Black No. 1 Lyrics

I went looking for trouble and boy, I found her
She's in love with herself, she likes the dark
And on her milk white neck, the Devil's mark
Now it's all Hallows Eve, the moon is full

Will she trick or treat? I bet she will
She will, Happy Halloween, baby
She's got a date at midnight with Nosferatu
Oh baby, Lilly Munster, ain't got nothing on you

Well when I called her evil, she just laughed
Well cast that spell on me, boo bitch craft
Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing

Dye 'em black, dye 'em black
Black, black, black, black No. 1
Black, black, black, black No. 1

Little wolf skin boots, and clove cigarettes
An erotic funeral for which she's dressed
Her perfume smells like burning leaves
Everyday is Halloween

Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing

Dye 'em black, dye 'em black
Black, black, black, black No. 1
She dyes 'em black, black, black, black No. 1

Loving you, loving you, love
Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you, loving you, love, love
Loving you was like, loving the dead

Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you was like loving the dead

Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead

Sacre bleu

Loving you, loving you, love
Loving you was like loving the dead
Was like fucking the dead

Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead

Loving you, loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you, loving you
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead

Black, black, black, black No. 1
She dye's 'em black, black, black, black No. 1
Ooh yeah

Type O Negative was a gothic / doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York, US in 1990. They are well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music. "The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes. They were also known for doom metal riffs, deep bass lines, heavy but usually slow drums and bass-range vocals of gothic metal. Lead singer Peter Steele described their music as "bad songs written on a Tuesday night."

The two main influences on the band are the Beatles and Black Sabbath, and keyboardist Josh Silver has expressed a love of Pink Floyd--evidence of which can be heard in the atmospherics of his production techniques.

The band arose from the ashes of the band Carnivore and gained popularity with their songs "Black No. 1" and "Christian Woman" from the Bloody Kisses album. The album was the first in Roadrunner Records' catalog to go both gold and platinum. They have successfully toured with Pantera, Life of Agony, and dozens of other established and up-and-coming bands, as well as taking part in Ozzfest. The band had VHS and DVD documentary releases in addition to their CD releases and contributions to movie soundtracks and compilations.

Peter Steele, singer and bassist of the band, died of heart failure on April 14th 2010 at the age of 48.
