lyrics

I saw the Devil down on Cookman Ave working a job that they said that I could have
I saw the Devil wearing product in his hair. He looked so good already, man, it was hardly fair.
The Devil's looking good tonight. The Devil feels all right!
I saw the Devil down on the Boardwalk
I stopped a minute so we could have a little talk
He told me he had bought a condominium down on Cookman so all his friends could come see him.
Come on down [x4].
I saw the Devil at a Live Nation show, he said 'Ohhhh I LOVE Monopoly so!"
We take the Boardwalk you take a stroll, we'll take the donut you take the hole! [x2]
The Devil's lookin' good tonight. Halloween 2013.
What's that? All the goblins and the witches seem scared ... what's that there? What do they fear?
Three lawyers and a witch are comin', the goblins and the witches start runnin. They're running down Cookman Avenue ... three lawyers and a realtor, what to do?
I saw the Devil down on Cookman Ave. [x2]
He's got a condo there, wants you all to visit. Come on down you hear?" Way down.

ONE ep
by Bareface

Solid songs & DIY, no nonsense recordings. Sweet. Joe Harvard
go to album
St. Sebastian of the Short Stage (EP)
by Franz Nicolay

This LP has a nicely boisterous cover of the Modern Lovers' "New England", plus some cool bell timbres & a neat story line on "Ballad of Hollis Mason Wadsworth Jr". The other tunes are cool too. Joe Harvard

Hopelessness
by 117

117 is the brainchild of Ben Ross, & Hopelessness aptly provides the same gritty, powerful, often wry material their live sets have become known for. Joe Harvard
