lyrics

there’s a blinking sign in houston: it says you won’t find sleep for miles. but in the mirror at night, you can read it right; it says that sleep is not your style. on the road out of the city, there’s a turn that you can’t miss to a cold and dark amusement park where you gave me my first kiss. it’s a turn that you can’t miss. when you tried to reach me your signals got all crossed, and when the tears fall down your hardest face they make you look so soft. you’re a lazy kind of sinner, like a lover leading on to the point where no-one knows who goes, and who will not be gone. it’s a kind of architecture; it’s not a school of thought. it gets you less to take a guess than to build up what you’re not; it’s not a school of thought. and when you tried to hurt me, your signals got all crossed, and when the tears fall down your hardest face they make you look so soft. she’s so safe, she’s all alone, she’s waiting by the telephone.

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
