the lost crumpled flowers

of saturday night(s)

crumble to the pavement

(on) the blvd (of) lights

the dreary dream rubbed

too many times

as suited men kick their feet

at others lack of destiny

stumbling through fogs of desires

& chains of being

laying flower after flower

searching for  some meaning

tied in pretty ribbons

untied in the mud

every morning I am sweeping

up these lost ideals of

love

there is not enough sewer

for the things humanity has done

the sun burns way the shadows

piles &piles of rot

yet in each face

that time has tossed

so much beauty,fragility, loss

we all breathe, we all stop

my broom passing over

memories

swirling

in the dawn

so much good

so much wrong

my hands no longer young

reaching for things I cannot see

only feel & become

SAWAGO   lyrics!!!

Sawago sawago          

Uh! Oh! so so so

Ikareteru

Uh oh OW!

We live between

the light and night

the love longing laugh

Our skin the streets

nowhere and go

Ikareteru            

Ikashiteru

Sawago sawago          

Uh! Oh! so so so

Don’t play us for dead Mina scream

They try-y

To pacify-y

Our fevers for chaaange

With pills bland pop greed and fame

AINT GOT MUCH   lyrics

I’m lying in my bed trying to teach myself about lonliness

That it doesn’t need a man to fix it     This is hard

I’ve lost interest in trying to fix things and rather ponder them

than work them, than work them out out

Everytime you come around

I aint got much to say to you

  ur too pretty to be fun

 No I aint got much to say to u

Everytime you come around

I aint got much to say to you

            you’re so boring come on!

no I aint got much to say to you

 I used to work my math problems out like a rabbit running from wild teeth

Quick and all over the place see.

The teachers would get mad Saying Look at this slop y scribble though most times the answers would be Right But because I went so

Sometimes the one didn’t carry or it looked like a seven

Everytime you come around

I aint got much to say to you

you’re stillborn in a gun

I aint got much to say to you

Wanna a man to peel and eat me down

the way the ocean swallows the sun

your gone  I’ve come

                        no i aint got much to say to you

I’ve been told to slow down a lot in my life.. The fat lady in the rocker says when she teaches me how to feel

It’s not about what but how

when I don’t breathe right Slow with the ribs, otherwise the notes sound wrong

But The stillness scares me

When I was a child When my father was still I’d  hold his nose, make sure he

was breathing Or kick him soft in his sleep

I wonder what he does to stop the lonliness

if he kept on walking and dreaming 

Everytime you come around

I aint got much to say to you

a knife in my back would be morefun

 No I aint got much to say to you

you cling to me like morning dew

then evaporate the last bit of moon

realizing all moments are like you

impermanent and even this lonliness to

do I miss you?  Or the idea of you?

No there’s nothin’ much you can do

            But your famous disappearing act

no, you just, you won’t do

everytime you come.you come [nah I aint got much to say]

everytime you come.you come

everytime you come.you come

everytime you come.you come I’m soooo bored

 YUMI & THE SOUND    lyrics

Why must I find you and i

We must defy to unite

I live straight on a street

Of fast moving tongues

Hung on everyone strung out on shape shifting and death

Everybody says the got the truth

But it’s a noose

Zombie cultures no news

 but feel me breaking through to you

we got the same beating heart the same but no

Be brave for the change

Ur imaginary chain let it go

turn me on and take me

wake me up and shock me

I had, I lost, I found,

You, Me and the ground

turn me on and take me

wake me up and shock me

I had, I lost, I found,

You, Me and the sound

Who we become in freedom We almost know

There feel the clouds move as you break through

To the real you no static here no one trying to sell you

nothing

unplug you and tune in

this is it

YOUR LIFE

turn me on and take me

wake me up and shock me

I had, I lost, I found,

You, Me and the ground

turn me on and take me

wake me up and shock me

I had, I lost, I found,

You, Me and the sound

 GENERATION OF THE BORED  lyrics

I sit around          and watch pointless tv

I pop a pill but it won’t fix me

I’ve got lots to do         so I do    uf nothing

i’m g-g-g-g-generation of the bored

I say I’m pretty     but I feel ugly

I say I’m fine but     I’m feelin’ crazy

I starve myself then devour everything

i’m g-g-g-g-generation of the bored

I say listen to me I’ll never tell u what I mean  LISTEN

I say listen to me I’ll never tell u what I mean  LISTEN

complain about war     yet do nothing

afraid of love but      it’s where I wanna be

I want you all to watch but please don’t see me

I feel so lost but I’ll tell you where you’re going

don’t wanna work don’t wanna depend on noone

complain about the war yet do nothing

i’m generation of the ba-ba-ba-ba bored

and no one get’s me

I don’t know why…it’s just that I got to flip my calendar and I’m pretty excited about this year with the new record and stuff.. .yada yada. (I can’t believe I typed “Yada Yada.”)

The Beach Boy/Dumb single (buy it on digitally or on red vinyl HERE is you haven’t already) is doing pretty good! Little Steven chose CA Beach Boy as “The Coolest Song In The World” on The Underground Garage last week! Soooo cool! Thanks to Little Steven!

You also might have seen us play it on The Price Is Right…or heard it on KROQ when Rodney Bingenheimer’s spun it…or The Underground Garage when Drew Carey’s played it!

Yes. We’re excited. Just wait till the whole record comes out!!!! IIIIEEEEEEE!

We’ve also been spending a nice chunk of time working on ‘GirlTrash All Night Long’ the movie! Lots of fun but some very late nights! You see the movie takes place at night…one long night and so all the filming is at night… yep. There’s nothing like chasing a giant 1982 Chevy Nova around the lot of the Fonda at 5 in the morning while screaming at the tops of our lungs! A bunch of crazy scenes..it’s going to be a really fun film.  Be sure to keep your eyes peeled in the coming days for calls out for extras.  You might be able to be in some scenes with us too!

And…We just added a show for tonight in LA! Our pals from Killola needed us to fill in for them because Lisa’s too sick to chirp for you. So here are the deets. Looks like a great night…FREE show, open bar, other bands are cool! WOOOO!  What more can you ask for (that isn’t  totally illegal)!  See deets below:

Hope to see you all soon! We’re booking tour dates and have begun to add a few shows around the country so hang in there.

With whisky kisses,

Kelly & the boys!

p.s. be our pal on Facebook!
