lyrics

Sucking up the dirt
like a leech, like a sponge for hurt
wading through the thickest air,
fraught with Kafka-esque nightmares

Take me out with the trash
spark burned and turned to ash
so sob story goes we all know the gist,
we know all the plot the twists

Enough grime to clog all the gears
in Big Ben ten times over
pressure dropping on my ribs
skin taught and growing colder

Bristles bent out of shape
from sweeping up all of this ticker tape
for my gold medal mental gymnastics,
head like that island of plastic - you can see it from space.

Take me out with the recyclables,
turn me into something useable
and give me some different lines,
everyone’s already heard all mine.

Enough grime.
New cue-cards, different lines.
The kind of lines that turn men into horses,
the kind of lies that earn husbands divorces…

Sorry Dudes EP
by Not Half Bad

We've been known to have jacuzzi parties a few hours before shows with these jerks which lead to throwing up in taco bell parking lots a lot right before we play. Our favorite people. This EP is rad. Moonraker

Trenchknife
by The Scandals

The Scandals are one of those bands that when they blow up, all of us who have known them will just say "Well yeah, duh. Of course." Rad punk rock with catchy "why-didnt-I-write-that" choruses to sing Moonraker
