about

A very fond memory I have is meeting up with Jeff, Neal, and Chris Candy on the Shinobu/Pteradon tour and playing Jeff's recently purchased Wii together at Chris' house. Later on that same tour we saw the extended Bomb crew on their home turf and had brass monkeys for what seems like 15 hours. That "list of things that never fail to bring a smile to your face," for me, I believe, was: 1) 'Landslide, Baby' by Beaulah, 2) Cowboy Bebop, and a third thing that I can't remember now.

lyrics

the set was drawn up to be quartered,
in the converted comedy club,
we'll meet in chris' living room
to fit our shapes inside the bubbles...
but they fit inside of us,
and led to confused conversations
about the bands that we like
(and the ones that we don't)

[we've got no place to stay,
we've got a place to play
(so bring on hearing loss,
improve hand-eye coordination)
we've got no place to stay,
we've got a place to play
(make a list of all the things
that never fail to bring a smile to your face)
it's only two weeks until the tour,
and its $270 down the drain
(i should have gone to
diamond and gold university like my sister)
we've got no place to stay
(we've got a place to play)]

now that we're back in the backyard,
we can drink in the feeling of friendship.
because a song is just a song,
until you really want to hear it.

there's no way else to be.you put the I in We.
so bring on hearing loss,
improve hand-eye coordination.
