These Are The Good Times

(Some of these lyrics didn't make it)
It ain’t the middle, It ain’t the end, It’s the beginning all over again and I want to tell you a story, and I don’t want it to end.
the birds are talking, electro shocking, at heavens gate we kept knocking and knocking and you want to tear the walls, and let the devil begin
Here are the good times
Here are the good times
Here are the good times
Here are the good times
Here are the good times
Moments we cherish, shows at the parish, half lying say we carish and sharish, now someone stop this madness, and order a round
it aint the bottom, it aint the top, it is the stretch of the 7th minute in heaven in the closet with a girl at a party from school
sleeping beauty, such a cutie, how do i send such a booty a nudey the farthest thing from a prince, is kissing a frog
take it for granted, can’t understand it, a mugshot banker looking candid a bandit gone and stole his heart away and all the money is gone
I’m a faker, a limp handshaker,
BRIDGE
You want to do the limbo
How low can you go
Don’t throw a low bow
We do the low brow
Get down and go go go,
Cool story bro,
Are you mad bro
you wanna do some blow?
These are the good times.
you hear me talking, you find it shocking, that heavens door keeps on knocking and knocking and I want bust it down, and let the devil in

Watcha doing with my friend my friend?
Are you waiting for the good times to roll on in?
Are you weighing in the work that you put in?
When the liquor and the laugh all start to blend
Watcha doing with my friend, my friend?
This is an interview and I wanna know what you intend?
Are you sliding in the dm's from a friend to a boyfriend?
And I aint trying to screw you round I really care,
it's just the fifth time you've asked is she looking over here. is that weird?
So whatcha doing with my friend my friend?
Cause sitting here talking to me aint what I recommend
if dancing isn't for you well I'd try it again
cause she's standing by the stage it looks like she wants to spin
and I aint gonna jerk your chain, I had to ask
if she's the teacher and I'm the TA I'm a hoping you pass, or my ass
So whatcha doing with my friend my friend?
Cause sitting here talking to me aint what I recommend
if dancing isn't for you well I'd try it again
cause she's standing by the stage it looks like she wants to spin
keep on doing what your doing my friend

Luke Had A Three Way
04:56
|
|||
|
In new york on a friday night, we went down to the baby alright
got some drinks with a friend who celebrated his real job
we met some girls at the bar i wasn’t gonna get really far,
i wasn’t really feeling it but i was trying to play along like a wingman
Luke had a 3 way
It’s more than I can say
at first I thought that he was gay, then he had a three way
we went back to our place, sat on the balcony and looked at her face
we shared a joint and when
I was being a wingman wanting to do a good job
and i get in trouble talking to one person too long sometimes
but i got stoned and then asked too many questions and got rather more interested in their life and lost all sexual drive just looking at a human as a human, but then I could hear you from the room across the wall, it sounded like you were doing a great job,
Luke had a 3 way
It’s more than I can say
at first I thought that he was gay, then he had a three way
How did you do it?
did you slow down time?
did you stop time?
did you do the thing where zach says time out to the camera?
did you do the thing in the movie with bradley cooper in limitless where he takes the NZT pill
and he understands life and he can do everything with 100 percent of his brain all the time?
and all the cool stuff
did you go back to the future?
did you maybe get in a car and press a certain button on a phone that changes your life?
did you go into quantum physics and have different moments of your life
and go back through all the decisions that you made and now and somehow you made this one successful and all that cool kinda stuff?
did you take a viagra or a vicodin or a cognac or some weird drug or something?
or did you take some speed? I don’t know what is it? some secret you learned on the internet?
maybe from some self help book or Q & A’s on the internet maybe some weird forum on some expanded page I don’t even know about.
Luke had a 3 way
It’s more than I can say
at first I thought that he was gay, then he had a three way
you gotta tell me all about although i know you probably wont but I'm still gonna ask
Luke had a 3 way
It’s more than I can say
at first I thought that he was gay, then he had a three way

I'm Not A Rebound
03:41

She’s had a boyfriend for years, and he pulls her away from me just like he should
I heard they were on a break from her friend at work,
If I want a shot I’ve got a two week window
Theyre on and theyre off and and theyre off and theyre on and it’s her night off
and she told me to come over after work
and we can pre game for a big night out
Easy conversations and I’m buying her drinks, few times of tying hands on dirty sixth street,
We’re deep on the dance floor at toulouse sipping goodbye motherfuckers
Then her friend went to the bathroom and then she kissed me good touching and stuff, think I’m getting lucky tonight
Her friends call me a rebound, Her friends call me a rebound,
But I’m not a rebound, I’m not a rebound, I’m not a rebound, I’m a free throw
I’m a three point hook shot, I’m an around the back pass, through the legs Allen Iverson
we get back to her place real late it appears some other fellas heard about an afterparty overtime..
she lives in one of the south austin apartments with dim lit kitchen and symmetrical cookie cutter rooms, come on coach put me in..
she had a piano in her room and that meant I can show off some trick shots like this…
Her friends call me a rebound, Her friends call me a rebound,
But I’m not a rebound, I’m not a rebound, I’m not a rebound, I’m a free throw
I’m a three point hook shot, I’m an around the back pass, through the legs Allen Iverson

