lyrics

up from the ranks of little girls, you flew into the world looking for your life. you couldn’t get it right. we said some pretty crazy things. we found a song to sing. on the bed where love became a lie, too late for the sky. we won the battle and the war, but what we fought them for disappeared before our eyes, no matter how we tried. we talk like angels in the night, feeling like a bullet train on fire. to fall at all, you really have to fly - a bullet train won’t take you to the sky. one thing your mother never said is how she feels so dead; she gave you life to get it right. a love above is waiting for the ones who know just who we are. we’re gonna meet our stars.

The Scrimshanders Boston, Massachusetts

The Scrimshanders came out of Jamaica Plain, MA in 1998. John Magee, Tom Baker, Jamie Griffith and Kevin Scollan grabbed a case or two of Buds and a bag of songs one night; the rest is history. Ace pedal steelman Tim Obetz lent a regular hand. Joby DeCoster took over from Scollan on drums in the early going, and "Longneck" was born.

It took 9 years for the followup to appear. Will there be more? ... more
