lyrics

Do you want to hear the story of my life?
Got no reason to go home tonight
I ain’t complainin’, what’s the use?
It’s just me and the boys and a pint or two
Telling lies about things we used to do

I ain’t had no fun in London
Since the Hammersmith Palais
New York City’s boring
Since the punks all went away
Tokyo’s gone techno
And Berlin’s going crazy
I ain’t had no fun
Since Hammersmith Palais

Once upon a time the world made sense
Now there’s nothin’ straight enough to rebel against
Ain’t been no work since ‘82
There’s only one thing left to do
Make sure they know we’ve been here when we’re through

I ain’t had no fun in London
Since the Hammersmith Palais
New York City’s boring
Since the punks all went away
Tokyo’s gone techno
And Berlin’s going crazy
I ain’t had no fun
Since Hammersmith Palais

So do you want to hear the story of my life?
Got no reason to go home tonight
Well life’s a drag and then you’re dead
It’s just me and the boys and a bottle of red
Telling lies about better days ahead

Steve Conte masterfully marries late 70's rock and early punk. Melodic and soulful with a pinch of personal pain. If there's anyone who's keeping the heartbeat of rock n' roll steady and stout, it's Steve Conte! Superb jamz! Thanx! Your loyal fan, Kainoa Kainoa J. Blackeagle
