Maniacal Laughter

The Bouncing Souls Maniacal Laughter Lyrics
1.All Of This And Nothing

They try to tell you how thing's should be,
how to think, what to wear and
what bands to see. Know your enemy.
Revolution on tv that's a bunch of
shit to me they don't know about you or me.
Know your enemy. They don't
know about you or me no matter what they say
to be they don't know about
you or me the contradictions and
hypocracy they don't know about you or me..

know your enemy. They don't know about
you or me no matter what they say
to be they don't know about you or me.


2.The Ballad of Johnny X

Johnny says he's bound by only six stirngs to this world
Johnny says he'll keep them always one turn out of tune
Johnny never listens to the kids that say
Johnny X ain't never done the right thing anyway

Johnny wears his leather like a crown of thorns
Johnny spends alot of time wishing he was never born
Johnny waits at journal square and tells himself again
Johnny, you're the patron saint of spitting in the wind

Johnny's got all the right scars but he'll never learn from them
Johnny's past is his guide but he can't remember where he's been
Johnny looks up through the steam of his caffine and says
'Life's a train I barely caught just to find out I ain't got the
fare'

I got my records of the King to keep me
The red-red wine in the air is drifting
Four chords and the spite to use them
And just enough wisdom to ignore the truth


3.Moon Over Asbury


4.Quick Chek Girl

The first Wednesday morning I saw her there
Smiling at me with her blue eyes and curly hair
I couldn't wait till next week to make the stop
See her at the quick check paper drop.

Every Wednesday we'd count the papers
We'd have a laugh at the people in their suits
No one seemed to notice how she was different
But I did and I knew. Yeah, I knew. I knew. Yeah, I knew

Another Wednesday came it seemed it was right
So I wrote her a note that I hoped she would like
Dear Kiah would you like to go with me
To the boardwalk what fun it will be

We'll eat cotton candy and we'll get french fries with vinegar
We'll get a plate of funnel cake then we'll go up on the zipper

Look out on the ocean and puke it all up
All the people will scream we can have a laugh what do you say?

That's what it said in the note.
Another week went by and she never called
Another week came and she wished she had
She just broke up with her fiancée

Things were kinda crazy with her I said I understood
Things were kinda crazy with her but I said I understood

Another week went by and she never called
But I thought about the way she looked at me
And I said to myself maybe...

I pulled into the quick check at 6am to see the sun coming up
When I walked in Kiah wasn't there.
The manager said she quit she isn't here
Do you want me to help you count the papers?


5.Headlights Ditch

I want a beer and I want it now
I want a cigarette and I want it now

I want these things from time to time
I want these things and I don't ask why
I want these things and I want them now
I want these things and I want them now

I want a beer and I want it now
I want a cigarette and I want it now
I wanna play a show and I want to now
I want a girl and I want her now


6.Here We Go

Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

We were riding north to Chicago on route 65
We'd played the first show on a tour of 45
Limey Shawn and Bryan rode in the truck 16 miles away
Me, Shal, Pete and Lamar thumbed down the ramp of exit 158

The smell of farm and diesel fuel it burned in the 3:00 sun
16 miles to the garage with a bottle of water and our thumbs
Dead bottle caps buds and birds we passed on the way
Who's gonna pick up 4 punks in indiana on Sunday

Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

'The diagnosis wasn't good' is what Don the ford guy said
Stuck in indiana for a week cuz the bus was dead
24 hour white castle 25 cent refills for a while
We didn't know what to do with no money riding down the jewel of
the denial

Loaded with our sleeping bags we hitched a ride to town
We ran into some punky kids, bought some beers, they showed us
around
Under a bridge by the river, we got drunk and sang Clash songs
We were saved just in time by the sonic iquana

Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!


7.Lamar Vannoy

He was only 16 and he knew he wasn't like anyone else Listening
to his records in his room he knew something had to change
somewhere or he would go insane but when some years slipped by
and he still felt the same. people and money came and went but
the only thing that stayed the same were the feelings he felt
when those records played he drinks till he falls down and his
name is Lamar Vannoy he's looking for something and he's gonna
find it Oi Oi Oi Oi and his name is Lamar Vannoy. Me and Lamar
in NYC on the avenue talking about nothing new with a bag of
brew the New York wind will blow and he will wears his engineer
boots motorcycle jacket black jeans nowhere to go nothing to do
so much has gone wrong and so much is bad but sharing this music
with Lamar there is so much we have he drink's and think's about
a girl who lies and his name is Lamar Vannoy he'll wake up and
go to work with a swollen brai


8.Born To Lose

Lyricist:Brown Frankie (usa 1)

Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
All my dreams have only caused me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose I can't believe you're gone
It's so hard to face that empty dawn
All my life I've always been so blue, blue that is
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

There's no use to dream of happiness
All I see is only loneliness
And all my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you


9.The Freaks, The Nerds And The Romantics

i got a song stuck in my head walking down street #9 i sing it
out loud with my friends and were all having a good time we all
waited for weeks now we're hangin on the street in NYC we gotta
go to the show even though we're all underage. Outside the
firehall in PA it rained on 300 kids all day when the cops shut
it down no one went away we're gonna play no matter what they
say. 3 or 4 people showed up in Alburquerque the alternator died
somewhere between Mankato and Rapid city Strangers in some
strange lands in LA the enchiladas made us sick but that's ok.
Growing up we didn't wanna be like them it was tough to know who
were our friends killing time playing basements way back when in
a lot of ways nothing's changed from now and then some say
they've been left out i wonder why they still hang around i
wonder where these sure things could be then i realized that
somehow i found them in me we're gonna play no matter what they
say.


10.No Rules

You gotta do what you gotta do
Sometimes you eat what's in front of you.
Yeah so we'll drink a beer or two
It's not what you say it's what you do
No rules it's not what you say
It's what you do. Were not 'nailed to the
X' or swill in the gutter we just follow
Our hearts from one moment to
Another punk is this and punk is that words
Are lame and words are crap
Inhibitions repressed and correct,
Vegan reich? what the heck! no rules!
It's not what you say it's what you do.


11.Argyle

I know I'm not a bad guy when I try to do what's right
Everyone who comes to me, don't understand or see my plight
Everything I've ever done, all the plans I've had in sight
Always missed and gone wrong in a way until I gave up and said
alright

Let me alone cause no one wants to be
Hanging around with someone messing up like me
I guess my way isn't good enough
When I try I just keep on wrecking stuff

It seems everybody knows but me
How to go, what to do, and where to be
Everywhere I go they all talk the same
They don't even have to try, they make me feel so lame

Friends and jobs have come and gone
No matter what I do, it goes on and on
I wonder if you sometimes feel this way
And do you lay awake at the end of the day

When I lose, every time I win, cuz no one will ever be
Messing up stuff and doing things wrong quite like me
No one will ever be like me
No one will ever be like me


12.The BMX Song

If I had money I'd buy a new BMX

It's a long walk through the city in the rain
And it's along walk from train to train

If I had money I'd buy a new BMX

We'll build a jump and do some tricks
And try to impress some chicks

Then we'll put on some really cool dark shades
And run over all the dorks with rollerblades

If I had money I'd buy a new BMX

Crossups
Tabletops
Endos, curb endos
Timmy Judge!

Get rad!

If I had money I'd buy a new BMX
