Artist picture
Punk Pathetique from Western Pennsylvania.
Sam Sinister was born a hairy, pasty neurotic with obsessive compulsive disorder and two belly buttons. He had very few friends, until one day he learned how to drive an automobile and started giving rides to other truants whenever he'd skip school. Also, he started smoking pot. He stopped brushing his teeth and showering, and went through a string of failed romances. Then he traded in his marijuana habit for alcohol. Luckily, that's all behind him (except for the booze). He discovered he could form bands a little late in life, so he made several clones of himself and taught them how to play instruments. Then he wrote a bunch of stupid songs and got writer's block. Every so often, a new song will surface, so keep checking back for the genius that is Sam Sinister and the Plastic Sinister Band.

Story behind the song
"'Til the Walls Come Down" was a song I wrote years ago, way before Dead City Dealers [the band Sinister originally was the singer for] ever did it. It was originally a rockabilly-ish number.
Lyrics
Cast out into the street With nowhere to call my home It wasn't so long ago I didn't feel so alone I remember when we made the promise To stay together 'til the end But it wouldn't take very long For you to find another friend How could I have been so blind Oi! used to be a friend of mine No one's as good as you, I'll never find Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine And now it's gone In the corner of my eye I swear sometimes I see You're standing there, lookin' at me The way you used to look at me I promised I'd never cry I'd continue to be strong But you had to up and leave It didn't take very long How could I have been so blind Oi! used to be a friend of mine No one's as good as you, I'll never find Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine And now it's gone Now I'm standing in the rain Thinking of how it used to be Where did it all go wrong? Please tell me The rain is falling down So you'll never see The tears are in my eyes When I remember you and me How could I have been so blind Oi! used to be a friend of mine No one's as good as you, I'll never find Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine And now it's gone
