Bada bing bada boom, when you come too soon
suffer for your art, gotta do your part
If I die on this hill then do what you will
use your precious voice, like you have a choice
cuz you don't, you don't
you don't get to choose if you win or lose
but you should tie your shoes
It's a plan of attack, when you turn your back
everything you lack tied up in a sack
you can take it around, drive all over town
show 'em high and low, never find a foe you can fight
alright
deadly is the night
I hope to God you're right
hope is a light
And the less that you say the better is your day
I just wanna play and then go away
cuz I'm trying too hard, reaching for the stars
getting to the yard
always feelin far away

Everybody

I've been missing you & I don't know why
Heard you're getting married to a pretty good guy
I got some letters to remind me I was loved
But if I read 'em I would wanna give up
Had a dream last night you were in concrete
Half of you buried and half trying to get free
You cried & screamed & writhed & I tried to help you
Some other guy was lookin' at us too
You've been buying flowers only fake ones are cheap
You've invited everybody but you haven't called me
I've been climbing towers only tall ones for me
So I can look down on everybody
I got depressed & started doing lots of drugs
Everybody told me I should grow the fuck up
I didn't listen I just grew out my hair
I went from being sad to being really scared
Love is the dumbest thing I've ever tried to do
But nothing's dumber than trying to love you
You've got a good life now, you're out there on your own
Guess I can't help it, so I'll leave it alone
You've been buying flowers only fake ones are cheap
You've invited everybody but you haven't called me
I've been climbing towers only tall ones for me
So I can look down on everybody

Ex-Tra Natural EP
by Ex-Rippers
Feel good post-punk that's casual and pulled together at the same time. The vocals are a highlight.
go to album
Terrifically ragged rock & roll that recalls solo Paul Westerberg in its big melodic hooks and swaggering guitars.
