lyrics

in your day
it’s not that you weren’t ok
it’s only that you in some way
preferred the wrong disguise

then you find
it gained on you from behind
just enough to change your mind
regarding long goodbyes

and I know if you go (if you go)
remember whosoever
several moons ago (moons ago)
said things that you can never
separate from what you are

and in time
the point of view seems fine
but the version of the storyline
no longer coincides

and you go
and fall for the average joe
get pulled into the undertow
and taken for a ride

but I know if you could (if you could)
you might take back that one day
funny that you would (that you would)
say things like those things you say
but I understood (understood)
you prob’ly feel the same way
different from what you are

so many people look your way
so many bloody people trying to fake out and make out

the sky there above you
see how it glows
if I didn’t love you
only god knows

but anyway although (even though)
it’s an endless endeavor
I know if you go (if you go)
remember whosoever
several moons ago (moons ago)
said something you can never
separate
or get it straight
from what you are
what you are

about

pseudonym San Francisco, California

Pseudonym is a band consisting of me, Paul Desjarlais, and other real or imaginary people. Back in Boston a long time ago I used to play bass for The Uncalled Four, and then for Haberland. After that I released a cassette album called Pabz, and later a CD called Pig Tail World. Now I live in San Francisco and I record songs when I get a chance and sometimes post albums online. ... more

(PB091)The Solicitors: Made To Measure (w/ free bonus digital single "Quicksand")
by Popboomerang

Like stumbling into an alternate universe with quality Brinsley Schwarz material from their pub-rock heyday which you hadn't heard (all written by Nick Lowe) but sadly with no keyboards. For youngsters that means I fully expect to still be enjoying this catchy material forty years on, gods willing. Shaggy Maggot

"15 songs crammed on one CD," this is how The Kickstand Band sum up their bright idea which consisted in gathering their three digital EPs on one CD for the joy of those who, like me, still enjoy having the music they love in physical format with cover art included. POPPHIL
