Stagger Lee

Take a seat at the diner and the… coffee's sweet.
Compared to the rest, all stuck here… making ends meet.
I took her love and her money… then I ran.
Now I’m taking it all... as far as I can.
I come home to an empty house, but find her full of tears.
Also covered in sweat, smell of sex, so I know someone’s been here.
Bad while she tells me where he went and I’m gone.
Better while on the highway, I stop before dawn.
Hey, Stagger Lee!
You shot Billy!
Hey, Stagger Lee!
...Poor Billy.
I should get back on the road… one more cigg.
Think of what I've done and… who I’ve did.
Then the door gives a chime… if she were mine.
And the stranger doesn't seem… too strange.
Shake off my coat, and my hat, but my gun it stays dry.
Bum a smoke off a joker who suddenly seems too sad.
I think there’s something about you.
I think I know who you are…
Hey, Stagger Lee!
You shot Billy!
Hey, Stagger Lee!
You shot Billy!

Lie on the seafloor... stay for a while... caught in the waves... broke with the tide.
Got a feeling it takes my soul... turn back but she says no... it's a surprise... and then I open up my eyes.
Qu'est-ce que c'est whoa-oh
ba bada...
Lighting the C4... run back inside... caught in a haze... broke with my stride.
Got a feeling it takes my soul... ask Tim and he says so... it's just a lie... and then I open up my eyes.
Qu'est-ce que c'est whoa-oh, hey hey...
(solo)
ba bada...

Had a late flight but we're doing alright, we're going out tonight.
We're gettin in all places good girls sin, 'cause she's out of sight.
Hey, now you reached the top but you did not know, well you can't talk shit if you don't see the show
Everybody's gathering, they're looking for a fight, anyway you cut me, man--
I got you dead to rights. We got you dead to rights.
We got you dead to rights, no no no. We got you dead to rights.
Hey, now you reached the top but you did not know, well you can't talk shit if you don't see the show
Everybody's running, they're running from the fight, anyway you cut me, man--
I got you dead to rights. We got you dead to rights.
We got you dead to rights, no no no. We got you dead to rights.
(bridge) Hey, Barbara Anne...
We're waiting on the thunder... I saw the light.
We're waiting on the thunder... I saw the bright lightening.
Hoohoo'oooo... Hoohoo'oooo...
Lord, we're waiting on the thunder... Saw the bright lightening.
We're waiting on the thunder... Saw the bright lightening.
Hoohoo'oooo... Hoohoo'oooo...

Too Much Time

She's so hot, I got a fever, I'll pretend to be a true believer... as I fall towards the light.
You're so rev...olutionary, I see your actions and oh they're quite contrary... 'cause I fought for the night.
Oh, and now we're breaking the law, as we lie on the floor, we got too much time.
No, and now we're taking it all, as we've seen before, only now we're blind.
Yeah, and now we're starting to fall, 'cause you seem unsure, but you made the signs.
No, I think I'd rather die for... You... Now.
It's so hard. To find a reason. You speak your mind and oh they call it treason, 'cause I got the puzzle and you've lost my piece of mind.
Another cause, without a cure, oh your inbox's becoming such a blur, while I fight for the night.
Oh, and now we're breaking the law, as we lie on the floor, we got too much time.
No, and now we're taking it all, as we've seen before, only now we're blind.
Yeah, and now we're starting to fall, 'cause you seem unsure, but you made the signs.
No, I think I'd rather die for... You... Now.
Oh, I'd rather die for... You... Tonight
I think I'd rather die for... You... Now.
I'd rather die for... You... Tonight

Dream Like This

I see headlights
Keep her close
'Cause those boys are trouble
On the upper-East Coast
Pull the rebar
Devil's kiss
Nobody wakes up
From a dream like this
She's your sister
But he's my friend
Nobody leaves here
And comes back again
I... I wanna lay in your light... I gotta have you tonight-- and not someone other.
'Cause I... I wanna live in our lies... I want to think that you're mine...all mine, and not someone other's.
Take the west-side
I got the north
Around and surround them
Like a rope to the throat
Swing the rebar
Devil's kiss
Nobody wakes up
From a dream like this
That's your sister
Well he's my friend
Bitch watch me sweat now
And do it again and again and--
I... I wanna lay in your light... I gotta have you tonight-- and not someone other.
'Cause I... I wanna live in our lies... I want to think that you're mine...all mine, and not someone other's.

I'm Gone

Light me up, or just tear me another, we've been sittin' here way to long, so I'm gone...
Yeah, baby, I'm gone.
So goodbye. Farewell. And so long.
Three days pass and you drop me a line, all adds up to just wasted time, my friends saw you out the other day, tell that boy he's got Hell to pay, and I'm gone...
Yeah, baby, I'm gone.
So goodbye. Farewell. And so long.

Vandelay Los Angeles, California
Vandelay burst onto the scene like a drunken thief from a bank vault. Their debut LP "Mean What You Say" is full-frontal Garage Blues armed with live-wire harmonica solos, freight-train rhythm, and searing fuzz guitar lines. Imagine if The Black Keys and The Strokes got into a street fight then formed a band with the last men standing. You can't help but clap along (if that's what you're into). ... more
