Smog Sunday

"Back in School" by Smog -

(if someone wants to throw this one up on Youtube, let me know...)

I saw you standing there
With your hand in his hair
And his hand in
Your back pocket
I couldnt help but stare

I wanted to tell you
That I was back in school
But in the dark of the club
I knew it wouldnt carry much weight
Well, I'm trying to learn your language
I'm trying to learn your language

I came to your party empty-handed
I came to your party, uninvited
I came to your party, a headstart on the drinking

I wanted to tell you
That I was back in school
But in the chit-chat, chit-chat chit-back...
Well, I'm trying to learn your language
It's like a fly learning how to bark
I'm trying to learn your language
It's like a fly learning how to bark

That smile on your face
That smile on your face
That smile on your face
I tried to erase
That smile on your face

But a kiss was not the answer
A kiss was not the answer
A drunken kiss was not the answer

Waits Wednesday

Tom Waits' "Soldier's Things" -

Davenports and kettle drums
and swallow tail coats
table cloths and patent leather shoes
bathing suits and bowling balls
and clarinets and rings
and all this radio really
needs is a fuse
a tinker, a tailor
a soldier's things
his rifle, his boots full of rocks
and this one is for bravery
and this one is for me
and everything's a dollar
in this box

Cuff links and hub caps
trophies and paperbacks
it's good transportation
but the brakes aren't so hot
neck tie and boxing gloves
this jackknife is rusted
you can pound that dent out
on the hood
a tinker, a tailor
a soldier's things
his rifle, his boots full of rocks
oh and this one is for bravery
and this one is for me
and everything's a dollar
in this box

New York - My Kinda Town!

Wow, is it good to be back. Our tour was amazing. We met cool people, got kicked out of houses we were staying at, saw doomsday blockbuster movies, ate hot dogs, with meat and without, cut our fingers, watched Los Angeles be unable to handle rain without the power going out, lost red hats and found them again, stayed with our parents, got in car wrecks...

We found used copies of Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever and Soundgarden's Down on the Upside and listened to those fellas insane amounts, for the first time in years. "Switch Opens" by SG and "Face in the Crowd" by TP are SO GOOD. Yeah.
