Big Blackwas a rock music band active between 1982 and 1987. They were headed by singer, lyricist, guitarist, and co-songwriter Steve Albini. They found little mainstream success (and never really sought any), but the group's piledriver drum machines and brutal, slashing guitars were hugely influential, especially on industrial rock. Albini's snide, malevolent singing and provocative lyrics garnered much attention. They have been classified as noise rock, and were a formative influence on , but the band members have always described the band as a punk rockband and in the notes for Pigpile, a live recording of their final London performance, Albini explicitly describes Big Black as punk rock.

Bad Penny Lyrics

Big Black

Bad Penny" -- Big Black
Form the album, "Songs About Fucking"
OUght to know what I liar I am
Ought to know me by now
Don't curse me for my nature
Don't blast me for my wrongs
Just a bad penny
I always come back to you
Just a bad penny

Just a bad penny
I always come back to you
Should have known you couldn't trust me
As far as you could throw me
You couldn't throw me to far
Just a bad penny
Couldn't throw me to far

I think I fucked your girlfriend once.
Maybe twice, I don't remember
Then I fucked all your friend's girlfriends
Now they hate you

Just a bad penny
Just a bad penny
Such a bad penny
A bad bad penny

OUght to know what I liar I am
Ought to know me by now
Such a bad penny
A bad bad penny
OUght to know what I liar I am
Ought to know me by now
Ought to know you couldn't trust me
As far as you could throw me
Such a bad penny
Such a bad penny
Slap my hand
