lyrics

Well, look who it is,
put the room in a tiz
haven't seen much of you, lately

It's been ages, I think,
since you stopped for a drink
and now you come here all sober and stately

We used to be friends,
then you went on a cleanse
Please excuse if we sound a bit bitter

But it's a fickle old club,
thin-skinned towards a snub,
and nobody likes a quitter

So you had a bad spell
went halfway to hell
but, oh, how you put up a fuss
Did the needles and tubes they had to use
make you think that you're better than us?

Did it open your eyes to realize
they'll flush your life's blood
down the shitter

Well, I've got news for you, bub,
we're all in the same club,
and nobody likes a quitter

Yeah, the lines have been drawn
so get yourself gone,
'cause nobody likes a quitter.

These songs are the kind of gems that rarely come about for anyone without a long practice of songwriting. The language of the lyrics is always original, connecting commonly felt things in new ways. The music, delivery, and band are perfect vehicles for these wonderful songs. pdxshinn
