about

This started out as a sad song; it remained a sad song when I performed it solo. Then, one day, I got a band and Matt Carlson, on the drums, added this kick-ass beat. The song was changed forever...

lyrics

THE LEAGUE OF THE BRIGANDS
(BANDITS OF HEARTS)

Didn't really mean to hurt you,
Didn't mean to cause you harm,
Didn't want to desert you,
Or cause your heart alarm.

Oh they taught me well,
The league of the brigands…
They taught me how to love them
And get up and leave them when I can…
And join the bandits of hearts
--the bandits of hearts.

Didn't really want to leave you,
But I didn't really want to stay.
You know I could never deceive you,
So I had to be on my way.

Oh they taught me well;
They made my heart swell.
Just when I thought I found love,
They all got up and left me to myself…
And that's what I did to you.

I took all of the pain from my youth
and I passed it on to you.
You'll probably find a brand new love, and you'll
do to her what I did to you.
And we'll keep that cycle of hurt going on
'cause that's what we seem to do.
Learn from the master of disaster 'cause
nothing else tells the truth
…no, nothing else tells the truth.

I'm not proud…
over what I did to you.

Hold to your heart… before you let it go.

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
