john onyskin Man, The first track with the opening,"ahhh or oohs" takes me back 30 years to Pretty Pink especially O.M.D`s if you leave. It`s just the tempo and beat there but not the sound. That shit lays in a half pack of smoked camel cigarettes while listening to Beat Happening and Lou Reed. The tracks go steady after that like a lazy June afternoon while walking to the store for a cold one for an afternoon on the porch people watching and thinking deep.We miss u SACTOE... Favorite track: In This Life.

In This Life 05:13
Do you ever wonder what it'd be like to be someone else? You know you don't have to be yourself. Can you really be 27 and wanna be somebody else? You don't be adored to love what is good in this life? In this life. Oh, in this life we're barely living. Did you hear Jelly Roll on the radio last night? He played a fabulous piano solo for the wounded in Indo-china. Ma and pa you were too good to him? Didn't give him any excuses in this life. In this life. Oh, in this life we're barely living. Do you even wonder? Do you even care? To be living your life staring at a TV screen. In this life. Oh, in this life we're barely living.

I'been looking for you You been looking for me Say we've got to get us together Maybe even write you a letter, no Not your typical love song About boys and boys and girls and girl Two birds of a feather my dear sweet song I heard it all along a long long time It's all right here all of it every bit Coming through to you Not your typical love song About boys and boys and girls and girl

Misery 02:52
You're staying here but I give it 6-10 years Will you have given up on your love? Have you seen Misery? Do you know what I mean? Kathy Bates taking shots at someone she loves. Help you find patient to pretend. Oh, help you darling you'll need it again and again and again. Don't get caught up in your love, no no no. You're staying here but I give it 6-10 years. Will you have given up on your love? Beware of those with kids gloves. They'll only hurt you in the end. Help you find patient to pretend. Oh, help you darling you'll need it again and again and again. Don't get caught up in your love, no no no.

Hurricane 02:43
Don't get caught up in the hurricane It's coming over me. Don't get caught up in the hurricane All pushed up against the sea. Oh Oh Oh Don't get caught up in the hurricane It's coming over me. Don't get caught up in the hurricane All stuck up against the wind. Oh Oh Oh I can not breathe. I cannot hardly wait. No time to dance self-consciously. The party's just began. Oh Oh Oh I can not breathe. I cannot hardly wait. Oh Oh Oh

There'll be a Baby John Dwyer slapping his knees to get higher There'll be a big fat woman screaming at minotaurs and racecar drivers And we'll listening to the king listening to the king While a lonely fat DJ passes out to a criminal Kid Congo Singing bongo bongo bon bongo And we'll be sitting listening to the same song Oh Oh It goes 1234 tell me if you like me more It goes 6978 who do we appreciate It goes 8 6 7 12 6 7 that's great It goes 6275 beat me up to stay alive And I don't want you to fade away. The dreams that we once had should be here to stay Analog recorders, a virign Pat Smear When old days seem new again and we're all in the clear At a basement dive, drink the wine. It flows from bottles one a piece. We aren't in danger. We never were. The bottle is empty, but we're all fine. The bottle is empty, but we're all fine. And we'll still be listening to the same song.
