Biography

Hard-edged US pop band founded by former [a=Throwing Muses] member Tanya Donelly, following her short stint with [a=The Breeders]. Formed in 1991 by Tanya with fellow ex-Muse Fred Abong and brothers Chris and Tom Gorman, they achieved strong initial success in both the UK and US indie/alternative scenes. Twice Grammy-nominated in the early 1990s. Abong left the band during the recording of their debut, [i]Star[/i], and was replaced by Gail Greenwood on bass. The subsequent tour boosted their popularity, however, their second album, [i]King[/i], which was expected to build on the success of its predecessor, wasn't as well received. Donelly disbanded Belly in 1996 and released her first solo material at the end of the year. In February 2016, Belly announced their reunion for live shows, as well as plans to record new material. The band launched a PledgeMusic campaign, and released their third album, [i]Dove[/i], on 3 May 2018.

LYRICS

Near the backroad There's a dog will run out Who can see her spit up leaves a dog won't even touch Come to shoot that dog long ago Just can't leave that dog alone Maria carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back That dog is hit again That slow dog is hit again with his see-thru skin, the kinda skin you can see through He's shot again, he's shot again He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah) He's shot again He's shot again He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Heal me by a river Man retires his wife says but she was so sad and sick His heart breaks in the mud Gotta leave this world by 21 Couldn't leave that dog alone Maria carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back That dog is hit again That slow dog is hit again with his see-thru skin, the kinda skin you can see through He's shot again, he's shot again He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah) He's shot again He's shot again He's shot (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Maria carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back Maria carry you on her back...
