The College Tapes (b​-​sides)

by Free Parking!

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Alas! The angels would weep, for all the members of Free Parking! were to attend different schools during the year!

    In their free time, Brendan, Jesse, Bo, Cody, and yes, even little Trevor would record demos, sometimes by themselves (and sometimes with each other) for later reference and use. These are the tapes collected.

    Being as the tapes are mostly demos, we have decided to provide them here free of charge. Please enjoy these snippets for what they are.

Oh I said no But what’s for sure I didn’t want you to go Only so many kinds of sorry I can be ‘fore you blow Go get a life and get a job and trap another guy Find an ex-con and give idyllic married life a try I won’t be stupid Junior Cupid blowing kisses your way Not Errol Flynn, not Cary Grant, I’m Brendan Steere-Me-Away But in the end I’m making movies and alone you sit Wondering what happened to your life? What became of it? Cuz it was not your fault but mine my dear You told me many times when you would hold me near This means nothing at all, it’s just nice to have you here. Drying up my phone lines Talking through the night time From New York, to Nepal Transatlantic red eye Feeling so alive I think I must be juiced You still sittin back at home while I am cutting loose? You got no brain to go with weight on your chest and ass? Some people like a girl with personality or class Because you had me once, and then you threw it away You traded every girl’s dream for someone who’s twice your age You were given a life that was complete and new Thank god you dumped me when you did And I’m not stuck with you Because my wings will melt, and I’ll be surely flayed I’ll get tossed inside what is lost and betrayed Another bloody mess to add to your cavalcade

Launchpad McQuack (free) 02:03
I can't be sure but I think I heard you Crawl through the door You didn't say a word and I think you tried to go to bed But instead you went to the floor You been out drinking with other boys again Telling them "no we are only friends" Making out and making noise! Oh stop pretending that this isn't really ending I will stop resenting you when you stop resenting me! Oh oh oh! I waited up late, maybe a bit too late Until you came in. Where do I end and where do you begin? You been out partying with guys I never met Drinking beer and smoking cigarettes Killing brain cells and killing me!

Our Eyes 03:42
When the stars align in our eyes I could never look away All around us fireflies in this sacred place And I know that I could always trust you And I know you'd never, let me down Tonight might be our last chance To have the time of our lives So don't live this down Back and forth we sway through the night Right under the moon Every glance a perfect sight This midnight of June And I hope you'd never leave this or me And I hope you'd never, let me down Tonight might be our last chance To have the time of our lives So don't live this down And I hope you could always trust me And I know you would never let me down

I'm not telling you the world would end on Tuesday I'm not telling you that I'm always right While the kids are all outside, we'll look up to the sky I'll tuck you in for that long nuclear night And now they're rolling out that nuclear parade I for one just cannot stomach this charade From New York to the depths of the black sea This mutual destruction is not for me! Well I don't think that anyone should live forever But I was hoping we would make it through the week While you're saying your goodbyes, I'll be longing for your eyes There won't be much earth left for the meek Cuz now they're rolling up that Hollywood parade I for one just cannot stomach this charade From the Kremlin to the depths of the black sea This worldwide suicide is not for me (Jitterbug!) I thought that we would make it through September Late October at the very least While you are dying in my arms I'll be praying they disarm I'll be holding you through the big sleep uhhhhhhnononoNO There's not much here left to say, But I don't wanna die today This whole MAD is not for me!!

Mi amore, mi corazon Desnuda eres tan simple como una de tus manos lisa, terrestre, minima, redonda, transparente tienes lineas de luna, caminos de manzana desnuda eres delgada como eltrigo desnudo Desnuda eres azul como la noche en Cuba tienes enreaderas y estrellas en el pelo desnuda eres enorme y amarilla como el verano en una iglesia de oro Mi amore, mi corazon...

Same as I'll Replace You from our album 'Paul'

S.T.E.W. 02:33
(ooo ooo faster baby, you know how to make it crazy.) And I don't want you to let me go. I never wanted to let you go, but now it's over and you should know that I am all you ever wanted and now you want some more. From A to Z you were just not for me. Get close to my body and you will see that there's more to this than just physically. It's more than your conscious can take. You say you're real, but you're really just fake; With a lack of love and a tongue for lust. I'm standing here in a cloud of your dust, wondering who I can trust. Just leave. (oops)
