Let's go out and see what we see
Let's go out and see what we see
Just you and me
Just you and me
And there will be no other brother
Brother we'll knock back a few
And talk about life
We'll knock back a few
And talk about life and what is right
And what is right
We'll talk about life and what is right
And there will be no other brother, buddy, pal, comrade, friend buddy, pal, comrade, friend
Until the end
A shake of the hand,
A pat on the back
A shake of the hand,
A pat on the back
A knife in the back,
A knife in the back
I'll buy you a beer,
A knife in the back
And there will be no other brother
We're one in the same, You and me
We're one in the same, You and me
We're brothers, Brothers in arms
We're friends until the end
We're brothers, brothers in arms
Until the end your end
Brother rat
Slayde is my buddy, my pal, he is my brother
I am one, he is the other
When the sun shines, he is my shadow
And when the moon is high, it's at his feet I lie
But I'll never listen to what Slayde says
I'll never listen to what Slayde says
Slayde's always talking, and it's rarely nice
He's always whispering his poisonous advice
He is secretive, ruthless and cold
He mentions just enough and leaves the rest untold
He said, "Don't ever risk an open attack, just smile
Into their faces and then stab them in the back"
But Slayde, I said, what about the weak,
The helpless and the small?
He just sneered and said, "Fuck'em all, fuck 'em all"
He said I am a murderer, although I've killed no one
You talk in puzzles Slayde, I said, what have you really done?
"I've cut the twining cord, I've shot the turtle dove,
I've shut out that precious light that shines from above"
Slayde, you are a poet, I said
But what are you truly speaking of?
He smiled and whispered, "I murdered love"
He smiled and whispered, "I murdered love"
I guess I hate him, no, that's not really true
He's not completely bad, sometimes he'll crack a joke or two
I guess I've grown accustomed to his funny ways
It's not his fault that he was made that way
I hear him in my sleep, I see him in my dreams
I see him crouched before some terrible machine
And then I face a mirror and he steps in between
Can you tell me, what does this mean?
Can you tell me, what does this mean?
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray to God my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
You'll know I've made my escape
But there is one step I'll never take
I'll never listen to what a Slayde says...
The pageantry of his singing is absolutely gutting in the best way. The lyrics on the knife's edge of desperate sadness and RAGE. I hope this band knows how absolutely amazing & brilliant they were.
This is the Pink Floyd of Punk. The smartest punk band on earth and there are a LOT of smart punk bands.
110% agreed
the hermetic magic of NOMEANSNO
This song sounds so good when your tripping
I agree.Genius musicians.
NoMeansNo - Brother Rat / What Slayde Says 1945pm 1.10.23 and then i did, yer right, visited the boardwalk (again!!!) something irks... then i thought of this song. very apt. a sister rat on this occasion... fuckers!!!!!!!!!!
Cheetah Chrome, best stage name ever !
this song once snuck into my dreams when I fell asleep with headphones on. .. still remember it clearly. weird and disturbing.
xzanthius What was the dream?
The friendship between two skeletons. A tall one with long hair and a shorter bald one. Lots of casual violence between them. Lol.
@@xzanthius that would make a great music video
looked for this for decades
"we're brothers,
we're brothers in arms,
we're friends,
until the end,
your end"
NMN wrote some of the most intriguing, sarcastic, provoking, cynical and.. funny lyrics I've heard in my life
In her words......real life...
They could of done a chumbawamba but they didn't 😂😂 thanks to them for not
amazing song!
Best songs ever!
no argument could ever be taken serious that would deny these guys put on the most together and incredibly massive show that could ever come from such a no glam performance... strait up rockinthufuckout in a NoMEanSNo pit inside a small packed venue like the phoenix theatre in Petaluma Ca. is still my favorite thing to do and has been for the last 25 years... Stick these guys into a venue with The Victims Family and an open Denys Restaurant on the route home to ignite a full punk rock "grits and a beer" takeover..this is a night that will forever linger within you like a good working but disturbingly abused liver! ..and i remember at least half the night from every time this has happened..
Siacri Six well said, sir.
No only do I "feel" this comment, I'm forever grateful to have *lived* it.
slayde/brother rat nomeansno 1518pm 20.12.21 i agree. boardwalk, manchester, not the skanky shit hole dive in accrington.. was the place to be for such endeavours re: close and sweaty venues up close and skummy moshing... the sore point being having to deal with schizos 24/7 - whether it's going to gigs or merely going to the local store... which is allus assuaged by such music as this band created. the words: VICTIMS FAMILY had more info packed into that band moniker than any unreasonable or reasoning tomes could ever cram in.... how's it feel to be a nazi? dunno; you tell me.
Man I haven't heard this song since I lived in Omaha in the early 90s, and I only had a copied tape with no label, so I didn't know who they were, thanks so much
the greatest!! saw them countless times !!!
Found it! I lost my mix tape in the 90’s
and there will be no other brother
Greatest music ever made!
so good .
and real .
Najlepsze z Kanady!!!
I SAID THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU YOU'RE GOOD PEOPLE
Great Ep ! Love this band, since many years.
I love this album My gawd is sooo good!
awesome as always, thanks for including the lyrics ;)
🤘
I love how he is doing so much critical thinking about what slade says but end it with the denile that he will never listen to him lol
What is the meaning of ❤?
Will stay with me to my death! Not long now but what a sound!
NoMeansNo - Brother Rat / What Slayde Says 1953pm 1.10.23 glad i aint a brother... but...erm... are you dead yet, then? .....................................on a less depressing note: a fine song after the funereal rites have been performed and yer casket goes down into the crematorium flames... "you've got more knives in yer back than monica seles!" shouted the punk rocker to his erstwhile friend.. who was dead... due to....? answers on a postcard.... please.
slayde/brother rat nomeansno 1513pm 20.12.21 reminds me of a few folk.... the niceties of punk and realty deals. ...rawtenstall, lancasire... your money has gone missing? hm.. there's nice little development scheme just sprung up. perhaps she took it and invested therein..?
🫵🙃❤️🙏🎧👆📡👀🫵❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does he say "I've murdered love"?
Yeees!¡
``you are a poet, I said
But what are you truly speaking of?
He smiled and whispered, "I murdered love"

Slade is this alter ego? Like Jekyll and hyde?
More like Hyde and Hyde
Hahaha
Red hot whatever.
Slades not to smart
