Keasbey Nights

[Chorus]

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like the rain to end

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet

[Verse 1]

Went to the corner of second and main

And there was someone there who mentioned that they hoped

That it would rain forever, forever

So they could drown in peace

(Well I) Went down to the hodskin p.l

But there was nobody to answer when I rang

The doorbell forever, forever

So now I'm sad all the time

[Chorus]

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like the rain to end

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet

[Verse 2]

Today was the day

But she threw it all away

And I could never understand

Cause she was never one to play by the rules of the game

Her and me we're so the same

(And I) I try so hard and I never give in

And I am never satisfied until the day that I win against them

But I don't care

I'll follow her to anywhere

(But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere-

Don't stop cause you might get dropped)

[Chorus]

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like the rain to end

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like the rain to end

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet

[Extended Chorus]

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like the rain to end

Sick and sad again

Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet

Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet

[Intro]

(hup, hup, hup)

[Verse 1]

Well, hello, how are you, won't you pull up a chair

Why don't you tell me a story cause I really do care about

Talking, talking, talking away

Here's to me, to you, to us

To everything hope it never falls apart

And we're talking, talking, talking away

[Verse 2]

Well you look so fine, and you seem so kind

And I gotta say that I'm having a good time

Dancing, dancing, dancing away

Here's, to me, to you, to us

To everything I hope it never falls apart

And we're dancing, dancing, dancing away

(hup, hup, hup)

[Bridge]

Could things get any better now?

If they can, I cannot see how

But as the time goes by, you stop and sigh

You stop and sigh and then you wonder why

[Verse 3]

I can't stop the feelin' as I'm walkin' away

And I can never understand half the things you say

And we're walking, walking, walking away

So I said here's to me, to you, to us

To everything before it fell apart

And were walking, walking, walking away

[Bridge]

Things weren't better then

You felt that you had to pretend

But as time goes by

You stop and sigh

You stop and sigh and then you wonder why

6 ContributorsGiving Up Giving In LyricsI got no cash, got no girl, got the world in the palm of my hand

I don't care if you care, or if you understand

Cause I'm a little kid and I've got little problems, yeah

And I don't give a shit if you don't even understand

I got me (But I got me)

That's all I need (that's all I need)

And I live comfortably (and I live comfortably)

And I sleep peacefully, GO!

I give up, I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna be near

You, your friends, your dime a dozen miseries

I don't care if you care about the way you wear your hair

Your shoes, your idiot attitude

Don't stop 'cause I wanna hear your problems

Don't stop 'cause I wanna help you solve them

Don't stop whatever I might say got a problem

About your day, I'm moving things out the way

I GIVE UP!

I GOT NO CASH!

[Verse 1]

Not long ago in my high school days

I watched a girl from far so away

But every time she passed me by

I turned my head away and quietly sighed

And when she walked by her hair would dance

A secret tango that only I could understand

And when she’d ask me for the time of day

I’d look her in the eyes and quietly say

[Chorus]

Oh Kristina, Kristina

Do you have any clue who I am? (Hell no!)

So listen up cause I’ll tell ya once

And I’ll explain myself the best that I can

Whoa Kristina, Kristina

You don’t know me so ill have to persist

I’m kinda shy so no wonder why

Kristina she don’t know I exist

[Verse 2]

From class to class, I followed her

But I swore I'd leave her undisturbed

And if she’d ever stopped and turned around

I’d get so nervous that I’d stare at the ground

And then one day in photography

I found a contact print that I could not believe

And there she was staring back at me

So I took her home so quietly

[Chorus]

Kristina, Kristina

Do you have any clue who I am? (Hell no!)

So listen up cause I’ll tell ya once

And I’ll explain myself the best that I can

Kristina, Kristina

You don’t know me so I'll have to persist

I’m kinda shy so no wonder why

Kristina she don’t know I exist

[Verse 3]

1.17.98

It's been a day that I’ve come to hate

As I walked into the video store

There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor

Tapping her toe, and waiting in line

With a movie and another guy

Why did I bother, why did I care

About this girl named Kristina Behr?

[Chorus]

Kristina, Kristina, you’ll never get to know who I am (Your loss!)

