Robbiecube DOUBLE DAMN! This is right in my wheelhouse, my favorite studio album of 2015 by far! Heavily influenced by Cheap Trick & Elvis Costello, 2 discs of crunchy power pop, with emphasis on POWER. The 2 x 12" vinyl's pricey, but beautifully done,The double CD is a bargain. I love this album so much I bought both! Did I mention the drummer wears a fez??? Favorite track: So You Say You Lost Your Baby.

BUILT TO LAST Every morning when I look in the mirror I see a face it looks like Lucifer My head’s exploded but my thoughts are clean I don’t even know the shape I’m in Chorus: You gotta have faith know it’s gonna be all right You say you want to leave but you want to stay all night I can’t see my future always digging through my past Honey honey honey are we built to last? I took the first train out of Baltimore I made it home before the Late Late Show There’s something waiting at the top of the stairs Chorus Repeat 1st verse Chorus

JUST LIKE SUNDAY Down in the memory cellar deep in the used to know Living with grace and danger see the bruise start to show Everyone pulls you under it’s what they’ve learned to do Everyone has your number but they don’t call on you CHORUS: We’ll do exactly as we said Let’s kiss and we’ll come to bed It will be just like Sunday I will be there to keep you happy I will be there to keep you warm I will be there to hold you even when you want to cry It won’t be long now till I see you again Soon will be summer you’re going to be my friend Everything pulls you under it’s what you’ve learned to do Everyone has your number but I will call on you CHORUS (twice)

A SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION Hey baby, I misunderstood I got too sentimental for my own good I swing hard but the fences are high How many times can I walk this wire Back in the day with my favorite song Spinning Blood and Chocolate all night long I want you, do you want me to… Sometimes I feel like I must be stronger Take another pill and you can last longer We don’t grow old we just act younger But how can I love you when you’re so far away? And I do what I can to fix myself All the drugs that I take don’t come off the shelf Well I can see the rain on a sunny day And for crimes of the heart you just have to pay Hey sugar, I misunderstood I’m still too sentimental for my own good You talk tough but defenses are high How many times can you sell this lie Lying in bed reading Philip K. Dick It’s so dystopian I feel heartsick I want you, do you want me to… Sometimes I feel like I must be stronger Take another pill and you can last longer We don’t grow old, man, we just get younger But how can I love you when you’re so far away? And I do what I can to fix myself All the drugs that I take don’t come off the shelf Well I can see the rain on a sunny day And I try…

Contagious 03:31
CONTAGIOUS Confusion reigns and the Coltrane plays on the stereo You lifted a Rolex from some guy dealing horse in Ontario Sunny in the sunshine, mayhem by the evening It’s murder when the summertime turns to fall I’ve grown up wrong and it won’t be long It’s contagious I asked would you break another heart You said never But when you break somebody’s life That’s forever Sunny in the sunshine, mayhem by the evening It’s murder when the summertime turns to fall I’ve grown up wrong and it won’t be long It’s contagious Stoned on the breeze of memories There’s snipers in the trees tonight Lost in a tragicomic spring This song’s about to sing itself Confusion reigns and the Coltrane plays on the stereo I caught you in bed with some guy who looks like Deney Terrio Oh my goodness Sunny in the sunshine, mayhem by the evening It’s murder when the summertime turns to fall I’ve grown up wrong and it won’t be long It’s contagious I’ve grown up wrong and it won’t be long It’s contagious I’ve grown up wrong and it won’t be long It’s contagious I’ve grown up wrong and it won’t be long It’s contagious, contagious, contagious Oh my god, it’s contagious Contagious You’re so fucking outrageous

FOUND MY WAY HOME Young Marble Giants record on We are such colossal youth We’re bigger than this song You are here you are now And I’ll get to you somehow And then I’ll know That I’ve found my way home We’ve got the Roxy Music on The songs from Country Life They bang me like a gong You are here you are now And I’ll get to you somehow And then I’ll know That I’ve found my way home I’m going to get to you I’m going to get to you I’m going to get to you I’m going to get to you Repeat You are here you are now And I’ll get to you somehow And then I’ll know That I’ve found my way home You are here you are now And I’ll get to you I’ll get to you somehow Found my way home Found my way home

