Biography

A soul-influenced alternative/indie rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, the Afghan Whigs were formed in 1986 by vocalist/guitarist [a=Greg Dulli], guitarist [a=Rick McCollum], bassist [a=John Curley] and drummer [a=Steve Earle (2)]. After releasing 6 LPs, a number of singles and EPs and a couple of drummers ([a=Paul Buchignani] and [a=Michael Horrigan]), the group disbanded in February of 2001, temporarily reforming (with Horrigan as drummer) in 2006 to record two new tracks for a best-of compilation. In December of 2011, the core group of Dulli, McCollum and Curley announced its reformation to play a number of 2012 concert and festival dates, augmented by touring members [a=Cully Symington], [a=David Rosser] and [a=Rick Nelson (3)].

LYRICS

Got u where i want u
Motherfucker
I got 5ive up on your dime
And if u wanna peep on something
Peep what i got stuck between
Your eyes
And since i don't believe
A word u say
Save it for another, baby brother
Swallow time 2 pay

Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
2 touch the light

But wait 'till i get done
With u
If u tell me
"don't get mixed up with the devil"
That's exactly
What i'm gonna do

Caught u while u waited
For your boy 2 come
And fix u up again
Come a little closer, baby
I only wanna try 2
Be your friend
Since i ain't got nothing
Left 2 lose
Got u where i want u
Motherfucker
Don't u try 2 move

Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have 2 climb
2 touch the light
Won't u take me up there
With u? u said u would
No one ever could shake
That ladder like i could

So i wait
