Sunset And it’s over now (The troll is coming)

Too long in the closet looking For clothes that look hot with my bling Got on my nice shoes, so I can cruise and strut like I’m fuct on candy Check my flow, pimpin like a gangsta, Not at all like a whore but a popstar I’ll ride with the tide, cause I’m too cool fool This booty too damn fine So come with me and we’ll get on down tonight We’ll dance all dirty and tease all the cattle tonight We’ll fornicate like gays without aids and asses on fire All because what I’m wearing, they’ll keep staring at me in my Look at me in my nice dress, I must confess It’s a nice dress that’s why I’m wearing it (so damn pretty) Let’s put it to the roadtest cause I’m hot In my nice dress that’s why I’m wearing it (so damn pretty) Can’t outdo my jiggy you liar I’m hot like martyrs on fire Damn flies they on me like sluts on speed And fat chicks when they’re randy I’m a pornstar loaded up on crack I’ll smack it till they won’t smack back My monkey is getting chunky on luvjuice And it’s ready to get loose I’m a sex symbol and you don’t have the game for me You can see it by my twinkle that you can’t outglitter me Cuz I’m dolled up hotter than what you’ve seen before Grind this shit and you will be left wanting more Look at me in my nice dress, I must confess It’s a nice dress that’s why I’m wearing it (so damn pretty) Let’s put it to the roadtest cause I’m hot In my nice dress that’s why I’m wearing it (so damn pretty) (Random Improv) Come now distracted little piggies Tired from addicted vanity Come and fuck it all away In front of the ignorant mirror Look at me in my nice dress, I must confess It’s a nice dress that’s why I’m wearing it (so damn pretty) Let’s put it to the roadtest cause I’m hot In my nice dress that’s why I’m wearing it (so damn pretty) Look at me in my nice dress, my nice dress You know you like it hot, hot, hot You know you like that Pretty dress, pretty dress

This fire burns like sulphur And there’s nowhere left to hide So come now and we’ll watch the world fall apart Is this what we all share…..Everyone dies….? The future’s gone and we all disappeared And there was nowhere left to go I saw you burn a thousand times We just sat and consumed the sun This fire so blind has no goal, just consequence Screaming for love it cannot see It burned through it’s path, without ever treading it Is this what we all share….. Everyone needs…..? The future’s gone and we all disappeared And there was nowhere left to go I sawyou burn, burn a thousand times We just sat and consumed the sun Consumed the sun Consumed the sun The future’s gone and we all disappeared And there was nowhere left to go I saw you burn a thousand times We just sat and consumed the sun The future’s gone and we all disappeared And there was nowhere left to go I saw you burn, burn a thousand times We just sat and consumed the sun Consumed the Sun

about

Satirical, in-your-face, yet somewhat disturbing, JOSS MARS AND THE VICE bridge the gap between Punk Rock, Indie, and Prog.Rock conventions. Corruptible by nature, this band is probably not the best source of good moral code; unless you are pursuing a career in arson. JMTV combine catchy hooks, cheeky lyrics, guitar soundscapes and industrious grooves into a stirring pot of eclectic musical edibleness.

The band, as bassist Dale Prinsse describes it, ‘shifts between Sex rock on crack and Trollstep’. If some sort of orgy love child between MR. BUNGLE, VELVET REVOLVER, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE seems like something you would like to hear while love-making, then JOSS MARS AND THE VICE should definitely be on your bedside playlist.

A concept band of unique persona, the first installment, 'Tragedy of the Commons' begins a journey of ambition, capitalism and moral degradation. Whether its melody or groove you’re after, comedy, drama, or something that you want to break stuff to, the eccentric imagination of JOSS MARS AND THE VICE will bring out your inner child….. the nasty one, that kicks people in the shins for giggles.
