These moments that we’ve seen could never be esteemed We all show up for the mess But it was nice being ‘round when I had a stake in this town I’ve changed, you’ve changed, I guess And it’ll be alright, yeah we’ll keep staying up at night I think it’s for the best Cause baby I’ve been yours since you came knocking at my door Amends I can’t express Oh yes

Drive me short man, it’s a Saturday night, I’ve got a thirst for music and I’m feeling right I’m gonna grab the keys to my Subaru, you’ve got a cure for feeling blue So long pops it’s time to hear the radio, driving around with my diet coke Drive me short man, drive me all over town I wonder what’ll be on this week’s show, I can’t wait to see where I’m gonna go From Marshall to Wingra to Olin-Turville, I know you’ve got a setlist that’s gonna kill There’ll probably be The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, The Shangri-Las or The Ramones Drive me short man, drive me all over town You’ve got the tunes that I seek, not to mention the Freak of the Week Drive me short man, drive me all over town You got me dancing like I really should, got me singing real loud in my neighborhood The garage rock, the girl groups, and the punks, they all make me wanna scream and jump Playing the coolest records in sight, no way I’d rather spend my Saturday night Drive me short man, drive me all over town (dedicated to Little Steve Van Zandt)

But I Knew 02:14
Lord you know my life, is a sin Built on what I know is true Built on years and years of things that I didn’t do That I didn’t choose But they define what’s truth and lie and most of all What I go through Yeah all my passion is pointless The rest matters so much more You can’t ever hope to connect we’re both too busy keeping score I shouldn’t be here regardless, of whether I know what is wrong I won’t treat myself with respect when sacrilege keeps me marching on

I wanna learn to dance, to sweep you off your feet Take a look at that confident man and make him see I wanna learn to dance, to set myself free Listen to what you say and know that it’s not me I want something to break, to give away to the beat Demolish my foundations and set my feelings free I want something to break, to not have to try To open up the clouds and just let myself cry I wanna learn to dance, to get up off the floor Go about my life like I’m not anxious anymore I wanna learn to dance, I wanna learn to be me Stop thinking about my sight and just go out there and see I wanna learn to dance, I wanna learn to be me Fill day after day with L - U - V

Close 00:47
It was like it is now The things we’d say To feel good about Where we lay down at night It’s not old, but you know it can’t be right Do as I’m told Stay out of sight
8.
Getting up out of bed You can at least go to it Your friends will be there and care about The things you just went through Hanging out at the back Old faces I hadn’t seen When you had felt it, I didn’t know Just what it would mean to you
9.
Got told about it, it just brought me chills Pounce on him now but don’t go for the kill Tried so hard but I can’t distill The purpose of it, nobody will Spent all this time knowing just how it feels No way, no how that this can be for real I think it’s a catch yeah, I think it’s a steal Will I know if I’ve ever really been healed Sits in his room at the end of the day Thinking so long about what to say And how to do it in the very worst way I bet he thinks that he’s really brave
10.
Attention class return to the facts, put your fake books on shelves We’re going back to the days through this linen haze to when we did things for ourselves You’ll never be alone, it’s been shown, you’ll surely see Why now? I don’t know! Put your hands on the radio, baby yes. Sweep the floors, turn up the tunes The things we need for our lives are in those runes And for sure, at the surface, it may seem nothing But if you look underneath it all, we’re always up to something
