Andy’s words » Evening Saunter

Last weekend MM and I went to the birthday party of SP in Cambridge. Beside the fact that we were actually the first one driving from Clifton Park (about three hours) and that we all got way too drunk, it was a great evening of fun. The food was great, drinks were, well, drinks, and the crowd was just what you would expect.

The next day DJ was touring the Cambridge to us and somewhere on the way we stopped in this place to buy tickets for The Walkman. Turns out I knew this band from before and I like it a lot. DJ also told me about some other bands. And here is the funny anecdote. So, I was listening to Kaiser Chiefs and their song Oh My God, which is by the way awesome. As I stop on the gym’s parking lot and go in, the song that is playing is the same Oh My God. Coincidence?

Anyway, here are the lyrics to We’ve been had, which is an amazing song from The Walkman

Well I’m a modern guy I don’t care much for the go-go
or the retro image I see so often telling me to
keep trying maybe you’ll get here someday
keep up the working, ok
I close the book on them right thereI see myself change as the days change over
I hear the songs and the words don’t change
I write them out of the book right thereWe’ve been had, you say it’s over
Sometimes I’m just happy I’m older
We’ve been had I know it’s over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loudSee me age 19 with some dumb haircut from
1960 moving to New York City
live with my friends there we’re all taking the same steps
they’re foolish now

We’ve been had you say it’s over
Sometimes I’m just happy I’m older
We’ve been had I know it’s over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud

Now, if you like this one, you may like Kaiser Chiefs too. So, while I am sauntering around, thinking about my friends, I wish you all best.
