about

The lament of the burgeoning musicians' struggles. The people and places name-checked are all real, as are the events described. Sometimes the doing is more fun than the recalling.

lyrics

Scotty said to call him on Tuesday
But not until afternoon
He's gonna try to find us something
But he's already booked through June
It's Sunday morning and my mouth tastes like an ashtray soaked in beer
And it smells like something died in here

Playing the Tommy Tucker Lounge
To some jerks who gave us shit in school
"Hey man, we didn't know you played,
Dude, that's really cool"
Well, if you feel like that, you can buy me a drink,
'coz we're only gettin' the door
And you're not what I came here for

Why why why even try?
Dyin' all week long just for Saturday night

Drove all the way to Portland
Hit a blizzard at the state line
Played to half a dozen die-hards
Who drank themselves half blind
Spent a whole week wrestling with this pen,
Trying to get these words right...

Why why why even try?
Dyin' all week long just for Saturday night
Why why why

Independant record store, college radio
And the guy at the Globe said he wants to catch our next show

We can play Rockwood on Thursday
But we've gotta go on at eight
And we've gotta guarantee to draw forty
Or we're not getting paid

Why why why even try?
Living all your life just for Saturday night
Why why why
Why why why
Why why why
Even try?
