lyrics

all around town the rain’s coming down, and i’m falling out of love with you. who are you to be playing so tough? you’ve been around; you know you’re not good enough. first came tom, and then came tim, and then came someone else - you never loved him. then came me; I thought i was the best, but not good enough – at least not yet. next time you meet someone, think hard: you might end up with a broken heart. why not go with the devil you know? it’s about time you say so what about these things that seem a little hard (my terrible shoes, my mixed up heart). there will be guys that would be glad to treat you bad, to make you sad. we’re all a little rough – even I say so. why not go with the devil you know? first things first and last things last, and then we’ll get down to it. i’ll be waiting at the end of your past. it won’t be long – i love a girl who learns so fast.

about

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?
