Blasting away the cobwebs, the trio deliver an instant hit of retro-shaded, riff-rollicking Glam Rock for the good-times. Landing like the Black Sabbath / T.Rex collaboration that never happened, Mexican Dogs resurrect the rock’n’roll spirits of yesteryear and breathe new life into the sounds that defined their legacies.
While holding a torch to their greatest influences, “Run, Run, Run” would also prove a pivotal moment in lighting the way forward for the Mexican Dogs as a band. As frontman Gaz Wilcox says of the track:
"This song has the ghosts of sounds from past times with the idea of bringing it to a new era. This piece was the very first finished song that we made as Mexican Dogs! It kinda set the tone of how we wanted to sound as a band and from this we created a solid foundation and found inspiration to materialise more."
lyrics
You know it ain't much fun
I adore you
You're tripping, tripping, tripping oh no
You're tripping, tripping, tripping oh no!
She my shadow, she’s my sunshine, she's my thing
I adore you
Oh, baby, baby, baby, oh no
Baby, baby, baby, oh no
I've got ten good reasons, ten good reason to show
I've got ten good reasons to go
I didn't do it for love
I didn't do it for life
I didn't do it to hurt you
I didn't do if for good
I didn't do it for love
I didn't do it for life
I didn't do it to hurt you
I didn't do it for good
Cause I'm on my knees not going back home please
I adore you
You're tripping, tripping, tripping oh no
You got me tripping, tripping, tripping oh no
She my shadow she's my sunshine she my thing
I adore you
I'm tripping, tripping, tripping, oh no,
I'm tripping oh no
I've got ten good reasons, ten good reasons to show
I've got ten good reasons to go
I didn't do it for love
I didn't do it for life
I didn't do it to hurt you
I didn't do it for good
I didn't do it for love
I didn't do it for life
I didn't do it to hurt you
I didn't do it for good
