Jerry Cantrell - Bargain Basement Howard Hughes Lyrics






Don't deny I did you cold
I broke your trust and lied
Controlling, selfish, gossip abound
Cocaine mouth over mind

And I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver

Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels

Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking
We had our good years too
Though apart, you're still in my heart
I'd give anything for you

And I say...
I wash my hands, pull the splinters
No master plan, I deliver

Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels

Often heard, seldom seen
Bargain Basement Howard Hughes
Hermit phase, a woodshed rage
These days headlines are few

And I say...
I wash my hands, pull the splinters
No master plan, I deliver

Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels

    For me Jerry maybe is only beat by God... I say this I refer the Riff God Tony Iommi. And he doesn't even sing... Jerry is the complete pack! And how he sings, how he plays, and how he composes ...excellent! I'm glad he still here. Go Jerry, make another one! I need at least one more solo album!

  2. A.... K....

    We don't know really what Jerry was or is feeling when it comes to Layne. I mean he wrote a son a called the killer is me. There is clues all over Alice's music Layne was gonna die young. We don't know these people and how and what they really are

  3. V.... D....

    Jerry Fucking Cantrell

  4. S.... E....

    Love the guitar tone on this, so sludge!

  5. W.... J....

    Simply brilliant.

  6. O.... J....

    Slipknot- Gehenna

    O.... J....

    Oliver John stop

    O.... J....

    Now I remember I watched an interview on YT with Corey Taylor. He said he wanted to make some music (a collaboration) with Jerry Cantrell or something like that.

  7. D.... P....

    Jerry was on fire when he wrote this album. I still cant believe how good this is.

    D.... P....

    No fucking kidding man. I got it right before I went through a pretty dark time. It helped me embrace the darkness and move through it.

    I was actually hospitalized because of a psychotic break......that song was in my head the whole time. lol

    D.... P....

    Anche a me piacciono

    D.... P....

    @Paul Meadowlark Jerry went through that when he wrote it... Except, holed up in a lake house by himself.

  8. v.... ....

    Infernal riffage all over this album. What a steamroller this tune is!

  9. E.... ....

    Why you did Layne like Jerry.. Wasnt he your friend first then the vocalist??? Or the other way around???

    E.... ....

    Erick
    What?

    E.... ....

    Listen to the lyrics closely...he's saying at first he mocked Layne "Enigma wrapped in riddle, your life I belittle." But he then realizes exactly how he felt because he is going through it himself, "Dignity I'd steal, now I know how it feels."

    E.... ....

    The reason for the confliction, cuz they we're both junkies, Jerry his head too far up his ass, and Layne too far gone from it.

  10. M.... C....

    Such a sick song!

  11. f.... ....

    SUCKS!!!! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

    f.... ....

    Are you fucked!? This song is incredible.

    f.... ....

    FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

    f.... ....

    You suck little turtle dicks

    f.... ....

    And your mom swallows

  12. M.... M....

    This site is yummy......

  13. A.... R....

    He wrote this song for Layne.

    A.... R....

    I was stationed in Mississippi when I heard the news of his death, a very sad day for many

    A.... R....

    This song is actually about Jerry himself. He locked himself in his house, battled a coke habit and wrote a double album of heavy hitting amazingness.

  14. b.... ....

    FIRST!!!!!

  15. i.... ....

    i wouldn't mind another solo album from Jerry if it sounded like this,i don't think he's into that now though.

    i.... ....

    Oh trust me he is still into it, true rockers never change and you know one of the rings he wears on his right hand is actually layne's old ring, jerry took it when layne died and he still wears it to this day

    i.... ....

    Black Gives way to Blue as well. It's all going to sound relatively the same as long as Jerry is seen as the front man of AiC. And yes, I would say Jerry has earned position as the head honcho of Alice. Hats off to Duvall, but until he steps up and creates a masterpiece I just can't see him as the man.

    i.... ....

    He said he doesn't like this album I think it was his best work solo I wish he would bring it back but apparently this was a dark time for him

    i.... ....

    To me there are several songs on Rainer Fog that have a similar feel to DT.

    i.... ....

    I just think Cantrell is not in such a dark place anymore, maybe I'm wrong. He doesn't want to play DT songs because they remind him of very bad times in his life (there's a recent interview with Cantrell about it).
