Clean dirty dishes up off my last table Been at it since half past seven She's going to meet me for a walk right after class Its not much but it feels like heaven You know we dont have the money So we play pretend So what we're knee deep in debt We've got time to spend Where the rich kids flaunt a life we cant afford Well thats all fine and dandy At least we're never bored After a long day We somehow make this shack feel like a home On a dog day afternoon Stay up long after midnight To catch the pink sunrise in the morning Feel the heat of the sun through the window pane Hear the sound of the cities warning, again Its a warm summer evening The streets are packed Take the subway right downtown The red line track To the old fashion district See the newest trends Where we take in the neon lights Through a camera lens After a long day She falls asleep on my shoulder on the last train home And the stations become a blur And I get afraid Of the suitcases and the silence And the feeling that Someday that could be us On the long train But you know we dont have the money So we play pretend Havent built our castle in the sky to defend Well weve got the imagination Without the stress Ill skip the suit, you skip the dress Well we know we dont have the money So we play pretend So what we're knee deep in debt We've got time to spend Oh We know we dont have the money So we play pretend So what we're knee deep in debt We've got time to spend After a long day Theres nowhere in the world id rather be Than right here, broke with you On the long train home
This is your best work to date. (The remastered version of Peace of Mind is my second favorite.) Keep creating; you’re on to something. I look forward to seeing you live in Austin someday.
Trying to force this song into Karaoke Nights with the group going forward. Found this while on my 80s Spotify playlist and thought to myself "theres NO way this is from the 80s and just doesnt get talked about, not a song this good" surely enough, not from the 80s, now it makes sense. Gotta say, the wife and I love the vibe of you guys and we're looking forward to what comes next :)
This is the same way I found these guys. I was at physical therapy and they had an ‘80s playlist going on the TV. Since my high school and college years were in the ‘80s, I knew every band and tune that came on until Retrofile appeared. I was puzzled as to how such a great tune “from the ‘80s” had eluded my ears for so long. Looked up the band later and found out why! 😂 If it was intentional, brilliant strategy. If not, fortuitous experience for me.
Clean dirty dishes up off my last table
Been at it since half past seven
She's going to meet me for a walk right after class
Its not much but it feels like heaven
You know we dont have the money
So we play pretend
So what we're knee deep in debt
We've got time to spend
Where the rich kids flaunt a life we cant afford
Well thats all fine and dandy
At least we're never bored
After a long day
We somehow make this shack feel like a home
On a dog day afternoon
Stay up long after midnight
To catch the pink sunrise in the morning
Feel the heat of the sun through the window pane
Hear the sound of the cities warning, again
Its a warm summer evening
The streets are packed
Take the subway right downtown
The red line track
To the old fashion district
See the newest trends
Where we take in the neon lights
Through a camera lens
After a long day
She falls asleep on my shoulder
on the last train home
And the stations become a blur
And I get afraid
Of the suitcases and the silence
And the feeling that
Someday that could be us
On the long train
But you know we dont have the money
So we play pretend
Havent built our castle in the sky to defend
Well weve got the imagination
Without the stress
Ill skip the suit, you skip the dress
Well we know we dont have the money
So we play pretend
So what we're knee deep in debt
We've got time to spend
Oh
We know we dont have the money
So we play pretend
So what we're knee deep in debt
We've got time to spend
After a long day
Theres nowhere in the world id rather be
Than right here, broke with you
On the long train home
❤❤

I vibe with this song so hard, my wife's panicking about affording things in the future and I'm just happy we're together regardless of wealth.
