about

Grease if it was set in hospice care.

lyrics

I tuck my skin into my waistband
I can't find my apartment
I haven't seen my children
The nurse's name is Mildred
I know
Darling, I know

Well I talk a little backwards
But only 'cause my back hurts
I used to fight the Nazis
Now all I play is Yahtzee
I know
Darling, I know

You're not the man you were
I know
But I'll go first
Tell me a joke
But then he said, he said

Oh Miss would you please dance with me?
I know your teeth aren't very pretty
I'd like to come and dance with you
I know your hair on-top is thinning
Oh miss would you please touch my head
It's so cold ever since it all left
I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest
And I won't make your heart a mess
We don't have long left

They don't have any tapioca
I wanna do the polka
Can't taste the Coca-Cola man
And I got no Apollonia
You're scared
Baby I'm scared

Well I don't know what her name is
She looks like someone famous
She says she is my true love
But I don't know what her name is
It's me
Darling, it's me

You've got to learn your place
I know
Next stop's the grave
I know, I know
But then he said, he said

Oh Miss would you please dance with me?
I know your teeth aren't very pretty
I'd like to come and dance with you
I know your hair on-top is thinning
Oh miss would you please touch my head
Been so long ever since it all left
I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest
And I won't make your heart a mess
We don't have long left

Oh miss would you please touch my head
Been so long ever since it all left
I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest
And I won't make your heart a mess
We don't have long left

They'd like to play us off the stage (They'd like to play us off the stage)
They won't remember us anyway (They won't remember us anyway)
I'm scared to death of what come next (I'm scared to death of what comes next)
Don't know if I'll see my love again
We don't have long left

about

Mary Shelley Brooklyn, New York

Punk music you can dance to. That’s what you get from the genre-hopping, instrument-swapping members of Mary Shelley. Post- punk rhythms are imbued with elements of dance/disco beats, shoegaze, hip-hop and more, while influences stretch across generations, sounds and styles. Always, the electric 4-piece scraps rules in favor of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like the last. ... more
