This track is my fvorite.  I like the use of the harmonized vocals.  Great energy through the song.

The opening track on The Super Happy Fun Club's new CD: "Go Fun Yourself"

Produced/Mixed/Mastered by: Jeremy Galanes and The Super Happy Fun Club

Lyrics:
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

met this girl at a party she said she spoke Vietnamese
i said that’s about as funny as me behind the wheel

stop thinking running faster will shield me from the cold
am i prepared to fit the mold?

my life’s a mess
don’t corner me i’ll swing in the dark, baby
my life’s a mess

this town needs an ego check and mine needs time to heal
it doesn’t take a genius to know just how i deal 

all we are, all we are is growing apart

My Life's A Mess (Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Lyrics:

The light just turned green, I’m ready to go

Nothing makes sense

Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s real

Maybe it’s stress

But how did it come to this? And where did it all go wrong?

I better leave a trail in case I run

We don’t need a way back

I feel surrounded

We don’t need a way back home

Then I feel alone

We don’t need a way back

I can sleep in this town but it can’t be home, no it can’t be home


I had a dream - a guitar and a queen

We’re larger than life

It died when I died, hollowed inside

A lookalike

But how did it come to this? And where did it all go wrong?

I better leave a trail in case I run

We don’t need a way back

I feel surrounded 

We don’t need a way back home

Then I feel alone

We don’t need a way back

I can sleep in this bed but it can’t be home, no, it can’t be home

Swear to me that I’ll never be lonely

How hard is it to set it in stone?

Swear to me, swear to me…

At least we got something right

At least we got something right

One phone call could’ve taken me home

Yeah, when I reach the water I will skip your stone

I won’t be held back, I won’t be held back

I gotta be stronger than these panic attacks

And one phone call could’ve taken me home

Yeah, when I reach the water I will skip your stone

Into the unknown, into the unknown

All I know is, baby, this can’t be home…

Way Back (The Conflict)

Off of "Go Fun Yourself", recorded and produced by Jeremy Galanes

Lyrics:
i know you have a hard time saying maybe, compromise is not for simpler minds
so go and organize your hateful rallies, while the poor and i will do our grind
make sure that there’s a gun in every household and a leather bound in every room
acting like you’re still some sort savior even though you’ve brought nothing but doom

let’s go to london – grab your dancing shoes
a silent rebellion ‘cause we see through
let’s go to london – don’t be scared
the bridge isn’t falling, mama, it’s all in your head

1,2, 3 – this bridge is falling down

you’re views are swinging like a boxer that is losing
you can raise the polls just start a war
find a bleeding heart now of your choosing
put him on a bulls eye on your wall
aren’t you just a little rockstar
look at all your groupies firing rounds
all i’m seeing is some monsters
disguised as tv stars

1,2,3 – this bridge is falling
tried to cross it all our lives
1,2,3 – this bridge is falling down

London

Lyrics:

i’m finally getting used to me, i’m finally getting used to me
don’t tell me it’s too late
the genetic lottery – doesn’t really bother me as long as i’m drinking

you said life is more than making an entrance
then why did you just stumble through your nights

tell me it skips a generation

shaking in your easy chair, you never sat me on your lap and told me a story
you decimated mother’s smile, charming all the rank and file to think that you’re alright

you said life is more than making an entrance
then why did you just stumble through your nights

someone tell me

tell me it skips a generation
tell me it skips a generation
well, i see my tendencies – I swear to god they scare me
and i won’t follow you down

and under these sunken eyes, i’m quite aware 
that a conversations pricy but the drinks come for me cheap
and under these jaded eyes, i’m still aware
that my father’s love was clumsy and the drinks covered his grief


Generation

Lyrics:

billy’s got the drugs for me
he’s the tambourine man, he’s a walking pharmacy
he doesn’t have apologies
he’s got the uppers and the downers and the methamphetamines 
he just wants to entertain you
he can see the world is bringing you down
he just wants to entertain you
cause it doesn’t really matter when your six feet into the ground

