Briyan: guitars, bass, percssion, sunoai
Gregg: vocals, lead guitars

This was originally recorded at home on a 4-track cassette around 1984. for this version, I fed the original into sunoai's cover model and eventually came out with this one which models Gregg's voice and our guitars pretty closely. Gregg wrote the first verse and I built out the rest of the lyric from there.

I Can't Take It

when i go out to the city 
people wanna and slow me down 
and all the girls they look so pretty 
always trying to tie me down 

[chorus]
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i can't take it no more 
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i'm always trying to even the score

blue eyes, blonde hair, lipstick traces 
all up and down my skin 
she's got a smile nothing replaces 
something tells me I'll never win

[chorus]
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i can't take it no more 
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i'm always trying to even the score

[solo break]

summer swelters 
this heat's enough to drive me wild
 jump in the backseat, feel her breathing
 anticipating something wild

[chorus]
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i can't take it no more 
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i'm always trying to even the score

Ooooh… Ooooh…
i can't take it no more 
Ooooh… Ooooh…
i'm always trying to even the score

[outro]
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it no more
