Lyrics:
Dad Came Home [Version (a)]:
Dad came home
Drunk as shit
We bled our nails (?)
And ??
Dad got nailed
To the cross
Crucified
Bye bye!
Lost his job
Dad got cut
???
???
Dad came home
Drunk as shit
We bled our nails (?)
And ??
Dad got nailed
To the cross
Crucified
Bye bye!
Lost his job
Dad got cut
???
???
Dad Came Home (demo) [Version (b)]:
Dad came home
Drunk as shit
We bled our nails
???
Dad got nailed
To the cross
Crucified
Bye bye
Lost his job
Dad got cut
I'll get the rope
Mother pain
Dad came home
Drunk as shit
We bled our nails
???
Dad got nailed
To the cross
Crucified
Bye bye
Lost his job
Dad got cut
I'll get the rope
Mother pain
The Song:
"Dad Come Home" is the name of a song Beck played on with his early metal/punk band, Loser.
There are two known recordings of the tune. The first is from the 1992 Demo, which shows the song to be a heavy slab of garage metal.
The second recording was released on the Kill The Moonlight DVD soundtrack. The director of the movie, Steve Hanft, was the leader of Loser.
Though to be clear, I am fairly certain that both versions are the same recording. The demo is not as clear in sound quality, and you can't quite hear the buzzing keyboards on top. Perhaps it is just raw and unmixed, compared to the final version on Kill The Moonlight. I'm not sure. But the vocals and some of the other things (the way the song ends for instance) sound identical.

Notes:
- When the 1992 Metal Demos circulated, we did not know the song names. For ID purposes, we had called this one "Crucified," off of the lyrics. But then it was released as a bonus track for "Kill The Moonlight" under this title.
-
Loser was an early band Beck was in with Steve Hanft, they played metal grunge punk songs.