Billy the Entertainer

Off of "Go Fun Yourself", recorded and produced by Jeremy Galanes

Lyrics:


i said goodbye to me, all my possibilities, to my best friends

is it that time again – to hop into the van with friends and play pretend
i don’t think i have a choice – the daily grind at home will make me lose my voice

again, again, I fall into this trap i’m falling in – i’m in
every body warned me

we said goodbye to dreams – all our possibilities – to our best friends
we dodged landmines, got high, advertised our every crime in this spotlight

all my friends are growing up, on the fence between just good and good enough
extinguishing this fire burns, i’m translucent all your faces show concern

again, again – i fall into this trap, i’m falling in – i’m in
silence makes me hate me

i’m having trouble sleeping lately – i’m afraid i’ll wake up out here alone
it’s even harder seeing your flaws here clearly when you measure up to a stone

share this spotlight with my best friends


Partners in Crime

Off of "Go Fun Yourself", recorded and produced by Jeremy Galanes

Lyrics:

me, i sleep next to a gun cause you’ll never know when you wanna have some fun
and you, afraid of everyone cause if you never try you can never be outdone

not me, i’m invincible distracted by the world – distracted by the world

the shakes, the shaking of your voice denies my mutiny, leaves me with no choice
cause i’m a slave, a slave to every thought, every thought i fought – i sold out and bought

i tried so hard it turned me to stone
if it wasn’t for you, i’d be sleeping alone
these heart attacks, the chances i’ve blown
if it wasn’t for you, i’d be sleeping alone
and look what you started, look what you started 
i’m weak, i’m weak – i can’t fight this alone
but look what you started, look what you started
i’m weak, i’m weak or am i invincible?


Invincible

Just a song we wrote.  Recorded by Jeremy Galanes

Lyrics:
trust me, i’ll be by your side
these friends are here for the ride
ten months tonight makes it so much easier to lie
and these pills aren’t here for fun
they help, won’t let me come undone
ten months tonight makes it so much easier to lie

and if i could count the hours spent alone in shady bars
annie, this town is far from perfect – the lights pollute the stars
and the sky is getting darker and so are my beliefs
annie, this town is far from perfect – don’t ever think you’re free until we scream

don’t you fight – the pattern has been spun
lay still, don’t even try to run
months and months of medication – mental masturbation
guaranteed to bleed your soul of what it takes to feel

i told myself i’d wind up dead but never in the middle
i’d hide myself and be alone than let you solve my riddle
the starlight used to be enough to feel alive under artificial light

can we burn out the lights?

annie will sleep while i drown my defeat
it’s the last call for me, it’s the last chance to scream

if i could count the hours spent alone in shady bars
annie, this town is far from perfect the light pollute the stars
and these fucked up interventions that just darken my beliefs
annie, this town is far from perfect don’t ever think you’re free

annie will sleep
while i drown in defeat 

Light Pollution

Just a song we wrote.   Recorded by Jeremy Galanes

Lyrics:
starting to stumble, it’s time to leave
before i say something honest and piss off this scene
then no one’s gonna like me – no one’ll go to my shows
my wife’s gonna leave me – i’ll have money to blow
on blow
yeah, i’ll say it i’m too cool for this stage
i got a million fucking bills that i’ve already paid

look at you all in love with yourself but life didn’t work out the way that you wanted, did it?

there are no victims ‘round here
there ain’t no peace on this sphere
i will admit it, i did this all to myself
there are no victims ‘round here

i’m sick and tired of these industry dicks
throw this to the wall and see if it sticks

look at me all in love with myself but life didn’t work out the way that i wanted

Our follow up to "Go Fun Yourself" is finally here. All of us in the Super Happy Fun Club spent a long time producing and recording this record ourselves in a basement apartment. Over the last year of making "All Funned Up," so much has happened to us all... We have toured Europe with our great friends Madina Lake. We have mourned the loss of friends close to us. Some of us lost our jobs - maxed out our credit cards. Others kept up the corporate gig, working the 9-5 in dead-end jobs. There were breakups, beat-downs, divorce, drugs, alcohol, and so on... And everything that happened help lead us to this moment today. We've tried to capture what we have all experienced over the last year on this record and share it with you. This record isn't perfect... but neither are we. I just hope you enjoy sharing this experience with us! "All Funned Up" is on sale worldwide today...

The Super Happy Fun Club. Buy this bands CD, and your friends will finally like you. Members of the opposite sex will find you attractive. And we will stop talking crap about you behind your back...maybe
