lyrics

I’m sick of singing ‘bout the good old days, I’m
Sick of singing about how we used to sleep together
We’d judge our best friends by the food they ate, we’d
Ride our fixes like we knew we wouldn’t live forever.

I got hit by a car
And now my knee clicks.

We’d talk about it almost every day, we’d
Buy a van so we could crash on couches through our 20s
You’d know the words to every song we play, you’d
Drink too much and then go write on home good with a sharpie.

You jumped in the front yard
It was our birthday.

But we were 22,
And our bodies change
We didn’t want them to,
So I’m trying not to feel betrayed
You broke the word you gave me on that

Summer day
Full of rock and roll
When I heard your bass
Thumping through the floor.

We were the best of friends
At such a lonely age
What good is rock and roll
If you can’t get laid?

I’m sick of ripping off the friends we made
I’m still so jealous of the kids who used to do it better
The nights we spent on Brooklyn fire escapes
The Monday mornings when we couldn’t hold our shit together

The mistakes that we made
So infrequent
You punched me in the face
That time in Cleveland.

But we were 22,
And our lives had to change
We didn’t want them to
So I’m trying not to feel betrayed
You broke the word you gave me on that.

Summer day
And it’s been so long
Since I heard you play
Through my bedroom wall.

We were the best of friends
At such a lonely age
What good is rock and roll
If you can’t get laid?

We looked up to adults, but not really.
We just thought they had it all figured out.

You admitted it once, you don’t need me.
You just liked have people around

So I’m trying not to feel betrayed
You promised me you’d stay.

On that

Summer day
Full of rock and roll
When I heard your bass
Thumping through the floor.

We were the best of friends
At such a lonely age
What good is rock and roll
If you can’t get played?

Those were the summer days
Full of rock and roll
When I heard your bass
Thumping through the floor.

And if I knew then,
What I know today,
What good is rock and roll
If you can’t get famous?

Jacob the Horse met on a Greek island when our daughter tricked us into coming to her wedding in order to figure out which one of us was her real father.

Interest includes: loud guitars, catchy melodic hooks, and cramming as many words into their songs as possible.

They’ve been called “too loud” and “fun, but with depressing lyrics” by friends and enemies alike. ... more
