Reunion Tour 02:50
After the band breaks up and the money's spent We're gonna try to make it last We used to live for the future, then the present And now we live for the past We'll play the songs and then you'll get on the floor We'll play the hits and then you'll beg us for more On our reunion tour We'll be so old we'll have to write the chords on our hands We're not even gonna wait until the comeback's in demand Break up at 20, return at 23 The sellout life is the life for me And there are some out there who claim That it's better to die young But I believe in the Bee Gees' classic 1977 single "Stayin' Alive" Because there's still songs to be sung When I'm a millionaire and I've got seven jets I'll have Olivia to sing a duet On our reunion tour And there are some out there who claim the joke's on us "You should have quit before!" And I say, "hey man - I'll see you at the show tonight The show on our reunion tour."

Ghost Girl 03:07
I've got this ghost girl, she really comes and goes but When she's here, she leans in right up close and tells me Sweet nothings - but one thing that I've noticed now is that She disappears when my fifteenth minute's down I guess I'll just keep loving the illusion 'Til my girl starts giving me confusion Ghost girl, you're such a ghost, girl You leave the lights out when you go up to your ghost world You're such a ghost girl, don't mean to boast, girl But I'd be so much better off without you I've got this ghost girl that I can see right through but This apparition girl's giving me déjà vu and though she Ignores me, the story that I know is true is that she'll Come around next time I play a song or two I guess I'll just keep having her ignore me 'Til my girl starts writing other stories

Is there some kind of disturbance? Is there something in the air? We used to deal by drinking bourbon But now we hold our hands in prayer There was a kid who'd punch your lights out But now he's helping me cross the street There were the kids who'd fly their kites 'round But now their kites lie at their feet We used to "Stand Up For Your Rights" now But now the people are taking seats These days the boys can't go insane They go conservatively off-the-chain And the Riot Squad just stands around And the nudists dress in Sunday gowns And now the cause has swept the nation It's a sovereign affair The press has called it a sensation But no one seems to care The press has called a conference A meeting to discuss The cause that's swept the nation And gotten into all of us But the conference was canceled Cuz it would be too big a fuss These days the boys can't go insane They go conservatively off-the-chain And the Riot Squad just stands around And the nudists dress in Sunday gowns And the whole wide world's a sequel And every man is equal You've got no cross to bear tonight Cuz you've got no one left to fight These days the boys can't go insane They can't feel anger, fear, or pain And the Riot Squad can't stand on guard Cuz everyone's got guns buried in their yards And the whole wide world's a sequel And every man is equal You've got no cross to bear tonight Cuz you've got no one left to fight

My neighbor looks like Christian Bale Especially when he's drinking When I tell my friends what he looks like They ask me what am I thinking They say he looks more like Mark Wahlberg But I disagree, he looks more like Christian Bale to me My neighbor looks like Christian Bale Especially if you're squinting But instead of winning Oscars He works at factories printing Well maybe they're cousins... or something But he is kinda pale, maybe he's not related to Christian Bale

about

The debut EP by notorious youngsters Brimstone Blondes.

"[Brimstone Blondes are] a wonderfully addictive fusion of sleazy garage rock and modern indie-pop."
- Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News

"[Brimstone Blondes'] jangly surf rock is brash and, for lack of a better word, fun... fun enough to dedicate a song to a neighbor that looks uncannily like Christian Bale.”
- Nick Sessanna, buffaBLOG

"Brimstone Blondes’ lo-fi, light-hearted introduction is reminiscent of Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, or The Exploding Hearts. Check it out ."
- Michael Moretti, WBNY

"Brimstone Blondes are like this secret club that you want to be a part of... kind of."
- Andrew McDermott, English teacher
