Los Angeles is the debut album of the American punk rock band X, released on April 26, 1980. Produced by ex-Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek, it includes a cover of the 1967 Doors song "Soul Kitchen".
Such bands as Black Flag, the Germs, and, especially, X were the leaders of the pack, prompting an avalanche of copycat bands and eventually signing record contracts themselves.
X's debut, Los Angeles, is considered by many to be one of punk's all-time finest recordings .
X actually consisted of some truly gifted musicians, including rockabilly guitarist Billy Zoom, bassist John Doe, and frontwoman Exene Cervenka, who, with Doe, penned poetic lyrics and perfected sweet yet biting vocal harmonies.
It made it on at number 16 for the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop Critics Poll. In 2003, the album was ranked number 286 on the Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time .
NAUSEA LYRICS
Today you're gonna be so sick so sick
you'll prop your forehead on the sink
say oh christ oh jesus christ
my head's gonna crack like a bank
Today you're gonna be so sick so sick
you'll prop your forehead on the sink
say oh christ oh jesus christ
my head's gonna crack like a bank
Tonight you'll fall asleep in clothes-so late
like a candy bar wrapped up for lunch
that's all you get to taste
Poverty and spit poverty
Nausea
bloody red eyes go to nausea
bloody red eyes go to nausea
bloody red eyes
go to sleep
You're talking out of harmony
You can't remember what you said
cut it out you feel retarded
take the sissors saw the head

SEX AND DYING IN HIGH SOCIETY LYRICS
You started out that way
you'd do anything to stay
and keep your money boys
made of silver and gold
keep your pekinese
turkish cigarettes
and your lighter that looks like a gun
so you marry your daddy
with a different name
sex and dying in high society
that pretty man of yours
the one hiding inside the director's clothes
the one who calls you dear
after banging away at you in the night
that one's just got to go
every time you look at him
you could almost just fall asleep
and there's a masturbating
getting underneath the bed
and now you tell
sex and dying in high society
now you told the maid
to burn you on your virgin back
with a curling iron
hotter than hot
you say it's good enough
you say your pain is better
than any kind of love
sex and dying in high society
