thomas Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yay! Introducing...- hello everybody recording live from somewhere - through triumph and tragedy we are pleased to announce that our new record is done! we are still developing the release schedule, but since we all collectively feel like big stinky ass-holes for leaving all of you waiting for such an extended period of time to hear everything, that we've decided to stream the whole damn record come friday right here on the old myspace page. that gives all of you a few days to start putting out the word before ya'll get to treat your ears to the new sounds. we need your help! tell your siblings friends parents cousins aunts uncles and enemies! finally we just wanted to thank all our friends, family and all the folks who had such encouraging words and herbs for us on tour. this has been one of the most tumultuous years in recent memory for all of us here and we wouldn't have made it through the highs and lows without being surrounded and by good people, because to quote phillip k. dick "everything... shifting, random, purposeless gray smoke you can't put your hands on. The only thing left is people; your family, your friends, your mistress, your protector. You can touch them, be close to them... breathing life that's warm and solid. Perspiration, skin and hair, saliva, breath, bodies. Taste, touch, smell, colors. Good god, there has to be something you can grab hold of! What is there beyond people?" thank you thank you thank you and just so that you can all sing along come friday... here are all the lyrics to the record in no particular order what so ever: DIGGIN' diggin on new scenes like takin the backstreets and vibin to fresh things we'll get there by stumblin so when they say "yeah we don't get you boy." and you feel that the brink is just a mile away we'll fly on by cause the truth alone will not save my soul and we're diggin our own iso'd hovel it's the gotta get down before the get up a bit reassured but never quite set up like the pedestrian who's questionin why she can't can't get a piece of mind we will fall further into debt but at the same time take all our cares away i know things can get rough on a dreamer so i scuffle my shoes on the wet pavement but at the same time take all my cares away i know things can get rough on a dreamer MY FRIENDS ALL PASSED OUT my friends all passed out this mornin' when i got up i was filled with worry and malaise while they were out fillin' their cups it went my left foot my right foot and on and such cause to get movin' is to get yourself up outta the rut its just the dumb gang again, but we could use some dumb luck and there's a pawn shop in my hood i use to scrape bucks it went my left foot my right foot and on and such besdies i'm not the type a' guy who really sleeps that much cause i work damn hard and it it'll drive us fuckin' crazy my friends all get defeated like me and left alone with their doubts the other day it was existentialism that was buggin' them out i said " you can't be perplexed over your sake or decay, shit, i'm smack dab in the middle of heaven and hell everyday" and it's the dumb kids again and hell i'm conscious at best and there's a pawn shop in my hood i use to pay rent it went my left foot my right foot to get where we're at besides we ain't got the time to really think about that cause we work damn hardand it'll drive us fuckin crazy pacing in my head and feeling quite lucid from pay check to pay check working more and living less "well you could be a vagrant sleepin catchin' z's?" "yeah, on a couch in my back alley..." cause if you're lucky just like me we can pass out before it drives us crazy LORD, I HATE YOU CALIFORNIA i'm always tryin to call ya papa so portland sounds aren't all ya know but i'm a 21st century hang-up who can hardly use his phone oh no we don't mean nothin' by it your boys will all be fine shit i should hit I-5 south one hundred and eighty miles instead of droppin you a line well i used to shake a finger at my friends who up and went and moved dude i am sympathizing with you more for seein' some new hues but oh lord i hate you california i guess give me santa cruz and i know it's rainin outside and it's damn near end of june damn if this old dope could go rope the sun well i'd yank it over you and the dogs all howl behind me in front the cats they claw and hiss and i guess i'm blessed to know my place is right here sittin' in the midst and that is why i got no reason to get on up and move dude i can understand your rationale for seein some new hues but oh lord i hate you california but please give me santa cruz oh ain't it funny how the weather seems to resemble my very mood? and it goes one buck short for everything i'm doin two still feet that i've got to keep movin three more shops round the block got looted cause every little birdie has to go and flee the coop and oh ain't it funny how the weather seems to resemble my very mood? oh lord i hate you california but please give me santa cruz WORLDS ENTIRE every little thing is gonna pass us by if we're sittin' but shit is this cheap wine? i don't mind i respect your penny pinchin' and baby girl in the summertime you look fine in vintage linens and it can be awfully hard and awfully effortless and we're each each others worlds entire every little thing is gonna change and we'll be left behind i agree when you say you wish that you had lived in some other time and baby girl in the summertime you lay and stare up at the sky do you think of the world with a little bit of cynicism? you say the rat race we're winnin' when i'm the bag mans follower in line with the peds? 7 months of grey hanging over my head and painstakingly meandering on through my day but we're each each others worlds