lyrics
So glad to be around, so sad to see me go.
Ya look me up and down but you say that, "maybe, I don't know."
And you don't mean it, but it's okay, I know.
The next week you are gone;
You gotta let me go
No remorse, no explanation.
I don't ask questions; I just get up and I go.
I'll run away again - far, far away
You'll say, "I told you so" for yet another day
So glad to feel so down
So sad you aren't around
And it's not so bad - I'm seeing you all over town

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
This Pittsburgh band's gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
