as he attacks his bass
i want to lick them

playing his guitars

places I've loved you

remembers the things that your 
mind tries to forget

AN EXCERPT FROM AN EMAIL ON THE FIRST FEMALE ARTIST THEY SIGNED

and yeah, her looks help - we live
in a fickle world"

for the sounds I made, to men
I chose to work with

you can miss out on 
entire seasons if you're out
on tour long enough