(Untitled) 03:15
(UNTITLED) Well you know I want you Yes I do But we’re never going to happen Don’t you know that it’s true We went too far We went much too fast Now you’re wounded and I’m sorry But our perfect world was never meant to last It’s out of the past All the tears and all the superstitions Well I told you the truth But you still think I’m feeding you fiction But I still see your face In front of me at night I miss you and your letters and your voice and your touch But I had to let you go I had to let you go CHORUS: I never meant to cause you harm I wanted to love you and be free from the storm But I hurt you and now the damage is done Well Pale Blue Eyes is a brilliant song But I couldn’t live there for very long I tried and I tried I don’t even want to talk about it Well I still love you baby You know that’s true But you’re never going to leave your husband No matter what I do We came so close Yeah, we came so far In another world you’d be mine But we live in this one So there you are CHORUS (twice)

LOOK TO THE SUN Look to the sun It’s easy to do If you turn a blind eye It reflects back on you Maybe tomorrow We can decide what to do with our lives Maybe tomorrow But I’m not that kind of guy Look to the moon She brought her to you We drift into the afterglow And line up in the queue Maybe tomorrow We can decide what to do with our lives Maybe tomorrow But I’m not that kind of guy Maybe tomorrow You can tell me what you want me to do Look to the sky It opens for you You can do anything with me That you want to do Maybe tomorrow We can decide what to do with our lives Maybe tomorrow But I’m not that kind of guy Maybe tomorrow You can tell me what you want me to do Maybe tomorrow Because I love…

Muffin 02:59
MUFFIN Electric eye she’s my sultry star She kinda grooves me And she went out and bought a bass guitar This kinda moves me Now we were so gorgeous at the Gorge And we got real high Rodeo Sex Clowns never die And I know… CHORUS: She’s the girl who cures my ills She’s the girl who gives me thrills I can’t walk but I know how to run Last year I was about left for dead I really mean it But just like Candy Darling never lost her head I knew I’d find it Now we make love under electric moon And I get real high Rodeo Sex Clowns never die And I know… CHORUS (x3) Muffin.

Runaways 03:38
RUNAWAYS Creem t-shirt and a nipple erection A Boy Howdy can slung on her hip Kim Fowley pulls up in a Chevrolet Hey babe, you want to take my trip? Come on… We’ll rock the house at a shack made of sugar We’ll rock the house at the Whiskey for free And we’ll spend all night cadging drinks at the Troubadour How beautiful can a young girl be? CHORUS They come from the Valley Get lost in Los Angeles High in the Hollywood Hills You’ve got room for ambition Lust in your reverie You got the rock and roll thrills Queens of Noise spend a year driving backwards On the road for a year and a dime And a Mercury man he pulls up in a Chevrolet Here’s your per diem, yeah You have a good time, yeah They hear the noise and they hear the whispers You’re just a girl you don’t know how to play So they spend all night cadging drinks at the Troubadour How driven can a young girl be?

She Got Soul 03:02
SHE GOT SOUL It’s in the way that she looks at me It’s in the myriad ways that I know And I’m losing my mind And I want to be there with her So I ride the waves It’s like the tenderest blows CHORUS She got soul/She got soul She got soul/And I’m out of control So when the push comes to shove And the talk turns to love And we drive around town In a metal machine It’s in the devil you know It’s in the places you go When she holds on tight to me She says, baby let’s go! CHORUS She got soul/she got soul She got soul/she got soul

