Biography:
The Black Lips are a self-described "flower punk" band which formed in Atlanta, Georgia, United States in 2000.
While still teenagers, they formed after guitarist Cole Alexander and bassist Jared Swilley left the Renegades, and guitarist Ben Eberbaugh left the Reruns. Drummer Joe Bradley joined a few months later. They released their first 7" in late 2001/early 2002 on their own Die Slaughterhaus label.
Just days before a tour was to begin in December 2002, Ben Eberbaugh was killed in a car accident after his car was hit by a drunk driver.

"Short Fuse" - Black Lips
Em D
Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
A Asus4
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Em D
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
A
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
The violence in Europe is oozing
Just like the pus from a broken scab
Got made a man from nights of boozing
Gonna be just like my dad.
F#m E D
Hey! Mr. Postman what's the news today?
F#m E D
Can you tell me if everything's gonna be OK?
F#m E D
My eyes are wide open, and the drapes have been drawn.
F#m E D
My heart is smokin', blowin' up like an atom bomb.
BREAK: B / / / B/bassA
Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
The dogs are gone and I can't get work,
The sun shines down like a40 Watt bulb.
I told my mom and she went berserk.
I should have done what I'd been told.
Hey, Humpty Dumpy, I guess you learned your lesson.
You got made into breakfast by some fat old Texan.
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't find a reason, and pushed Humpty to his end.
Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
