Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The - A Pretty Sad Excuse Lyrics

Batman, I've gotta get right out there...

2019 AND STILL JAMMIN

how are they still doing better than their early 90's hits??????

Ladies and gentlemen, This is what living with a anxiety/panic disorder is like:P

i like it. a few borrowed melodies but its pleasant to listen to

My personal fav from an armada of great songs. What a band!!!

💕 💕 💕

flippin Jesus on a trampoline!

"Jumpin Jesus on a pogo-stick! The burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT A BURROW OWL?!"
-- the dead milkmen

5:06 that solo never gets old amazing

Anti-Venomous never gets old

How the heII did I not notice this song untiI now? It's dope!

Wematanye , play this when I croak.

half the time!

The title could be the title of my autobiography .I fucking love you guys.

I love this band so very much. they've helped me through some pretty rough times in my life. I owe them a great debt. thank you guys, seriously.

I swear the Bosstones are one of the only bands I can honestly say have progressively gotten better with each new album. And I've been listening ever since Devil's Night Out. Much love for the Bosstones \m/

For the most part I agree with you, although I don't think Pay Attention was quite as good as Let's Face It.

blink en heck that's good

I feel like such a failure when i'm sure that i succeeded :-(

have this album for more than 4 years now and it is just unbelievable that I overlooked this song, never realized how amazing it was... until the end of their show last night.

Same here missed it until the live show and now it's a fav

I've been listening to this band ever sense I was born and I still love them no matter what

Makes me see myself sad in the dark drinking and being worthless, then thinking i gotta change it all, and in the end, i just fall back to drink ....... love this song

Reminds me of me while i was still drinking.

@frankmefrank wright the screenplay, dude.

So sick

Sweet tune! xx

cm punk

What about him?

3:01
Just Sayin..

Kutztown is not across the Globe ya know.

@RisingAboveMyself

Or died.

the part were it speeds up you can almost see yourself get up from contemplating life and dashing down the streets to the one person who understands you only to find out that the person just took off in their flight.

Easily the best song off the album. Absolutely fantastic song. Good, meaty length too.

And a great way to end the Hometown Throwdown :n)

@JosefSpeed Nvm, I already sat down one evening to listen and write em down :D

@goonzies
i'm a sir and you too have good taste

Hey, toxic toast is my favorite song too. Weird, you don't hear that one as much... you have good taste sir! (or ma'am)

Does anybody know the lyrics of this song or where to get them?

I feel so disappointing more times than I don't.
I feel like such a let down and I'm nervous that I won't
Deliver when I'm called upon to step up when I'm needed.
I feel like such a failure when I'm sure that I've succeeded.

I call myself an outcast, more than likely I am not.
An outsider on the inside and I hope I don't get caught.
I feel like an impostor who should not be on the roster.
Someone understands this and of course I've almost lost her.
If I cherish or I value something then it's safe to say
I will dismantle or destroy it and I've always been that way.

A pretty sad excuse that is fostering a sad existence.
The thought of altering myself just meets my own resistance.
A pretty sad excuse that is fostering a sad existence.
Half the time I'm petrified and I'm terrified the rest.
If I'm not being selfish than I'm probably depressed.

What I haven't butchered here will probably be botched.
I tried pulling the wool down there where everybody watched.
Only the best intentions did I mention I'm not sure.
Someone understands this she's got one foot out the door.
In the interest of the time left and my own as well.
There is more that I will just ignore or just keep to myself.

A pretty sad excuse that is fostering a sad existence.
The thought of altering myself just meets my own resistance.
A pretty sad excuse that is fostering a sad existence.
Half the time I'm petrified and I'm terrified the rest.
Half the time I'm petrified and I'm terrified the rest.
And if I'm not being selfish than I'm probably depressed.

The prophecy was self fulfilling.
And God knows who else would be willing?
With nothing but to respect.
Who would want to risk their neck?

And who among us would do that?
Just look at what we are looking at.
Take in what we are taking on.
Then look around now, and they're all gone.

I'm gonna go back there, I've gotta get out of here.
And I'll be headed your way, you know that I will one day.
Back there, I've gotta get out of here.
And I'll be headed your way, you know that I will one day.

What if it all was above bored?
Perhaps our faith could be restored.
And then the healing would begin.
We'd get to feeling we could win.

If we could only feel that way.
And what's the limit? Who's to say?
Who knows how far? Who knows how hard?
The only real possession is the sky.

I'm gonna go back there, I've gotta get out of here.
And I'll be headed your way, you know that I will one day.
Back there, I've gotta get out of here.
And I'll be headed your way, you know that I will one day.

One day.

I'm not sure how this came to be but it's a way to carry on.
Someone understands this and of course she's almost gone.

nasty song!
this and toxic toast my favorite songs

They're back!
