We are a band from Fayetteville, AR that has a different mission than most bands. We aren’t looking to get a record deal and make it big, we just want to put on entertaining shows whether there are 8 people or 800 people there.
We formed as a ska band in February of 2007 and have branched into some funk, rock, jazz, punk, and more, in addition to ska.
Pool Hall—Everyone knows when we walk into the pool hall. The tables are swarmed with their eyes on the 9-ball. The cue is chalked up and the rack is in its place. It’s time to find out who will win in the next race. A beer or two from Mike will start us the right way. A full pack of smokes makes tomorrow a bad day. My throat will hurt too much but we had a good time. My tab should be huge but he only charged me five.
No we are not that good. We only thought we could. I know you’d like to see. All of you will probably beat me.
It’s time to leave the night is winding to a close. It did not turn bad like the time Shane broke his nose. Tony is cleaning up it looks like he’s thinking. He wants to lock up so that he can start drinking. When we first started we were not that good. We studied the angles as everyone should. Things did not improve but we never leave. Now we’re your average pool hall junkies.
Shirt Majority—At every show you play the same bad songs we always hate. You disappoint me. We hear as you play songs that make no sense and don’t know what, you are trying to be.
The crowd dies, the time has come. It’s time to walk outside and have a smoke. That’s what you do when the next band, is never thought of with respect.
They’re no more than a joke. You spend your money advertising shows you’ll never play, just to hear your name. Recording the music that is gone no one will ever hear. A band without a face.
You have no talent, I have noticed it, we are sick of it, they don’t really like you.
Don’t Know Any Better—She is the girl that we all know. You kinda like but you mostly hate. Sitting there telling boring stories all night long. Phony smile on my face.
I like you. But only certain times. When I drink. Because I get too hammered. Late night calls. I don’t know any better. You, were a mistake. Every time you walk away from me its all right. I know its just another way of being uptight. You can talk about your life until tomorrow. Expecting us to listen to your sorrows.
One thing I’ve come to realize when I hear someone talk so fast, they are used to no one listening to them so they start talking out of their ass.
This tragedy should end. I should have known that when it began. My time was wasted, give my life to me again. Your time is running out. I should have known you would never amount, to anything but finding no one.
So Outdated—You were a good person, my best friend, what went wrong. We went to church everyday but now you live far away. I heard you got into drugs. How many did you take?
Why did you, why did you go throw your life down the drain? Its okay, its okay you really cannot complain. Could be worse, yes it could, your life it still could be saved. You made mistakes in the past but that is so outdated.
Hey do you remember, saw you last November. You almost gave up your life when you got into that fight. We came to be by your side, prayed with you every night. For years we were like brothers, for years you’ve gone away. I will not ever know what you have become today.
Gig Night—I see you from on stage, your eyes are glued on me and mine on you. I think we may have something special, do you think that this is true?
Hey, you, looking at me. I have everything you need. Please, don’t put up a fight. We are single on gig night.
You are not good at leaving signs out there so I know what to do. Well, should I split or is there any chance that I can be with you? What should we do? Lets see this though. I know you want me cause you know I’m gonna get paid. From this point on, I’ll sing this song. This song of hate for you and everybody like you. Maybe you’re not worth it, plenty more than you to choose from. Don’t waste my time you have no clue what I am made of. Really doesn’t matter when we both know it won’t last long. Its just tonight because tomorrow we will get caught.
Long Shot—How am I supposed to go to class today? 20 drinks from last night are in the way. My head’s splitting so I’ll just sleep in. I don’t know what I really want to be. Now I’m sure I really can’t stand my degree. I changed my major twice now I hate school.
It’s a long shot and as hard as I’ve fought, it’s been a long and I’m getting so near. Gotta fight through, I’m not doing this for you. Its one of my goals and I’m seeing so clear.
How am I supposed to go to work today? Too much homework after class is on my plate. I feel I’m drowning so I’ll call in sick. Why can’t everything in life come easily? I need money for food, but nothing’s free. Work and school will be the end of me.
Frat Party—Walking around the frat party, everyone has a drink but me. All I want is to find a beer. Why did that guy just call me a queer? Where did they hide it, where did it go? I’m the only one that does not know. I don’t want much, I just want a bit. This frat is full of it.
I don’t want to get wasted. Only inebriated. Find me cigarette. Spilled a beer, now I’m wet. I want a drink, what do you think? This party stinks.
