UP AGAINST THE WALL
SITS MY OLD GUITAR
PUT THERE FOR A MOMENT 
AS YOU WALKED OUT THE DOOR
DUST ON IT’S SHOULDERS
EVERY STRING OUT OF TUNE
IT’S GOT NO CHANCE AT ALL
UP AGAINST THE WALL

 I DON’T WRITE ANYMORE
OR PLAY OLD SAD SONGS
THE PHONE STOPPED RINGING
AND THE STOVE IS NEVER ON

ONE DIM LIGHT THAT’S NEVER TURNED OFF
THE GRASS SO HIGH
A GIRAFFE COULD GET LOST
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY 
I’VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP
I DON’T EVEN DRINK 
TOO LOW TO FILL A CUP

HOW DOES A MAN 
GET LIKE THIS?
I USED TO MAKE RECORDS
AND RADIO HITS
I GUESS YOU CAN SAY
I’VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP
I DON’T EVEN DRINK
TOO LOW TO FILL A CUP

UP AGAINST THE WALL.aif

Riding home home along the ridge of the western sun
Now the crimson day dissolves and darkness comes
There were people on this land before we were
And they surely will be here when we are gone

Ch 
Ahhhh  aaahhh

When the revolution came, it skipped this town
It's the same old man that tries to keep us down
They came to set us free, whoop-dah-dee
But we won't be going down so easily

Ch

Riding Home

Lyrics:

Once I had this buddy, and his name was Eddie Black
Well, Ed was kinda funny, but never had something I lacked
It seems his life was spangled, always opportune

And how did Eddie get a girl like you?

We took the same courses, and had the same group of buds,
But somehow unseen forces, made him worth more than the studs
I mostly came in later, other times too soon

But how did Eddie get a girl like (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like you?

(Bridge) Oohs

How did Eddie get a girl like (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like you (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like (you)
Eddie taught me something about myself, I get
Upset with the progress of someone else
Eddie taught me something about myself, 
I’m not the type of person to get over well
Eddie got a girl like you

Girl Like You - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Lyrics:

All you gathered for me here, want to send me off to get gone
Where each day is like a year, a year whose days are long

Right hand raised is steady, recite all when ready
Palm of hand on book is sweaty, not a decision of choice

Intervention oh they took my cell phone.
Friendly faces all I see. Why?
Only cause I’m acting out of control,
Got ‘em looking after me

I’ve heard things about that place, got to prove that I can think straight
Both feet planted on the ground, guess my mind ain’t always sound

Intervention oh they took my cell phone.
Friendly faces all I see. Why?
Only cause I’m acting out of control,
Got ‘em looking after me

Begin Again

Light As A Feather - Master V2 DYN

When i was younger
it was the rage
to insulate yourself from age……
and now

I’ve become a lunger
trapped in a cage
encapsulated on the page

Happy hour gummy bears, care
I don't want to think about it


As I've grown older, it's become the rage
to insulate

happy hour gummy bears, care
I don't want to think about it

I don't want to think about......it

Younger

anxious times await us all
I can’t tell if we’ve seen the writing on the wall
I hope that you can get your head
out of your asshole
pause, just take a breath 
take it slow
now

I don’t want to be your momma 

I don’t, I don’t

I Don't (Wanna Be Your Momma)

The sparkle on the edge
Of the guillotine blade
Could free my head
And feed it to the stars

But the lovely, tender hooks
You sweetly sing
Are more beautiful
And dangerous by far

The empty silver moon,
Clanged like a bell
Which to this very day
Still so rudely rings

But the violent tender hooks
You coldly sing
Are the same on which
My frozen body swings 

The only wind 
Blows through every treetop
The only wave
Breaks on every shore

If I am alive
It's no beginning
And when one day I’m dead
It is no end

For the dark and tender hooks
You softly sing
Are the ones that bring me
back to life again

Tender Hooks

Not until now
not until then
not until 
We Cum Again 

we come again

Not until then! 

WE come again

Not until Now
Not until Now 
Not until Now

Not Until Now

Heather and Julie 
Drove to a desert oasis 
One they dreamed of in a dream
As they went they sang a song
Of strange and distant places 
Called Nobody Knows What It Means 
But nobody knows what it means
Nobody knows what it means

I know I saw them
As I came hurrying by
Caught up deep in my own thoughts 
They waved and sang
Illuminated words
About what is real and what is not 


And I dreamed a thousand new dreams
Like images shown on a screen 
All amplified, yellows and greens 
At high speed, they flashed through the scenes 
And nobody knows what it means

Tender Hooks
