I don't think you'll read this but as a musician and artist your music has helped me come out of a very dark time. I need a new war. Drug me through the most painful part of my life. And I know I'm rambling but I just have too say thank you for everything
Another great track, love it - thanks Craig! Waiting for your next ‘God in Chicago’ but more tracks similar to the Hold Steady style will never get a complaint from me!
I met Vanessa right in front of her building She was vague, and dazed, and drowning Says she's got a new man and he's in a new band And they've got a new sound I said hardcore is in the eye of the beholder I've got a broken heart from 1989 I was holding my head in my hands from the heat There were elbows in my eyes Vanessa said that there's threads that connect us Flags and wars, we should never accept Angelo said that there's snakes in the smoke From the cigarettes Ivan isn't all that concerned He said it's mostly about what you wear to the show I think the scene's gonna fall apart pretty soon Heard a song that I liked on the radio If things change quickly Just remember I still love you And I'll circle 'round the block tonight Between 9 and 10 o'clock tonight If you're still standing here, I'll take that as a sign You agree it was a sucker punch Punk is not a fair fight It's never been a fair fight We said there weren't any rules But there were so many goddamn rules You said that they'd be cool But then they had so many goddamn rules Some industrial vampire Had it scratched into his skin Someone got something from the store down the street Someone got their head kicked in If the cops shut down the show Just remember that we tried And I'll meet you at the place we crashed In 1999 If you're still staying there I'll take that as a sign Well the drugs, they all ganged up on you It's never been a fair fight It's never been a fair fight It's never been a fair fight Yeah, I went to the service No, I didn't know what to say Everybody's talking about his joie de vivre I guess I didn't see it that way Saw him snap off the filters I guess he liked how it burned Everybody's talking about his song and his laughter I guess I'm still not sure Yeah, I knew he was hurting I was not exactly walking in bright lights Yeah, I knew it could happen It's never been a fair fight It's never been a fair fight

Great song!
wow, i didn't think the version on the EP could be topped but i love this
I met Vanessa right in front of her building
She was vague, and dazed, and drowning
Says she's got a new man and he's in a new band
And they've got a new sound
I said hardcore is in the eye of the beholder
I've got a broken heart from 1989
I was holding my head in my hands from the heat
There were elbows in my eyes
Vanessa said that there's threads that connect us
Flags and wars, we should never accept
Angelo said that there's snakes in the smoke
From the cigarettes
Ivan isn't all that concerned
He said it's mostly about what you wear to the show
I think the scene's gonna fall apart pretty soon
Heard a song that I liked on the radio
If things change quickly
Just remember I still love you
And I'll circle 'round the block tonight
Between 9 and 10 o'clock tonight
If you're still standing here, I'll take that as a sign
You agree it was a sucker punch
Punk is not a fair fight
It's never been a fair fight
We said there weren't any rules
But there were so many goddamn rules
You said that they'd be cool
But then they had so many goddamn rules
Some industrial vampire
Had it scratched into his skin
Someone got something from the store down the street
Someone got their head kicked in
If the cops shut down the show
Just remember that we tried
And I'll meet you at the place we crashed
In 1999
If you're still staying there
I'll take that as a sign
Well the drugs, they all ganged up on you
It's never been a fair fight
It's never been a fair fight
It's never been a fair fight
Yeah, I went to the service
No, I didn't know what to say
Everybody's talking about his joie de vivre
I guess I didn't see it that way
Saw him snap off the filters
I guess he liked how it burned
Everybody's talking about his song and his laughter
I guess I'm still not sure
Yeah, I knew he was hurting
I was not exactly walking in bright lights
Yeah, I knew it could happen
It's never been a fair fight
It's never been a fair fight
