Pet Project 00:47
The only thing I ever wanted you to do Is give it to me straight when we were through But that turned out to be too much to ask of you You said you'd love me til the end of time But that turned out to be a fucking lie 'Cause the only one you'll love that long is you It's like you're always saying Praise means more from the really stuck up But that's just not the way it looks When you're on the floor and completely fucked up Take 5, pull yourself together and Wash that vomit out of your hair because I'm gonna turn you into something respectable Your my pet project, baby

Pop punk boys are girls Silly songs about love is what gets them through the day Broken hearted stories of the one who got away Holding hands and movie nights Making sure that she's okay I'd go so far as to compare a pop punk boy To Christina Aguilera

Oh, when we got going you know all of this was easy as pie Everything came naturally and we didn't even have to try Swore we'd keep it simple and as far as you know that's what we did Oh but lately, baby, well I've started getting funny ideas Don't go and take another little piece of my heart If you want something to happen you already know how it's gonna start You've gotta make the first move You've gotta make it soon I'm kinda falling apart inside I can't handle any more of this If you don't make the first move I won't tell a soul 'Cause I'd rather have half of something than nothing at all If you want me all you've gotta do is come and get me And you know that's just a simple fact Oh but if you don't well I'll just sit here hanging off The monkey that's still hanging off your back

about

This is totally our split with Rational Anthem. Those guys rule.
Our friend Nate did the hilarious artwork.
What? The songs? Fine.

Pet Project is really super fast. It is the first of many songs I wrote about imaginary people. It's about turning a puddle of drunken insanity into a nice lady. Like The King and I but with more half remembered blowjobs.

Pop Punk Boys Are Girls is a song that makes all of us shake in our Chuck Taylors. Truer words never spoken. If you like this band and think you aren't an overly emotional dingdong 80% of the time, you're a) Wrong, b) Stupid, and c) Stupid.

Last, also least, is Gotta Make The First Move. I wrote it about my future wife when we weren't even dating yet. FUCKING TIME MACHINE, MOTHERFUCKERS! Also, see what a bit of ingenuity and a catchy tune can do? It'll get you married as hell.
