about
This song was written by Sherry Fraser, and Billboard Magazine wrote a review of “Comin’ Up from Behind” as covered by Marcy Playground for the movie soundtrack “Cruel Intentions” (starring Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Liv Tyler, and Ryan Phillippe):
“BILLBOARD MAGAZINE - NEW AND NOTEWORTHY - Rock Tracks:
This is a sinister rock pop song... perfectly suited for use on the soundtrack to “Cruel Intentions,” the comedic “Dangerous Liaisons” update starring several teen drama stars. The lyric tells the story of a dangerous, slithery personality - “She’s got the truth and her tongue for a slingshot”-and the vocal melody slides from one note to another like a snake, completing the image. Drawing from the swing craze, a bouncy high hat traipses along over this track’s rumbling bassline and distorted organ and guitar, tempering its straight rock tendencies with a bit of kitsch. This song’s hook sticks like glue, and it should soon be scaling the charts in the tradition of other recent soundtrack hits.”
She’s an eight ball
She’s rolling faster than a whitewall
She’s got an avalanche packed in a snowball
She’s losing all her leeches like a stonewall...she’s loaded up
She’s the underdog
Gonna take a mighty swipe at the high hogs
While they’re sipping on their tricks in a thick fog
Making eyes at the girls like bullfrogs...i’m telling you sir
She’s coming up from, coming up from,
Comin’ up, coming up from behind, yeah!
She’s coming up from, coming up from, coming up
Coming up from behind
You’d like her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire dangling
While your wall street pockets are jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games
It’s a longshot
She’s got the truth and her tongue for a slingshot
But she’s taking steady aim at the big shots
It’s hard to miss the ruling bullies on the blacktop...
You better pocket your turf
She’s coming up from behind
You had her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire dangling
While your gold lined pockets were jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your wretched games
She caught your sick lie
It was creeping in the shadow of your white smile
Lurking underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes
Were you greasing up plans for your small fry?
You want her talking up to you
Where you float like a royal balloon-o
Your ego swollen to the size of the moon...well
I think you found somebody to cut you down to size!

Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into with their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