I finally found a drink for me. I took it from a guy who was taking a pee. It really sucks because its naddy light. I think that guy caught me cause he’s wanting to fight. He grabbed my arm as I was walking away, he said to give it back if I wanted to stay. I turned to run off but I just fell in the dirt. I spilled that beer all over my shirt. Lets just settle this here, we can all grab a beer. There is no need to fight, lets all have a good night. Don’t get in my way, I’m not in your face. You do not like me, now that is plain to see. Why can’t we get along? I don’t care who was wrong. Lets all have a drink now, if you lay your guard down. I am sick of you, now what will I do, get myself out here.
Bio—I can’t get water in my ear, I would not be able to hear. Chris breaks his hand with every fall, the cause is always alcohol. Scott likes girls that are 17, his pickle power shirt is green. Chase thinks that he is really cool cause he likes to shoot lots of pool.
One guy on stage, he has a crusty beard and he gauges his ears. We point him out for free, the one and only Cherokee. Charles will never stare because he’s lost behind his hair. So our new goal must be, keep Dirk from smoking so much weed.
Just Another Page—On a date, (On a date!) with a girl I met last night. She saw me playing with my band. She told me, (She told me!) write a song for me tonight, I’ll always be your biggest fan.
That is a problem though, I do not write just to flirt. I write songs to my X’s, I intend for the to hurt. Hey! Don’t ask me to write songs for you. You won’t want them to know the truth. I caught your eye cause I’m on stage. In my life you’re just another page.
Listen up, (Listen up!) we do not want you to come with us when we go out on tour. This is why, (This is why!) we won’t talk to you tonight, of this one thing we are so sure.
My Apology—I cannot watch you give away your life. Looking into your eyes I knew this day would make me cry.
When we were kids you fell and you scraped your knee. I said you’d be the only girl for me, that’s my apology.
I missed you every day since I moved. My love for you is strong but what was I supposed to do. Thought you would always be there but now this is hell. Goodbye, so long, its my final farewell.
Bring Back Re-Rack—Fill those cups up with beer, set them up like bowling pins. That shot was interfered, if I shoot one more I will sink it in. What are the rules anyway, at every house they change. Do we rebuttle the shot made or is that game.
Beer pong.
I bounced that one in now you take two off the board. If we make another shot we get a bring back and shoot some more. With six or three cups left a re-rack will be called. If we win with eight cups left do we drink them all?
Just A Girl—In ’93 our lives, they came together. Do you remember when we met? In ’96 I asked you to be my girl, one year until I left.
Looks like we’re going backwards. If we could learn to listen.
In ’97 we broke up when I moved. I missed you every single day. 2002 we went to prom together, last time I saw your face.
Every morning last, but you won’t give me a chance to tell you. Days don’t go by fast when I’m unable to say ‘I love you.’
Not Talented—We are not talented like you expected to see, and why use seven when you can use three. We’re overstaffed but we like it that way, also ugly, that’s okay. If you can play a horn you can join. Initiation is a kick in the groin. I know you want to stand next to me, not to mention, we drink for free.
This time will you come see us play. Our gigs, they do not happen every day. Times like this, when the crowds in my face. Its all right, people stare anyway.
Ladies don’t like the brass, they only like the guitar, and no good reason except he’s a star. I should remind you we work out a lot. Strong lips and tongues is what we’ve got. Yes, we try to sway you throughout our show and maybe to our apartment you’ll go. Then the party will really start, probably date, then break apart.
Best of the Worst—One day, way back when, things were good because we were together then. Turns out things change fast. I should have known that good things just never last.
All that love really means is ‘I like you now, hate you later.’ She said she loved me but its not forever, I hate her.
Knock on my door ‘til 5 a.m. or until you’ve had your fill. Don’t know what to do as I’m waiting for the cops to get you. I just wish you’d leave me alone, you leave me nowhere to go. Thought we’d be married some day, but you’re the one to blame. Lauren just go away, I think your boyfriend’s gay, Lauren just go away from…
Love you guys!! can't wait to see you again!! you guys should try to get in on Dfest!! Its one of my top friends go check it out!! and no I'm not one of them lol I just go every year and would love to have your taste there as an addition!!!
Gig Night---I think this is appropriate. You guys were awesome last night. Did you catch the fight? That guy who got thrown out got f*d up!!! It was pretty funny. See you again soon!!
OMG!!!! You guys are sooo hot! We should merge as "Getting Into A Good Fight While We Hustle The Hall"!!! Genius! But I will require 95% profit from all new member orgy registrations.
You guys rocked Fort Smith last night!!! I really liked the song about the venue who didn't tell the band to bring a PA and then they cancelled the gig and decided it was way more fun just to shoot pool ...that was my favorite...keep up the good work!!!