I Want To Be Your Man
03:26
|
|||
|
I want to be your man
Golfing with your father, baby pictures with your mother
feeding jello from a spoon to your gran
Cause I want to be your man
I want to be your man,
breaking fire logs, playing frisbee with your dog,
adding brownie points to my trying catalog,
I want to be your man
people talk about the rambling of nightfall
They say it's easy making love
With strangers on alcohol
but you know i know you you know me I know your soul so well
I don’t need no other lover, kiss you undercovers, the key to my masterplan
People blab about the ramblings of night life, they say its easier doing one night stands than staying with a wife
but you know i know you you know me I know your soul so well
I don’t need no other lover, kiss you undercovers, the key to my masterplan
That I want to be your man
I’ve been sticking to a routine, keeping my hands clean,
saying exactly what i mean,
cause I want you to be able to lean on me

never did i question why it felt so good
mobbing up and into my life my modern robinhood
At long last the feelings back yes its real
Bb
bumming round while you been gone its so mundane
your still wearing t-shirts inside out? ya know it doesn’t hide the stain?
At long last the feelings back yes
At long last the feelings back yes its real
Eb
If I have to persuade ya through the toblerone
eating chocolate til i make myself sick here all on my own
At long last, the feelings back yes
At long last, the feelings back yes
At long last, the feelings back yes its real
Bb
your back from the soul searching in asia you know its about damn time
took a selfie with an elephant in nepaul and a monkey robbed you blind
Eb
woke up to see ya passed out in the yard, such a sigh of relief
a big check came in the mail and it squashed all the beef
At long last, the feelings back yes
At long last, the feelings back yes
At long last, the feelings back yes its real

Verse
Em G Am C
Chorus
G Em Am D
Bridge
C Am G Em Am D
Verse
I take a waltz, gutters and streets, anything is better than having our eyes meet
You’re not yourself, Im fighting a stranger, but leaving her alone, puts herself in danger
Chorus
but I’m not in for myself, and if I’m not in it for you, if I’m not in for you, then I don’t know what to do. so I
Verse
shuffle on back, knock on the door, she’s not the same woman i loved before
she comes and goes, like night and day, becomes someone else, in the same old way
(She off and on, the lost highway, turning into someone else at the end of the day)
Chorus
but I’m not in for myself, and if I’m not in it for you, if I’m not in for you, then I tell you what I’d do.
Verse
Ill go from bar to bar to bar, getting far by thumb or car, shot by shot, beer by beer, im getting further from seeing it clear,
Chorus
because I’m in it for myself, I’m not in it for you, if I’m not in for you, then I tell you what I’d do.
Verse
I go from town to town to town, drinking with all the drunks around
I sing these songs, “he sings these songs” I sing them all, all night long
Chorus
I gotta be in it for myself, I gotta be in it for you, when I’m in it for you, then I’d tell the truth
BRIDGE
I’d kiss you all night, rub your feet, id hold you tight, i’d bend the knee
Are you in it for yourself? Are you in it for me?
Chorus (instrumental)

Clayton?
What the do you want?
You’re not gonna believe it.
What could be so important as to interrupt me from my beer?
I know we’re not on speaking terms, but you have to hear me out.
Doug scored a hand me down van
cuz his uncle ray upgraded to a tesla
This deal doesn’t come around often
So let’s strike while the iron’s hot
Jessie/wendy finally kicked out Chad
He’s single again and officially free
His heart is broken and he wrote some new songs
This is a can’t miss opportunity, are you in or out?
Are you saying what I think you’re saying?
Yes I am.
You mean?
Yes, yes I do.
We’re getting the band back together.
its march and the weather’s only getting better,
we’re getting the band back together, you wanna hit the road?
Doug and I went behind your back,
and called Lolita behind the bar in Santa Rita,
She’s gonna give us the saturday spot behind the Jimmie Lee Band
and if you love her like you say you do, you can’t say no.
we’re getting the band back together
we’re getting the band back together
all for one and one for all
all for one and one for all
bought a tele off a kid in the highland estates (don’t ask me how I got the money)
and Ronny loaned DOUG his old kit,
does that bass still work? because Chad just pawned YOUR keys
but I think we can borrow one from cousin louise
we’re getting the band back together
we’re getting the band back together
its march and the weather’s only getting better,
we’re getting the band back together
we’re getting the band back together
Ask Tommy if he’ll let us press some shirts after hours at the shop.
We’ll use our old records, I’ve still got a box wasting space in my closet.
And at the end of the day if your still in touch with Gray we should reach out about his label.
You know I’ll sign on the dotted line til the end of time and ride the highway to hell
The boys are back in town the boys are back in town
