What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library



The rough edges are off as the Boston band tries a sophomore effort. Not that there was anything wrong with the debut. This one reached #3 on the U.S. charts, probably by the album cover alone, with the single of Let's Go making #14, and a follow up of It's All I Can Do not doing much. Only 1 throw away on here, some crap thing about Scooby-Do.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Shoo Be Doo

Best Track - It's All I Can Do

one too many times I fell over you
once in a shadow I finally grew
and once in a night I dreamed you were there
I canceled my flight from going nowhere

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

one too many times I twisted the gate
when I was crazy I thought you were great
I kept my renditions of you on the wall
where holiday romance is nothing at all

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

you wait in the wings like a Saturday flirt
protecting the judge, you don't want to get hurt
and once in a moment it all comes to you
as soon as you get it you want something new

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)
