about

Couple of facts:
This track seems to be a fan favorite. Got lots of college radio play, in which the song reached #2 on some charts.

lyrics

BATTLE ON THE PERIPHERY LYRICS

Woke up one morning, I was feeling low
Got out of bed, baby, just for show
Show the whole world they can’t swallow me whole
So off to work now, off I go.

Yeah this is the high life; It’s a good life
It’s a sweet life ...only some were born to know

Battle was won but my head was blown
Just goes to show you what little you own
Working so hard, work my fingers to the bone
Get ‘em all bloody, just to pass on the gold.

Yeah this is the high life; It’s a good life
It’s a sweet life only some were born to know

Always on the edge
If you look straight ahead,
you know, you might miss me...
On the outside, of an inside circle, the periphery

Falling in. I’m caught in the cracks.
Falling in now... I’m caught in the cracks.

Battle was won but my head was blown
Just goes to show you what little you own
Polluting my mind with those money-fiend freaks
Who all speak in tongues with their tongues in cheek.

Yeah this is the high life; It’s a good life
It’s a sweet life ...only some were born to know

Always on the edge
If you look straight ahead, you might miss me
On the outside, of an inside circle, the periphery

Falling in. I’m caught in the cracks.
Falling in now. I’m caught in the cracks.
Falling in now. I’m caught in the cracks.
Falling in now. I’m caught in the cracks.

about

Randi Russo Los Angeles, California

Already known for her “honest, provocative lyrics” (The Big Takeover) and her upside-down guitar-playing which is “sweet when it needs to be but nasty in all the right places” (The Village Voice), Randi Russo continues to create songs with equal parts toughness & tenderness. While she often draws comparisons to PJ Harvey, Lou Reed & Patti Smith, Randi definitely has a voice of her own. ... more
