"The Break Up Song"

"The Break Up Song" - 01/03/06 05:12 AM



We had broken up for good just an hour before,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.


And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets you down.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.


They don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.




We'd been living together for a million years,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah


And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

They don't write 'em like that anymore.
They don't write 'em like that anymore.




Mmmm, now ?
I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.


Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

She dumped George Thorogood for Tom Hulce (with Tom Jones' hair).

I can't stand it any more...same prick that wrote "Our love's in jeopardy...baby...oooooooo o ooo ooooooooooooo."

Not to be confused with Greg Ginn, guitarist for Black Flag

How about "Beach Blanket Bongout" by the greatest punk bank to come out of Phoenix, Jodie Foster's Army:

Party on the sand
Bring your van
Tan girls, macho fools
Fun

Punk outing, people shouting
Lots of fun
Drugs and sun
Fun

Beach blanket bongout
Bong out oh oh

The hippies, they hate us
We take their chicks
They beat us up
But they're still the dicks
Dicks!

Surf punks we're not
Skateboard we do
We have the fun
We're the new crew
Crew

Beach blanket bongout
Bong out oh oh

We're having the fun
Wasted in the sun
Purple boards, short hair
We're out numbered and we don't care!


I still have cassette tape of this from Jonathan L's Surf & Thrash Special on KUPD in 1989. Remember that show Floof, Random? It also had Assassin, Channel 3, D.O.A., The Jesus and Mary Chain, Davey Allen & The Arrows, Agent Orange, RHCP, The Ventures, The Dead Milkmen...great show.

I hope Luke and Holly continue their relationship. She is bringing out the best writing of his in awhile. Its full of emotions ranging from betrayal, happiness, rage and jealousy. At 39, Luke has been around the block a time or two but Holly seems to toy with him like a teenager. No matter whom Holly ends up with in life, I think she will always be the one wearing the pants in the relationship.

Chaim is hillarious.

Luke, its not over til the Katja sings

She's been a wonderful muse. Never met a woman like her as far as her giving me room to write what I like (whenever she asks me to take something down, I do, but she never abuses this privilege), our easy conversation, her sense of humor. She never asked me to change. It was a good ride. Now I'm off riding fences, Desperado.

I didnt realize there were so many old school punk/hardcore enthusiasts on here...this makes me feel right at home.

Yes I did. Do you have a better term for it? If so enlighten me.
On second glance the dude looks more polenesian. As if it really matters.

Stop, you're killing me and making my memory bank go into overload. I used to fucking LOVE JFA. My old punk band (like from 13 years ago) used to cover "Out of School". Too bad I sold my punk record collection, you're making me want to listen to them all again.

Because I'm a much better poster than you, Burglar is better than I, james is better than Burglar, Arab, Bishop and Monkey are on some other plane of ability.

You're somewhere down in jizz-mopper status. It's just the way things are.

I got a big muscle up my sleeve that's what I got. Why do you insist that I am an agent. I'm not, but maybe one day. Just maybe.
