The Good China Non-Album Releases Lyrics
1.We Knew That We Had To Leave

The bar queues a showcase of Dangerfield threads,
The DJ's spinning This Charming Man again,
All the cool kids saying that they already knew it,
Singing I'm so fucking indie, I don't even listen to music.

A map of the entire world,
To pinpoint just where we are,
We know every song word for word,
And we're playing air guitar, GUITAR!

They came in carrying buckets coming from the south,
Until every stovepipe was washed out,
And every A-line skirt was met with a different crowd,
And every popped collar their wardrobe allowed.

We're sticking to the floor at the Rochester again,
They've watered down all the beer,
And nobody is dancing, DANCING!

I wasn't asking for a sales pitch,
I wanted to ask if you could teach,
Teach me how to use a Holga,
We could spend the late afternoon taking long exposures.

We go back every year just to see if it's the same,
'Cause of some sentimental value we're trying to recover,
Like a T-shirt in the closet that belonged to an ex-lover.

We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again,
They've watered down all the beer,
And nobody is dancing,

We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again,
They've watered down all the beer,
And nobody is dancing,

We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again,
They've watered down all the beer,
And nobody is dancing,

We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again,
They've watered down all the beer,
And nobody is dancing, DANCING!

We knew that we had to leave,
We knew that we had to leave,
Everyone we knew had gone,
We knew that we had to,
We knew that we had to,
We knew that we had to leave


2.You Looked Better A Brunette

Hide in the corner of the living room,
Quietly hope your parents won't find you,
The penny hadn't dropped,
And you weren't aware,
That the music stopped and you were left with no chair.

All of the music stopped,
All of the music stopped,
And you're left standing bare.

We're all made in the dark,
You cut your hair short to,
Make friends with all the punks,
And now it clogs,
Up in your drainpipe,
And the bathroom begins to flood,
I preferred you when we met,
You looked better a brunette.

As i rolled over to switch off the bed light,
We hadn't made any eye contact all night,
You poisoned your tree to make way for the path,
And now the sun scorches brown all the long grass.

All of the music stopped
All of the music stopped
And you're left with no chair.

We're all made in the dark,
You cut your hair short to,
Make friends with all the punks,
And now it clogs,
Up in your drainpipe,
And the bathroom begins to flood,
I preferred you when we met,
You looked better a brunette.

In summer you were blonde,
In winter you were red,
In summer you were blonde,
In winter you were!

All of the music stopped!
All of the music stopped!
And you're left with no chair.

All of the music stopped!
All of the music stopped!
And you're left standing bare.


3.Marcio

Sorry i caught tails and left you with the head,
Sorry i laughed when i said that it looked like he was dead,
You never know how you react 'til you're in the shoes just
stepped in shit,
In hindsight i could i say i'm sorry the reaction didn't fit.

You don't know what you'll do until it's done.

Sorry i didn't call you right away,
You can call it shock or stupidity it's all the same,
It wouldn't have made a difference anyway
But that won't stop me from beating myself up again and again

You don't know what you'll do until it's done.

Early check out before your time,
Jaw locked shut so as not to reveal your dentists smile,
Spider webs and honeycomb,
Veins like road maps to all the places you'll never go.

You don't know what you'll do until it's done,
Mistakes you'll make can never be undone.
