Solid Jackson Lyrics - A Collection Of Songs: Recorded 1995-1997 - Bright Eyes

She says she's read too many fashion magazines 

She's forgotten what real love is like 

And as the basement collects more kids off the street 

They smoke themselves to death waiting for the band to begin 

They have been tuning up there for an hour now 

And I don't think I can stand another minute more 

Just then the first chord strums and the drums set in 

And I know what I have been waiting around for 

'Cause no one's going home until the morning comes 

No one's gonna sleep until the sun comes up 

Did you hear those first two songs? They were fucking tough 

And the band is not going to stop until the cops show up 

So hold your applause until the end 

And wait for the sadness to set in 

'Cause that's the only feeling that's worth it 

He say he's done with the pop music scene 

There's too many opinions and so few are worth a shit 

He has got to learn to act a little more mean 

'Cause the mean ones always end up with the record deals 

And it is only when I'm angry that I feel complete 

When we are screaming at each other is when I am most happy 

I hang out with my friends and then I get depressed 

And I drink myself to sleep with any strength that is left 

And I quit going to church a year ago 

And my teachers thinks that my faith is gone 

But I can do without the Eucharist 

I found God in a Solid Jackson song, song
