I'm a record collector, & I shopped at Planet records I was just a kid Thought it'd be there forever So I went to Deli Haus, but it was long gone college kids sucked away the charm Stepped down to Captain Nemo’s for an Italian hero and a pinball game, but it’s aint the same off to The Rat, didn’t need an ID cuz everybody there knows me This is not my kenmore square I used to see The Pixes there Now the hotel commonwealth is where My childhood went to die… I passed the dutch with Mr. Butch , in the alley behind a garbage truck caught a Red Sox game, for 20 bucks now I don’t know where I am I snuck into the cars, with a beer in my hand and the bouncers didn't give a damn they don't know my name but they know my face they just smiled and waived me in! This is not my kenmore square I used to go see Gang Green there Now the hotel commonwealth is where My childhood went to die… Well I took my date, to The Pizza Pad and she looked at me and smiled then went to Bill's, saw The Shods and The Pills we had a wicked awesome time tried pick up chicks back at Narcissus but the girls would always laugh they weren’t girls at all, they were 6 feet tall but man did I have a blast This is not my kenmore square I used to see The Atlantics there Now the hotel commonwealth is where My childhood went to die… solo blame it on menino blame it on BU blame it all on Amazon it wasn't me and you! who took a piece of history sold it to the chains well this used to be a rock & roll town now it's Anywhere, USA! This is not my kenmore square I used to see the Til Tuesday there Now the hotel commonwealth is where My childhood went to die went to die went to die went to die DIE!

Know No Know 02:48
well I saw you walking with your laundry tears on your face and your head hung low And I like the way you fold your clothes just so like Marie Kondo and I thought that you should know I thought that you should know But she don’t wanna know every now and then if you need a friend well I think that you should let me know I'm a good listener, we'll talk music and literature I'm really no so sinister, we're similar I thought that you should know I thought that you should know But she don’t wanna know Let's pretend that we're long lost, friends reunited after losing touch years ago we can catch up on the good old days which could start today, over espresso and I think that you should I thought that you should know But she don’t wanna know Know I know that I know that it's not so easy when my lines is cheesy and you just don't know if you can trust me, I'm not asking you to love me I just feel what I feel we could take it slow But she turns her head when she sees me No, does she not believe me, would she sink so low? to go slumming, my guitar keeps strumming to a tune that's too fast for slow and I think that you should I thought that you should know But she don’t wanna know

Wll I'm sick and tired of sittin around with nothing good to do but if I have to sit around I'm glad that it's with you and if I ever got around to doing something new I wouldn't be sittin around no more but I'd still be here with you and that's all - right Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down And the world keep turnin’ round And I’ll be found on the sunny side of town Any time that you’re around If I ever find my way to the places in my dreams I'd share the pot of gold I found beneath a wllow tree with you and you alone my love, imagine how it'd be if you could take the world by storm and do it next to me and that's all - right Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down And the world keep turnin’ round And I’ll be found on the sunny side of town Any time that you’re around bridge: and yeah they told you that, that I'm no good for you and It might be more than a just little true but the fire I feel when, when I just look at you is more than we need to get us thru Well I'm sick and tired of sitting around, what really worries me is that someday you realize that you got sick of me I may not be the kind of guy's got all the things you need they say that all you need is love and we've got you and me and that's all - right Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down And the world keep turnin’ round And I’ll be found on the sunny side of town Any time that you’re around

What is this I see before me? Drunk text from my ex under the Christmas tree She ain’t looking for some lovin just attention But where were you when I was out on the street! It ain’t all about you This time Is it good when we’re together cuz I can’t remember As I recall it not much at a it was civil war When the going got too rough it was too much hard handle So she just walked right out the door again It ain’t all about you This time! Now she’s looking for a piece of the action And I know that in the end that I’ll give in and when it’s over it’s a fatal attraction I can’t remember her so here we go again SOLO What is this I see before me? Drunk text from my ex under the Christmas tree She ain’t looking for some lovin just attention But where were you when I was out on the street! It ain’t all about you This time!

