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:

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down
They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

Their children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em (leavin’ it all behind)
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

The Way - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo (Fastball Cover)

Lyrics:

I’ve reached a breaking point I crossed that see through line, one day I’ll shift a rhythm, leave my old life idly by, I want a simple way of comfort, what to do, where I make something not for me, but not for you

I’ve started to ask the question how, to be un homme fatal,
Leading a normal life can wait, I want to celebrate success
I’ve been holding back a mood, this stubborn attitude
Leading a normal life can wait, I want to know my fate is great

Just tell me how to be,
Un Homme fatal,
Just tell me how to be,
Make me one now

There’s to many girls, who look like me and don’t talk like me, we’re all just things to each other but we care what each other thing(k)s, but none are right for me I fear I know this now, I want to wash away the guilt and be un homme fatal

I’ve started to ask the question how, to be un homme fatal,
Leading a normal life can wait, I want to celebrate success
I’ve been holding back a mood, this stubborn attitude
Leading a normal life can wait, I want to know my fate is great

Just tell he how to be,
Un homme fatal,
Just tell me how to be,
Make me one now,
Just make the most of me,
How I’m supposed to be, 
Just make the most of me,
Make me one now

Homme Fatal - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Lyrics:

By now it’s just a pain I have to deal with
How all the things I like are strapped down takin’ licks

Feels like my internal pickups are microphonic, feedback’s got a strong kick
It’s either I lie too much, or I’m too honest

When people gather round for talking
I still find some way to get my two cents in

Yet sometimes I can’t help but feel forgotten, and that I’m so rotten
Wasting time I’ve been allotted
And when I say things other people would say, it somehow never goes my way
The side I’m on always loses cause I’m on it
The side I’m on always loses cause I’m on it
Woo, yaeh!

And I keep waiting for big things
Ignoring small stones for stepping
I need to practice sticking to it
It’s just not true that I’m the losing kind, I’m further ahead than I ever was behind
The side I’m on doesn’t lose, I just decide to quit
The side I’m on doesn’t lose, I just decide to quit
The side I’m on doesn’t lose, I just decide to quit

Losing Side - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Lyrics:

Hello, I wanna call you on the telephone, we’ll talk all night, I’ll make you feel alright.

Oh I know,
I’ll give you my number, we’ll hide from the thunder, we’ll be like we used to be…

I don’t need to ask for answers I just need to talk to you, 
Answers come from worn out pleasures, I just need you to pull me through...

Ohohoh,
I know what I did, I can’t undo it, and I can’t forget…

Your sweet touch,
I love you very much, I know how it made you feel, 
I know our love was real...

I don’t need to ask for answers I just need to talk to you.
Answers come from worn out pleasures, I just need you to pull me through...

Ohohoh,
What do I do? I need to talk to you, 
I need to see this through

Worn Out Pleasures - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Lyrics:

Well, it don’t take a lot to know me, my point is clear to view.
The constellations show me, what I am to do 

And when the forecast’s got me down, ooh, 
the ladle’l pierce right through the clouds

Cause if I can take to Ursa Major, 
to relay my every favor, 
tear apart the constant wagers, 
push away the compensator

From those who came before me, this lifestyle lies in truth.
There’s also ones who’ve told me, not to trust you

And when the forecast’s got me down, ooh, 
the ladle’l pierce right through the clouds

Cause if I can take to Ursa Major, 
to relay my every favor, 
tear apart the constant wagers, 
push away the compensator

The shining stars are out about,
The soupy sky gets stirred around

And when the forecast’s got me down, ooh, 
the ladle’l pierce right through the clouds

And if I can take to Ursa Major, 
to relay my every favor, 
tear apart the constant wagers, 
push away the compensator

Ursa Major - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Lyrics:

Oohs

Hey babe let me tell you something,
This something ain’t come from nothing,
Cause I’m always there for you,
And you’re here for me too.
If you ever get that sinking feeling,
Cold sweat, and it sends you reeling,
Just know that as danger grows
You can trust me with your life

That sinking feeling, built to restrict your thinking, 
but what you can’t do you is let through the lies

Please tell me that now you see it
So stunning I can’t believe it
So shockingly beautiful as you look in to the mirror

Please tell me you see much clearer,
Please hold out your left ring finger,
Now we’re ready to take the step-ity
On our pathway home
If you ever get that sinking feeling,
Cold sweat, and it sends you reeling,
Just know that as danger grows
You can trust me with your life

That sinking feeling, built to negate your healing, through all the changes the end is in disguise

Recorded by Ace Howell.
Lyrics and Vocal Performances by Lucas Miller (Squirrely B), and Ace Howell.
Majority of mixing by Sam Reynolds. Partially mixed by Ace Howell.

Lyrics:
Hey... Well nothing's really coming through here. Check, check-
It's ok you got it! Yeah yeayeh.
Um, ok it looks like- 
Yah we got it-
Ok you're good. Rolling.
We're good, we're good. (Squirrely B take one)

Rrrat! Da, da, uh! - ACTION
Uh, you think you know me? Hol' up, just wait and see
It's "The Man" Ace Howell, and that big boy Squirrely B
Aye just take a seat now, and let me stick to my strings

We got some good artists still singing karaoke? I'm tryna make some waves but they sayin' they don't know me- that's the thing about the word, not everyone's your homie, you think they rootin' for you, but they fakin' that's baloney!
You think you got your rhythm, you're oblivious, if only! You've got your head down, now you thinkin' you all focused, well better look now 'cause so far you ain't noticed- that's BOGUS. Come on man!

Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings...

I'm not a poser, a hoser, a loser "pick and chooser"- how 'bout you, sir? You wanna fight? I'm a diffuser. It's hard to take in all the happenings, s-so I might as well just stick to my drums and my strings.

Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings
Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings
Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings
Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings
Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings
Build it and they will come, you see? If I stick to my strings
UHH (AOWW)!

LYRICS (Not Including Spoken Dialogue Section):

Work here I despise
Only, this Disembodied Guise won’t let me
wipe the tears I’ve cried, folding
the forks up with the knives
Setting sun shows me the cutlery has won
So I guess now I get what I asked for

Morning come, 
I’ve played and had my fun
My hands are numb,
Last night I could hardly keep up
Disembodied Guise lead me,
to where I’m supposed to
Be, be be my effigy, and make me happy

And when it comes the time to pay me
I think they’d rather just replace me

Disembodied Guise

Nothing comes to easy, nothing smooth to ease me, people see right through me, I’m a book that nobody's reading. I wish I could see the words on that page

To get is to have, but you haven’t got to listen, no no
Live a life so drab, it’s the chance that you are missing, to see our vision woah

Taking walks outside to get inspired by the sunshine
See a flock of doves avoiding the nets on a grapevine 
Maybe I’ll drink wine and see an old friend of mine

To get is to have, but you haven’t got to listen, no no
Live a life so drab, it’s the chance that you are missing, to see our vision woah

History’s an eyesore his story has much more, he couldn’t change his past, but he could’ve changed his path, change what’s meant to be, find company, and forget this vanity

Chance You're Missing
