about

Rock and roll played in a basement practice room for all those years led to great memories, as well as tinnitus. A fair payoff.

lyrics

WE’RE MEETING AT CHARLIE’S HOUSE TONIGHT                 
CAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE DRUM KIT IS
I HAVE TO WEAR EAR PLUGS NOW
CAUSE WE’RE WAY TOO LOUD, WAY TOO LOUD

WE STARTED OUT 40 YEARS AGO 
GETTING TOGETHER WHENEVER WE COULD
WE MOSTLY DO COVERS NOW CAUSE OUR ORIGINALS
WELL THEY WEREN’T THAT GOOD

HEY, WE’RE KILLING THE BEATLES
FLOCK OF SEAGULLS, CREDENCE AND CREAM 

YA WE’LL THROW IN SOME BEACH BOYS
JUST GIVE ME THE BEAT BOYS
WE’RE LIVING THE DREAM

WE THOUGHT WE’D BE FAMOUS WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
WE FOLLOWED THE CALL
FIRST WE WERE THE GOLDEN BLOBS
THEN THE ORANGE PEELS THEN THE EFFETE SNOBS

SOMETIMES OUR KIDS COME BY
AND SOMETIMES MY WIFE WILL SIT IN ON GUITAR
THE BASEMENT’S THE ONLY PLACE WE PLAY
IT’S OUR ONLY GIG SO FAR

HEY, WE’RE KILLING THE BEATLES
THE CURE AND THE EAGLES, CREDENCE AND CREAM

YA WE’LL THROW IN SOME BEACH BOYS
JUST GIVE ME THE BEAT BOYS 
WE’RE LIVING THE DREAM

SOMETIMES I’LL COUNT DOWN TO A SONG IN SPANISH
WE'LL PLAY WOOLY BULLY CAUSE I’M FEELING RATHER SAM THE SHAMISH
CHARLIE HITS RECORD, I PLAY THE E 7th CHORD
AND WE’RE ON OUR WAY ONCE MORE

HEY, WE’RE ALL GETTING OLDER
NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER WE’LL BE ABLE TO PLAY
YEAH, THERE’S  SOME PAIN IN MY SHOULDER
BUT WE GOT ONE MORE SONG BEFORE WE CALL IT A DAY

HEY, WE’RE KILLING THE BEATLES
FLOCK OF SEAGULLS, CREDENCE AND CREAM 

YA WE’LL THROW IN SOME BEACH BOYS
JUST GIVE ME THE BEAT BOYS
WE’RE LIVING THE DREAM

YA, WE'RE LIVING THE DREAM
