Old Dog New Tricks (Lyrics)

Started 1991
Oh man that year was so much fun
Going to the local shows
The Utah ska scene had just blown
Forever changing who I am
I'd like to think I'm still that man
Praises to Swim Herschel Swim
To relive that again it's going to take an

From Stretch to Catfische to Hoo Ray Who?
Insatiable, Sturgeon, Model Citizen too
From Provo to Ogden to SLC
90's was the best of the local scene
I want to bring that magic back
Something different from the same old tracks
New indie, pop, and rock is cool
But I want to dip my toes in that old school pool like an

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Wouldn't it be nice to see that again
Living it up like their parents did
When it's all about skankin the night away
Not a worry in sight all's A-Okay!

Am Ende Der Schlacht - Rock Flexible
###############################
Tod weithin, 
Gestank umgibt uns nach verlor'ner Schlacht,
Rauch liegt in der Luft, die Feuer brennen!
Das Ende kommt näher und kalt trifft uns der Atem der Macht.
Feucht ist das Gras und die Erde atmet so schwer.
Halt mich ganz fest auch ich halte Dich und drück Dich fest an mich!
Weine nicht, bitte weine nicht!
