lyrics

ten seventeen oh two at 8 am
I was a little too awake
I’d banged my head against her wall again
but her foundation wouldn’t break
an ashtray buried under cigarettes
tomato sauce encrusted bowl
no more sweet music on my stereo
no more sweet music in my soul

the darkness will destroy you if you let it
and I’m just glad that I lived to regret it
so “sorry” if I ain’t already said it
there’ll be no repeat performance

ten seventeen oh two at 9 am
the world was just a bit too grey
so many ears I could have spoken to
but I had nothing left to say
a lone bare bulb that strained to cut the gloom
a bottle of my baby’s wine
sat waiting for a glimpse of something good
sat waiting for some kind of sign

the darkness will destroy you if you let it
and I’m just glad that I lived to regret it
so “sorry” if I ain’t already said it
there’ll be no repeat performance

ten seventeen oh two at 10 am
I was a little too alive
drove off to buy myself a remedy
a cure I hoped not to survive
cold sheets, cold blanket and a freezing bed
blinds drawn to keep the morning out
deliver me from all my failures, Lord
deliver me from all my doubt

the darkness will destroy you if you let it
and I’m just glad that I lived to regret it
so “sorry” if I ain’t already said it
there’ll be no repeat performance

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
