Chemical Dancer (free) 02:43
She’s the one who thrills me Greta Garbo the Belle couldn’t compare to her She’s the star of the screen dreams Does a chemical dance till they come for her I want everything right now I’ve got to be her And if everything is out Then so are we She’s the one, the strip tease She maneuvers her lipstick traces on me And she’s the drug element and All of Asia’s out and aroused too I want everything right now I’ve got to be her And if everything is out Then so are we She’s is everything right now I’ve got to see her She is everything right now She turns to me She’s a chemical dancer when she’s on She’s a chemical dancer when she’s on She’s a chemical dancer when she’s on She’s a chemical dancer but now she’s gone

September (free) 03:36
I’m a believer in almost anything And you’re the only one I know I am the answer and the enemy On the one-way radio He’s checked out Why don’t you learn to die Or stay in love forever And hope there’s no one waiting on the other side (when you go) You’re always talking, you’re never listening You didn’t hear when your time had come I am the answer, I am the enemy Sky high all the way back home You still can take us back And save your life Or turn us all to fire And hope there’s someone waiting on the other side When you go home Go home Ken, you’re a star…

Terrified (free) 02:54
All my life I ran from you to an empty room Crossed my heart until I died All my life I’m ready for the burn But I can’t check out now Because I’m terrified, terrified, terrified I won’t find you Trapped against a thousand walls trying to get to you I know where you all belong – in another song Think you’re hot stuff when you stare I’ll show you where You can have my head Just f* me when I’m dead Because I’m terrified, terrified, terrified I won’t find you Trapped inside these prison walls trying to get to you Terrified, terrified, terrified I won’t find you We keep playing the same Stones song trying to break on through Or find some other way to get back home Or blow them all away and run I’m terrified, terrified, terrified I won’t find you Trapped against a thousand walls trying to break on through Terrified, terrified, terrified I won’t find you We keep playing the same Stones song trying to get to you

Darkly (free) 03:21
Darkly is the way they come again Every other day they’re dead in red Creeping down the walls, don’t want ‘em to go Darling makes a mess in limousines Hiding in his dress he kicks and screams Crying in the night, I want him to go I wasn’t at all inside my head I want you, you’re just like Robert Palmer says Yeah I see you shooting star Do you want it in the dark? In the dark? They get down, down to the Velvet Underground And bounce around to the Madchester sound Down, down, down, I want ‘em to go You want me to hide out in your bed I want you, you’re just like Robert Palmer said Yeah I see you shooting star Do you want it in the dark? In the dark? Could have made it past the bars But you crashed out in your car Now you’re taking me too far In the dark They’re waiting there for you Still waiting on the outside, but they’re All waiting there for you All waiting there for you

Dead House (free) 04:17
We’ll live in a dead house five years from now If we don’t move out And hijack our way out through the Evian skies To another sphere Saturn will fall into the sea Into the ocean waiting Saturn will fall into the sea, into the sea We built California like a real disease That we could beat With parts made of real meat For the Disney girls We’ll eat them all Saturn will fall into the sea Into the ocean waiting Saturn will fall into the sea, into the sea I’m falling backwards looking for words Just as I can bet you’re always there Upset with who I am I’m cleaning toilets, mopping restrooms While you wink your way into a cab It’s more than I can stand Please when you’re cooking, entertaining Pause a sec and take that kitchen knife And stick it through your head Stick it through your head

So in Love (free) 03:03
He’s fire in the sky He loves me so he hates me Draws me to erase me Never tells me why The fire in the sky Loves me like a father Treats me like a target Makes me wanna die But I can’t live without him Cause he’s my guy I shout my soul out For fire in the sky Said I was his favorite Not good enough to make it Still I gotta try I can’t live without him Cause he’s my guy And so I’m telling you To duck and run my lovely one Oh baby you know that he wants you He’d kill to have you for a wife I’ll lie and say that you’re my sister Just to save my life Just to save my life Cruel little fool Fuel for fire Cruel little fool Cry: Here I am Fuel for fire Here I am Crying: “Goddamn he really loves me Goddamn he really loves me Goddamn he really loves me I know him better than you’ll ever know yourself I know him better than you’ll ever know yourself I know him better than you’ll ever know yourself!” It’s really love So in love

The Stiffs (free) 02:54
Come back tonight Back to the old house Back in the city where the dogs run all night Come back to me You need rebuilding I live in crowded in subway cars, koala on a pole When the ground beneath my feet Cracks and starts to bleed I’ll know it’s you coming back to me Come out tonight Out from the nausea Out and away from the syphilitic swine We were born in the seventies So we’re scared of this disease But modern warfare It’s still makes us smile Come back tonight

Kidnapped (free) 03:02
Put ‘em in the back Tied across the chest Hold ‘em on the ground So the air still flows Looking for the blue eyes Hock ‘em for a good price Back into the hole that we all know I’m a cutter in the air and a terror in the sky We’ll take ‘em out I know what they’re looking for We’ll draw a new line with today Rolling with the guys Heading out of Maine Searching for a vein, it’s a long way down Living off a book Surfing in the sky Anyway we’re heaven-bound Like a diver in the sea, hooked on oxygen and ecstasy We’ll take ‘em out I know what they’re looking for We’ll draw a new line with today We’re heaven-bound So high that we don’t care Straight through the skyline in a day Put ‘em in the back Tied across the chest Hold ‘em on the ground So the air still flows Looking for the blue eyes Hock ‘em for a good price Back into the hole that we all know

Holidays on the Run (free) 03:33
Oh my pretty thing, wrapped in bling, you should spend a while by the sea We’ll put you on TV Party girls should see the world, they’ll all see your mugshot on the screen It’s a game to me You strayed the path, screwed the signs, now you scream, ‘let me out tonight!” Baby don’t you worry – it won’t help you anyway It’s just a joke on your mother who still thinks you’re alive Now we’re just bad kids, we keep it hid, focused on the ground we take the sky That’s how we survive On the airline through space and time, crashing in the Palace of the Brine That’s how we survive You tour the world in magazines, haunting our sororities Steal the spotlight from the war – those ugly amputees It’s just a joke on your mother who still thinks you’re alive You tour the world in magazines, haunting our sororities Steal the spotlight from the storm – that drowned rat New Orleans It’s just a joke on a country who still thinks you’re alive Reagan’s dead, we’re away, cruising on a holiday No one’s watching, now we can settle down It’s just a joke on your mother who still thinks you’re alive

about

The Daily Pravda Boston, Massachusetts

Rock music, post everything. Set in Boston and sometimes the West. Q: Glam without the glitter? A: Seventies without the beards. We play both kinds of music. There's nothing else to do.

Influenced by the New Romantic Post-Punk family tree (Suede, Echo and the Bunnymen, Smiths, Psychedelic Furs), American indie (Pixies, Sunny Day Real Estate), and glam classics like Bowie and Queen.
