about

My Ruin recorded our cover of "Trouble" by Elvis for our album "The Sacred Mood" in 2013. I've always loved the bluesy stop-time riff in the verses of this song musically but I especially dig the tough, seductive & evil vibe of the lyrics.

The first time I saw Elvis perform it live was in the late 70's. He was dressed in all black leather on his "68 Comeback Special" and I was a teenager. I loved it! Suzi Quatro also did a really cool cover of it in 1974 which I discovered in the 90's. I've always thought it would be killer to do a metal version of it and we finally did. I hope you dig it!

lyrics

TROUBLE
--------------

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up

And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

I've never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man

I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're going to start a rumble
Don't you try it on alone

Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be

So don't mess around
Don't mess around
Don't mess around with me

I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil
So don't mess around
Don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil
So don't mess around with me
Yeah!