This is goodbye, so please don’t cry

And I'll let you down as softly as I can

Kristina, Kristina, another name to cross off my list

Another life, it could’ve been nice, but

Kristina she won’t know what she missed

[Verse 1]

She was diagnosed on a Friday

The kids were almost home

The kids were on their way back home from school

Lying face down in the gutter

Of unaccomplished dreams

And broken memories of things to come

"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I hate to break the news

I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due

You know where, I'll tell you when

And I suggest that you start living these next three weeks

The best way that you can."

[Chorus]

Every night for three long weeks

She'd roam the hallways half asleep

And as the footsteps fade away

In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

Don't wait for me, you've got a lot to do, you've got a lot to be

And in the end, maybe I'll see you there

[Verse 2]

Lost her strength on a Saturday

Spent the day in bed

"Yeah, I'm fine, it's just the flu" she said with a smile

But when they turned their backs

The tears would flow

She knew she only had a while, to live

To breathe, to be, to see, to bleed

To stand on her own two weakened feet

"And so I pray everyday: don't take my mother away"

[Chorus]

Every night for three long weeks

She'd roam the hallways half asleep

And as the footsteps fade away

In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

Don't wait for me, you've got a lot to do, you've got a lot to be

And in the end, maybe I'll see you there

[Chorus]

Every night for three long weeks

She'd roam the hallways half asleep

And as the footsteps fade away

In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

Don't wait for me, you've got a lot to do, you've got a lot to be

And in the end, maybe I'll see you there

And in the end, you know I'll see you there

And in the end I'll see you there

[Outro]

Don't wait for me, you've got a lot to do, you've got a lot to be

And in the end, maybe I'll see you there

You're never going to pull it off

You shouldn't even try

You're always second best

They're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves

So you fight for them to realize

There's more to you

There's more than meets the eye

And when you're done, the battle's been won

You sit back, you smile

You're a big boy now, so take responsibility

You never had it hard, well now it's getting tough

So you (whine! whine! whine!) and you say you've had enough

You say I'm full of shit, that I'm a hypocrite

I shouldn't talk when I can't take the advice that I give

Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes:

(Talking)

One: Please describe the experience of making the new album

Making the record was not unlike shipping out peach pits

Two: What took so long to make it?

Did it take long? If so, it's because we're very busy. Bands make almost nothing from record sales, so we were out touring and whoring in order to pay rent. Plus some other reasons but we are keeping quiet

Three: What is the record exactly? As it is called Keasbey Nights but no-one knows yet what the record contains

It's Keasbey Nights. We wanted to get it right for once. Plus it helps me sleep at night knowing blood, sweat, and tears were put into a record as opposed to making people pay thirteen bucks for a record and they only get flashy new cover art. This release is a preemptive strike, I guess. Whatever you want to call it, it'll piss people off, and that, at the end of the day, is all that really matters

This confuses me. Aren't they paying thirteen bucks for a record they already own? Because that is what I thought was happening, sounds like I have it wrong?

Yep, you've got it wrong. If there's one thing I can't stand it's when a CD is re-released untouched sonically, with a new cover and maybe a live video, and kids are duped into buying this new edition of something they already have. I was upset when I was told the guys were going to do this for Keasbey, so I offered to re-record it because I've always thought it sounded like pure garbage sound-wise. Plus the budgets we get are laughable, particularly for a band with seven musicians to record. So we used some of our own money and took our time with this one. I'll tell you right now, we have no intent on hiding our intentions. We wanted to prevent the re-release of Keasbey untouched as well as get the record to sound how it should have sounded originally. For that we sacrificed months of our time and our money, and now we feel what we have is worth paying for. Although, truth be told, I don't care if a single record is sold, as it is indeed old music, and kids have a right to know what it is and to decide whether or not they'll pay for it. Do I think it's worth thirteen dollars? Yes, very much so, but that's my opinion. What other people decide, that's their own opinion. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold

Wow. Okay. First time I have heard it said that this is the same songs. Every time you were asked, you skirt that issue

Whatever you want to call it, we will piss people off. And that, at the end of the day, is all that really matters. As my good friend always says, you are indeed a cassette, and unfortunately you just don't get it

Peace out, bitches
