This is my old band from the eighties. Started with good friends Cindy Brolsma and Lisa Jenio. They are the core of CP but the whole thing was already kaput when this album was finally finished. I had to leave out some songs for legal and artistic problems (borrowed lyrics and at one point I segue into "Hey Jude" (what was I thinking?). I just wanted to play fancy guitar stuff...and I wrote the music first to all of them. I came up with guitar riffs. But they are outshined by the lyrics which were inspired by what I was reading, which was some extreme non fiction about child abuse, satanism, teen suicide, incest and serial killers. All hot topics in the eighties. I guess The Shaggs were an influence but so was the Skeleton Crew albums and Massacre's first. I was into all this extreme stuff but wanted to play off of the graveness of the subject matter with childlike vocals. Soundclick is like my graveyard of my dead old bands. Dave Sardy is to blame for making the record sound so good. I miss him. I was really into playing guitar then. I didn't think about vocal melodies too much. WARNING--These songs are very intense and assaultive and dense. I would consume them in small portions. Don't try to listen to the whole thing at once. As one 'fan' said to me "Music is spiritual and your music is oppressive." Plus we take sudden turns from brutal horrors to humor. Abusive music about abuse...Whatever. Enjoy (?)

Story behind the song
I read "Crash" by J.G. Ballard and then I wrote this.
Lyrics
Her eyes like blinding headlights shining just before the crash. We met in mechanized sex. Showered in shattered glass. They peeled you off the steering wheel. They peeled me off the hood. The impact was more than I could take. I hit the gas when I should have hit the break. My girlfriend's on heroin. She'll always be, she's always been...A NECROPHILE!!! My scars will never let me forget. What your love did for me. Each night I count the contours. Worshipping each injury. And dreaming of your headlights once again racing towards me.
