a song off the shotguns' 1990 debut album, girl with a buzzcut, inspired by the incredible greatunironic's stranger thing fan fiction, "the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you". i think that this is the first song that eddie ever wrote for the shotguns post '86, but he didn't finish it until '89. some things take time. 

501s and a yellow sweater
And if I didn’t know better
I’d say you were looking back
No, I know better than that

Even in the quiet
Your footsteps fall in sync with mine
I’d say you were looking back
But I know better than that

light your cigarette 
I’ll take the floor, you take the bed
If it weren’t for you, honey, I’d be dead
I don’t know what I expected
We’ll never have sex

Three years on 
And I said what I’ve got to say
Whenever you look my way
I know better than that

light your cigarette 
I’ll take the floor, you take the bed
I wonder what goes on in your head
I don’t know what I expected
We’ll never have sex

I bet your mama told you
Back when you were a family
Watch out for boys like me
If it were anyone else
I’d be inclined to agree 
But what’s wrong with boys like me?
I wish you liked boys like me

light your cigarette 
I’ll take the floor, you take the bed
lie awake and want to take 
Your hand in mine as it dangles off the edge
I don’t know what I was thinking  
We’ll never have sex

we'll never have sex demo - the shotguns
