Hard to quits, Pile on the shit Bad news and bad habits Angry dollars Angry kids Falling bricks and rotting pits Feeling moody and called in sick Broken leg, Pogo stick No good hit Since 96 No good hit Since 96 I wished it down the drain And I pissed it all away Chemicals and highs I can’t believe my eyes Trying to crack a smile Now that seems cliche [Only got time for love] Hard to quits, Pile on the shit Bad news and bad habits Angry dollars Angry kids Falling bricks and rotting pits Feeling moody and called in sick Broken leg, Broken leg No good hit Since 96 No good hit Since 96 I wished it down the drain And I pissed it all away Chemicals and highs I can’t believe my eyes Trying to have a smile Now that seems cliche Mosquito bites my mind Only got time for love [Only got time for love]

8.	Fading Portrait 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Is it fancy to think of someone In an infinite world Up on a shiny doobie “A tree in the conflict of it all” Sings a bird on a twig Living all the round Singing to no one at all Finding yourself On a river mouth Gather long Get your new temper And know that-that is insane Go lock and low A chivalrous show Of an empty shadow Gravel of the dirt Is dug inside the willow In caves far away which i know follow And the visions of your portrait Seems to fade Blue iron lung Is that the care bared that you’ve evolved Sleeps Sleeps Sleeps
9.	Raincoat On 02:21	lyrics	buy track
I’ve watched you simmer on the dark side of the moon You know your rocketship will sure be leaving soon You’ve got your raincoat on but you don’t feel the rain All you feel is pain I’ve seen you turn your back on every single friend Even the ones that gave you things you didn’t have You’ve stretched your mind so far that you can’t even dream Nothing is as it seems Seems You’ve left the kettle going so long there’s only steam What happened to your dream? Dream Dream Dream Dream You’ve got your raincoat on but you don’t feel the rain All you feel is pain Pain I’ve watched you simmer on the dark side of the moon You know your rocketship will sure be leaving soon You’ve got your raincoat on but you don’t feel the rain All you feel is pain I’ve seen you turn your back on every single friend Even the ones that gave you things you didn’t have You’ve stretched your mind so far that you can’t even dream Nothing is as it seems Seems You’ve left the kettle going so long there’s only steam What happened to your dream? Dream Dream Dream You’ve got your raincoat on but you don’t feel the rain All you feel is pain Pain

about

We are so excited to announce our first cassette release Lost Boy ?’s latest album “Pop Songs For Dummies” As long time fans of this solo project from Davey Jones, his new record goes in a new enthusiastic direction of electronic, trip-hop, and dance influences and we are proud to say is out now on Freeman Street Records.

“Pop Songs For Dummies” was never initially intended to be a full length. I was moving in all sorts of directions musically over the past years, so I was experimenting with a lot of sounds I haven’t tried before. Most of the tracks were meant to be released individually over time as singles when they felt complete. I had written probably around 20 tracks before sorting out what seemed cohesive to be an album.

The songs on this release I took my time with instead of just letting them be finalized right off the bat- like in the past. I wanted to craft and carve this time around because I feel I can be impatient. Perspective was a big factor. Mark Brickman, Nick Rogers, and myself [aka The Turtle Rubs] would listen and give feedback on what I was working on. Eventually we would record “3 Helicopters” together. Having this approach helped with being more patient without deadlines or time limits over my head.

It has been an amazing journey making this record and I am very happy with the outcome.