THE UNSPEAKABLE The holy water A love divine Come together Blow my mind And I don’t want to be a secret any more The unspeakable ‘Cause I know that I was really born to love you And I know that I’m much better than before I can even love myself Something special In the air And I will follow you from pillar to the post my friend Because I care And I don’t want to be a secret any more The unspeakable And I know that I was really born to love you And I know that I’m much better than before I can even love… And I don’t want to be a secret any more The unspeakable And I know that I was really born to love you I know that I’m much better than before Not unspeakable And I know that I was really born to love you And I know that I’m much better than before I can even love… I don’t want to die I just want to get high Let’s get out of here Oh honey turn off the phone I just want to be alone Let’s get out of here I want to recline in a gentle decline Let’s get out of here Let’s watch all the movies that feature Divine Let’s got out of here yeah yeah yeah yeah

16.
Ghost Story 04:45
GHOST STORY I’ll make the bed for two I am expecting you To make my scene again No matter where you are My bright elusive star Come make me clean again CHORUS I will stumble through this life I’m a loaded ghost I’m diminished not augmented I’m a nervous host And I’ll always let you down When you need me most I think I’m going to hide away Depression takes its toll Well that’s just how we roll Diminuendo crescendo in blue I travel through the stars To get to where you are And make you clean again CHORUS Depression takes its toll Well that’s just how we roll Diminuendo crescendo in blue In spite of all our dreams In spite of all we’ve seen In spite of everything CHORUS
17.
DRESSED FOR THE END OF THE WORLD Hey good looking, kind of like your face Do you come here often? Get a load of this place My god look around you You would think it’s the end of the world I submit to your liminal charms I’d cross the world over just to die in your arms My god come and see me We can dress for the end of the world Sal Mineo died for your sins So let the sin begin And comfort if you can this broken down man We’ll undress for the end of the world
18.
POWER POP CHORDS I am touched by visitations of the soul I sold my body to a thing called rock and roll In the basement in the garage and in the club I feel my face melt ‘cause I like it so hard CHORUS Power pop chords/power pop chords Let me hear you sing Power pop chords/power pop chords Let the guitars ring I surrender to the charms of southern girls I love you honey but I hate your friends Oh Candy the clock strikes ten But you’re all talk tonight On top of the world Until it’s time to say Auf Wiedersehen CHORUS And I make a lot of noise Haven’t got a choice Power pop chords with me every day Make a lot of noise I haven’t got a choice Except to listen to Badfinger all day I surrender to the charms of southern girls I love you honey but I hate your friends And my sickness is the thing you love the most You bear my witness I will not give up the ghost CHORUS x2
19.
A WALK IN THE OCEAN You look familiar In the drowning pool Tight-lipped in tight white trousers Charlotte Rampling cool Come on come with me Till the bitter end Come on come with me You’re going to be my friend CHORUS She put the stones in her pocket She took a walk in the ocean She cast her words on the water Then she drifted away Come on come with me Get your head out of those books You’ve got to live a little You’ve got to love a little You’ve got to give me a second look Come on come with me I’m going to learn how to swim Come on come with me baby We’re going to dive right in CHORUS x2 Come on come on with me baby Let’s begin again We’re gonna to jump jump jump into the river baby We’re going to learn how to sin Come on come on with me baby I am born again Come on come on with me baby Whoo whoo!!!!!

DUKES OF ROCK Half a case of Corona Lying in the dressing room I’m gonna drink all day Saw Balaam and the Angel, once The singer was a British fop He put his foot on the monitor CHORUS Flamin’ like The Flamin’ Groovies Pretty like The Pretty Things Rolling bones to The Rolling Stones Freaking out to The Hoople Breaking televisions with The Move Whatever happened to the Dukes of Rock? Hanging out with Marco Pirroni Masonic Temple, 1983 He said, “Hey, have a curry!” Well, some people are quite nice Other people not so nice at all Them’s the breaks, man CHORUS Half a case of Corona Lying in the dressing room I’m gonna drink all day Well, we played this gig with The Bolshoi And the singer said, “There’s blood on my guitar, I give you my blood!” CHORUS Whatever happened to the Dukes of Rock? Whatever happened to the Dukes of… Whatever happened to the Dukes of… Whatever happened to the Dukes of ROCK AND ROLL?
