Biography:
Red House Painters was an alternative rock band from San Francisco, CA, United States, formed in 1989 by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, who is currently active in the band Sun Kil Moon, with part of the original RHP line-up.
The band is described, along with Low and American Music Club, as one of the linchpins of the slowcore movement in alternative rock. Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair, pain and suffering.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is usually played with obscure tuning and it sounds a bit ugly without a full band.
I've figured out this version to be played with regular chords in standard tuning.

I've had enough of the

Brutal beatings and name-callings

I need someone much more mysterious

To be my- to be my miss-

To be my mistress
