I Would Like To Kill You! (live) 05:14
lyrics
buy track
How I would like to shoot you in your head And watch you bleed until you're almost dead How I would like to tear you apart And afterwards to throw you from a bridge in a bag Chorus: Ooh, how I would like to kill you Just for one time I can't control my thoughts Ooh, how I would like to kill you And when I'm satisfied I might kill one more How I would like to kill you without a sound And bury you where you would not be found How I would like to share my fun with you But I am selfish and sharing is not cool Chorus How I would like to shoot you in your head And watch you bleed until you're almost dead How I would like to share my fun with you But I am selfish and sharing is not cool Chorus 'This is the first Ramirez song ever written and ever recorded. The original title of it was I’m A Serial Killer, but the next day I decided to use some words of the chorus as the title for the song and add an exclamation mark to it. I Would Like To Kill You! is about the general feeling of wanting to take somebody’s life for no particular reason, which of course shouldn’t be an option to anyone of us. The lyrics are based upon some primitive Chris Isaak alike riff. The adding of the word ‘live’ to the title of the song suggests that the recordings were made during a Ramirez show, but this isn’t the case. The occasional applauding and firing of guns in the audience during the song was taken from a Technics sx-KN3000-keyboard. Initially Ramirez was planned to record only this one song, which explains why the lyrics aren’t about one killer but about several ways of murdering. At the time Danny decided to make it a live song and gave the name Danny Ramirez and Friends to the project to account for the bunch of musicians you hear. Whoever they were, they’re doing a great job. For instance listen to the fantastic leadguitar halfway of the song, right before the breakdown. Nonetheless, I Would! was only played live four times at real Ramirez gigs: at the first gig on April 2, 1999, at the second gig on December 24, 1999, at the third gig on December 31, 1999, and at Danny’s comeback show -- his fourth gig -- on February 22, 2002.'

I Hope You Die In A Freak Accident! 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Chorus: I hope you die in a freak accident I hope you die in a freak accident Your life ain't worth shit I've had enough of it I hope you die in a freak accident Your wheels have been running for much too long Down the roads of life But when you drive the country roads It ain't hard to survive Well, there will come a day or night Your death car will arrive And the highway you're on then You won't leave alive Chorus You drive like crazy, you're lost in stress You're running out of time You're always late, yeah way too late To see the traffic light Why would you stop if it's good for your car But better for your life Just drive on through, underneath a truck You will be just fine Chorus 'This one is somewhat different from the other lyrics, because it’s about getting irritated by motorists driving through a red light while driving in your car or on your bike or moped on a crossing lane through the green one. All rules are made to be broken, except for the rules in traffic. After I Hope You Die! had become the biggest hit on the first Ramirez tape, I decided to record it again for the 2002 Reload Your Gun! cd because the song is one of the favourite sing alongs at Ramirez gigs, and has been the final song on the regular set list since Danny first started performing live on April 2, 1999. However, in a surprising turn of events after May 14, 2022, Freak Accident was temporarily removed from the set list, only to be played again live more regularly up from September 2023.'

Baby, Soon I'll Take Your Life! 03:06
lyrics

You never caused me any sorrow You never caused me any pain But right now that all doesn't matter 'Cause I am, well I'm not quite sane Chorus: Baby, soon I'll take your life With a gun or with a knife But please don't think it's for a reason, or two I just have got no better things to do You never caused me any sorrow You never caused me any pain But right now that all doesn't matter 'Cause I am what others call insane Chorus 'One of my favourite tunes and the second one I came up with. The song is written in the night of 2 to 3 June 1998. It’s very Elvis alike and as for the lyrics I’d get a bit inspiration from Prince. The song is actually a love song sung by a not quite sane killer, implying the lyrics are about the vague line between love and hate rather than a troubled relationship being the reason for the murder. Except for about 15 gigs the song has been played at every Ramirez show from April 1999 until February 2019, with less frequent live performances since.'

For I Am Inspired By The Devil! 02:23
lyrics
buy track
And finally you found a place to rent You think it's an apartment you paid for in advance But there's one thing you still do not know It's right into my basement you will go Chorus: For I am inspired by the devil He tells me what to do every night Some may call it demonical (demonic) possession But to me this possession is alright At daytime you can't see (tell) at my eyes That at midnight I will be satanized And when outside it is getting dark In the basement bloodshed will be your part Chorus 'The inspiration for this title came from the Finnish nuclear metal band Impaled Nazarene. They used this supposed movie sample on their 1996 Latex Cult-cd. I released only one studio recording of Inspired!, and used a live version from March 12, 2009, for the In Concert!-cd. Of the non first album songs of the Load Your Gun!-tape, this one appeared on many acoustic set lists since it was done at Danny’s first concert (April 2, 1999), and is still played live now and then. The lyrics are about someone renting an apartment somewhere in some city, but instead ending up in the cellar of the evil landlord. Every town has its Satanic killer! Believe me...'
