These guy's were American as apple pie. I got to see them twice, not nearly enough. Texacala Jones Is a national treasure! If singing like that was easy then everyone would do It.

Tex & The Horseheads - ‘Lock Me Up’ (a.k.a. “Ice Cold Beer”) Lock me up and throw away the key, They tried to catch the very soul of me. So I ran through the mountains like a wild horse, The ground kissed my feet, while the stars steered my course, And I drank from the lakes of forbidden mysteries. But I'm not runnin' away... 'Cause I was never here to stay. It’s there where the mountains climb way past the clouds, And on that highest peak a castle lives. Well I roamed those rooms and let me tell you, they’re filled with nothing but enchanted gloom. I wanted to leave, but I had to stay. But I'm not runnin' away... 'Cause I was never here to stay. Well up from the sea came Isis and the twins, They sang such a song they started up the winds. So I ran back to the castle in fear, The court jester opened me an ice cold beer, But I sat through the follies of a spoiled king. But I'm not runnin' away... 'Cause I was never here to stay. Lock me up and throw away the key, They tried to catch the very soul of me. So I ran through the mountains like a wild horse, The ground kissed my feet while the stars steered my course, And I drank from the lakes of forbidden mysteries. I drank from the lakes of forbidden mysteries...

I first heard this on the Du-Beat-Eo soundtrack. what a strange collection of songs that was. This, Mentors, Dr. Know, Social Distortion in full punk rock glory next to a light but great r and b song by Chuck E Weiss. Every other weird genre they randomly could throw together was also included.

The chick was truly mad. Actually finished a full bottle of vodka during the gig i saw(lol). I got quite stoned on pot with the bandmembers afterwards. Not the most brilliant band in the world but loads of fun.

It was called "Ice Cold Beer" on the 'DuBeat-e-o' Soundtrack in 1985, but was titled "Lock Me Up" on the bands debut Lp in 1984
