lyrics

christine was the only girl who ever showed me the top of this lonely world. just short of the taste of love, but on the top of the world it seems enough. and she’s gone, and my heart sinks like a stone, and i feel oh so alone. i’m outside her door, i’m on the phone. christine, come outside – i’ll take you home. some things i didn’t mean – well, you know what they are, don’t you, christine? forget ‘em. they’re gone, they’re past. i want the top of the world to take me back. christine comes back to me – at least she does in one of my little dreams. comes back in the shape of love, but when i slip in her arms the dream is done.

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