Hey, how ya been I know it's been 30 years And hey, yeah I’m a little bit high and I drank about 7 beers I saw a commercial for a great new drug and it used that old song, the one we used to love the one that was playing on the night we regret but hey, if you try, really really hard you might that we had more than a few laughs Hidden in between the scars And I cannot remember the name of that song or who even sang it it's been far too long the one that was playing on the night we regret cuz we'd fight and we’d break up and make up and fight and the neighbors would scream cuz we’d lasted all night and we’d fight and we’d make up and break up and fith and that’s why I called tonight and hey, I don't care about you and I'm sure that you feel the same but hey that song made me think of you wait that song was called wicked game Holy shit I remember the name of that song but can’t remember who sang it, it’s been far too long the one that was playing on the night we regret the night we regret

Fast One 03:46
Sometimes life it takes a turn And I’m the type to never learn That’s when it’s time for a heel turn Gotta burn it down turn it upside down So if you gonna roll with us You gotta understand it’s dangerous First your gonna have to earn my trust And if it goes bust dummy up and dumb it down That’s when it’s time to pull a fast one I swear that it’ll be the last one Ain’t gonna wait to see how it ends This time I’ll take some action And then I’ll ride off in the sunset I know you probably upset But the gloves and the bets all off this time Old fashioned, let’s pull a fast one So if you've down to take that step To the side of town you won’t suggest To enemies friends and all the rest We might make it back, don’t worry you’ll see Good luck to the suckers who 9 to 5 Heart attack, it’s your chance to live or die And ain’t going out like that this time And if you agree, it’s cuz you’re just like me That’s when it’s time to pull a fast one I swear that it’ll be the last one Ain’t gonna wait to see how it ends This time I’ll take some action And then I’ll ride off in the sunset I know you probably upset But the gloves and the bets all off this time Old fashioned, let’s pull a fast one And if we make it out a live We’re gonna have to run and hide And if they ask you who I am Turn it around and burn it down to the ground SOLO I got the map you got the tools Don’t need a gun cuz we old school Meet me out back in the middle of the night Bag man mike gonna drive us to the heist Rubber gloves, we don’t leave a trace Groucho, they can’t see my face We ain’t just cool we cold as ice Fake name, just in case it’s a roll of the dice That’s when it’s time to pull a fast one I swear that it’ll be the last one Ain’t gonna wait to see how it ends This time I’ll take some action And then I’ll ride off in the sunset I know you probably upset But the gloves and the bets all off this time Old fashioned, let’s pull a fast one

Away 03:10
In a room down the corridor - she saw the ghost a man in a pompadour He was looking for his baby he's' the one you can hear crying every night for years That's when they took her so far - away and if you ask her where she was she'll tell you - away and every time it happens she goes - away away (away) away doctor bill gave her pills in a comfy room tho it had no windows, she could see the moon and she made new friends and they could see it too and they looked like me and they looked like you That's when they took her so far - away and if you ask her where she was she'll tell you - away and every time it happens she goes - away away (away) away well they don’t know her name but they know she's strange And she didn’t know what to do and she played the game, when she said she'd change and it happened once again, like it did to me and you solo Two newlyweds found the home of their dreams in the middle of their first night, they heard screams It used to be the sound of a baby’s cry nowadays they say, there’s a woman in the sky That's when they took her so far - away and if you ask her where she was she'll tell you - away and every time it happens she goes - away away (away) away

Cry 03:46
Did you ever look around the room and wonder who who these people are and what they mean to you? And did you ever stop to think that while you're busy looking at them they’re looking right back at you too? And I know that I'm obsessed and should be thinking the best but never the less, I realize that it's all true That if I vanished they'd manage to forget that we ever even met there's only one thing left to do Put my head down and cry lift my eyes to the sky wonder why and I cry and I hold my face in my hands and I cry I Wander the streets in the rain in the middle of the night and I'm hoping that I'll run in to you & sure enough there you are but the scars run to deep so you act like I didn’t just see you Have you ever wondered while your going under as the tunder claps about the things you didn't ever get to do? And when you wake up you make up an excuse to go back to bed but some how somehrere somebody thinks that they need you put my head down and cry lift my eyes to the sky wonder why and I cry then I hold my face in my hands and I cry I cry
