lyrics

Depth Charge

if im gonna write a song
bout you
better get drunk
if im gonna write a song
bout you
better be drunk
better be

when i watch you yr eyes say
here i am
when you watch me you read a question
pour me another one when ya can

yr mama she paint pictures ah ah
+ they’re happy as can be
but my god ya really hate them so much
cuz they say nuthin
bout her history
they say nuthin
that could set her free

ya wanna be my
ya wanna be my
ya wanna be my
friend

ya met her in a bar in Spain
+ she knew you right away
+ she pushed you to the edge
of being terrified
by the depthcharge
in yr head

lookin at you
lookin at me
lookin at you
lookin at me
waiting to try
anything

ya wanna be my
ya wanna be my
ya wanna be my
friend

if im gonna write a song
bout you
better get drunk
if im gonna write a song
bout you
better be drunk

from FORCED 2 SWALLOW, track released September 22, 2002
THE SHELLEY WINTERS PROJECT went into WOOLLY MAMMOTH SOUND (The weeping behemoth has folded her tent. The catacomb rehearsal/label/studio so many have slogged away in for years is being torn to bits to make room for - you guessed it - condERminiums.) Anyhow SWP slid in there one long night and recorded 17 songs live. (Sir David Minehan crawled all over the place - ass in air - to get things right.) Overdubbed vocals and one or two bits of guitar, violin. Mixed when we could. In many ways it's SHELLEY's truest record. No other instruments or players took part save those last remaining: Meredith Cooper - violin. Jeff Muzerolle - drums. Noah Scanlan - bass. David Berndt - guitar. Berlin - Berlin. Realize it's been said before, but as far as this old lady's concerned, SHELLEY is her LAST BAND EVER. Will miss Mr. Minehan with all my heart. Less some big idea with big bucks wades into my life.