entire i'm so sorry for awfully being my own worst enemy and so for now enjoy the sounds of silver linings behind every cloud cause i ain't lookin for no personal salvation just every little thing in moderation some sense of the normal between monsters and mortals and i never mean to go losing all my patience it's just the way that i go on relating my day to dayin' at least i know we're each each others worlds entire COUNTRY HOUSE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY we need some black bean tea like i need some sleep and our eyes are closed but we don't sleep a wink can't you see? shit don't you know it gets better? then we wake rise quick then we fade much faster but the patience in hand of the same old bastard says don't put all your dreams in one basket go ahead my friend you asked so i'll tell ya the simplicities of food clothes and shelter shit don't you know it gets better? comics and flicks a bag of grass is all we need got a country house in the heart of the city i fret and forget defeated be patient if it rains sit still in five it's a changin' so don't put all your dreams in one basket out back in the yard our stresses can rest where the shrubs meet towers when the sun sets out west don't you know it gets better? comics and flicks a bag of grass is all we need got a country house in the heart of the city hey oh yeah it gets better from calm to all calamity the good and bad of everything well hey oh yeah it gets better my nerves they swerve between the curve i guess it can only get better from here OH M*THERF*CKERS oh motherfucker no i couldn't give a shit about that oh oh motherfucker no he couldn't give a shit about that cause you have got to be a kiddin mixin music with that business oh yeah oh motherfucker shit i know i curse a too damn much that dude just curse too much oh oh motherfucker but that ain't much to discuss no that ain't much to discuss cause i'm just caught up in the moment puttin a little emphasis right on it a day that i am alive is not a day to waste so i'm sulken if it's wasted on the paper chase and if i let another fucker come and manage my time i'd just be another sucker with a nine to five and i ain't sleepin' in today can't recall the last time i did anyway we're tuned up fine in a world out of mind and motherfucker i tote that god damn line concerns today tomorrow the grind there's plenty to find in a world out of mind BOTTOM OF YESLER (HAMMER'S MARCH) aw damn man how it goes right on by yet nothin ever seems to go my way but that ain't no concern of mine my oh my my haze is fadin' away day after day yet nothin ever goes my way but that ain't no concern of mine aw damn man yeah i done raked the muck and it ain't even up to us but that ain't no concern of ours my oh my these days they melt together haze after haze my tempered mood was just a phase but that ain't no concern of yours SWEET STRANGE DREAMS sweet strange dreams we're not concerned with where or why we dwell or what happens in 2012 we're not concerned with the passing of hours or warring super powers and honestly i can't think of any place i'd rather be and honestly we can't think of any other place we'd rather be cause who's to say that life isn't fair or is? and who am i to keep on being such an awful pessimist? and who are you? for purchasing and listening to all of my bitchin' again when i fail to realize that i'm alive and my muse is every wasted bit of time slowly passing slowly passing by my mind in my sweet strange dreams PAYCHECKS AND PIPE DREAMS aw hell i'm fatigued and dumbfounded seated on my hands a giant eye outside my window i'm the game in it's frying pan and a stones throw from homeless is exactly where i am but i'd be damned wasting one more second thinkin' bout' the money i don't have the shit-kicker on the corner is me my attitude violates my own identity (echo) so hi hello! i've got no more time for hi hello! i must say no more cause this shit-kickers got somewhere to be my destination violates my own identity (echo) so no goodbye! i've got no more time i go goodbye! i must say i need more of something tangible you see we're all fragments of a paranoids dream now i'm more inclined to believe there is nothing beyond you and me ah hell i'm jaded pipe dreamin' lost in the mystery got my tin can got my family just a product of adrenal fatigue and a stones throw from homeless is exactly where we be but we'd be damned wasting one more second thinkin' bout' the money we don't need and yet i find that even sometimes i don't know how we'll get by but anything we are needing you must be believin' we'll all get by just fine 21ST CENTURY BOY from dust of distant stars threats of nuclear war could you be my 21st century little baby boy? so take hold our hands the world will need you baby boy to grow into a good man when i stare mundanely the moribund stare back at me and i think to myself why would anyone choose to exist where i am? we made love in the darkness to a fleeting housing market could you be my 21st century little baby boy? so take hold our hands the world will need you baby boy to grow into a good man and to put it all into context how you are so naive yet so complex and i just want you to be cognizant of all your dreams you see in the daylight cause many things escape my dreams in the night time don't have the answers but i'm tryin' to make right and baby boy can i offer some insight? not necessarily a long but a full life it's wonderful when looking at it right THE PARADOX OF HARD KNOCKS lately pains been driving me harder than any pleasure i could have this record is for all of you and a tribute to our beloved tom pfaeffle. we love you all. we'll be seein' ya... kay kay and his weathered underground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
