[00:20.207]And I load it upstairs, just to load it downstairs
[00:25.718]and I load it in to a windowless room for 60RMB an hour
[00:30.440]So I can feel some power, so I can try some ideas
[00:35.279]So I can put words over beats that will be forgotten by the end of the year.
[00:40.493]And I untangle leads, yell until my throat bleeds
[00:45.760]Breathe in the mould and replace broken strings
[00:50.727]That I bought the day before and carried home in the storm
[00:55.744]Put in the guitar case with pliers and band aids
[01:00.876]And we practice the set, try to pick our best songs
[01:05.733]Check what time we’re expected there and what time we’re on
[01:11.004]Tangle the leads again and load it upstairs
[01:15.905]Drag it home over worn out bones just to get it on stage
[01:20.992]But the girl in the blue dress, keeps talking through my set
[01:31.417]And the louder I go, well the louder she gets
[01:42.290]And I stare at my frets, try to put one or two together that could help me, help me, help me to connect
[01:47.869]But no matter who I am or where I’m going or what I’ve seen I guess I’ll never impress, the girl with the blue dress.
[02:01.004]They said sound check was at 6, but I get there at 5
[02:08.386]and why the fvck is the first band still sound checking at a quarter to 9?
[02:14.111]Watch them play the same beats and try to find time to eat
[02:18.652]But they promise they’ll be done soon as I slump in my seat
[02:23.790]Sitting in a shadowed corner when the organiser said
[02:29.278]Let’s wait for more bodies, let’s wait for more heads
[02:34.347]Let’s wait, let’s wait, let’s wait for more crowd
[02:39.468]Walk on stage and hope our songs make our parents proud
[02:44.277]But the girl in the blue dress, keeps talking through my set
[02:54.685]And the louder I go, well the louder she gets
[03:05.290]And I stare at my frets, try to put one or two together that could help me, help me, help me to connect
[03:15.986]But no matter who I am or where I’m going or what I’ve seen I guess I’ll never impress, the girl with the blue dress.
