Downtown 04:43
Hold my arms in tight and my eyes so fixed I can't shake it off, it sticks to me So grey, all the way, spread out for as far as I can see When my ambition's in my fist I say... Another winter in Salt Lake City gave me a sore throat When I get so desperate for... The girls say, "Keep going!", I've got to pay oh man I've got to feel it They say to keep young keep crying I've never shed a tear till this evening When it gets so beautiful I wrap around, hold on tight Lock my arms, lock my legs and keep breathing Just to stay on top I keep walking slow Just to calm down, make everything into pixels How could I get any smaller? My friends say, when I'm drunk I can hold it still for a minute It keeps coming down to this, it keeps coming around and around I won't go back down You 'gonna plug me Down town, I'm 'gonna glow bright red for another hour You still believe it's the truth? When I saw what I saw for the first time it took away my breath Now you know what I meant to be And you still take a piece of me when I break Down Town, live the worst parts over again And you'll hold what you catch and you'll love it till the day you die

Another One 03:14
Break the window pane Dip a shard in the gas Hold it tight in your hand If you thing you've had the last chance to cut someone and make it hurt Don't you know that's not how it works? 'Gonna go on and on and on to cut yourself up on another one Say the right thing this time You put it in and you pull it out Take a chance on another one All your long term plans Tangled up on the ground Still tied to your hands Swing it all 'round and 'round the knife 'Never felt nothing till sunday night Don't know just how to make it right 'Gonna eat sh** until your done taking a chance on another one Say the right thing this time You put it in and you pull it out Cut yourself on another one Taking a chance on another one

Black Knots 05:32
This time it might be safe to remember it a different way Now to find out how you stand on me Because I know how you stand on yourself Because you never know how the clots and the black knots Are going to hurt you till the years go by Hey! Is this how you did it? Is this what you held back We've been over this now infinite times Hoping and praying it will never come back Don't you know that when you lay on me you lay right on yourself Still the water rises- No surprises And Still the water flows out onto the floor Eyes wide open and standing up straight You walked right over and you opened up the drapes It's the best thing you ever did- The sun came right in Now you've got to hold it closed and wrap it up with a black knot Black knots wrapped around and around In flowers and braids like they're raised by the sound Of the room bleaching white as the sun came right in I'll never stop blinking now The sun came right in
4.
It's about time to turn out the light Put yourself under the blanket You've got a lot to do early You can't earn the wage that you bought with your age You can't just take that time back And you can't just turn the page When I was seventeen, I had a mind just like a fresh roll Used it up one wipe at a time So just decided to never ever shit Break it up now, take it up now, shake it up now Show that you care Show that you can make it happen The walking dead, the get out of bed And there's nothing you can do And a nap won't work and the sun's going down
5.
Leaves are falling, it's no surprise since my eyes have been red since the spring It's so hard to get over this thing When the fires are burning who do you start calling Winter's coming, you're going to be all alone with nowhere to go Did yourself a hole tonight, maybe never come out again 'Someone to tell you what to do? Baby, I'll say it all again You're pulling on me You twist me, and I know what I want I'm going to get what I want I care so much about you, further and further each and every day Put it in a hole tonight; tell you what's going to make it right Pick it up and hold it tight- Baby you won't let me down tonight Can you see it? So long never touching you Alright, you knew just what to do 'Should have stuck to policy, but you promised it to me And I know what I want I'll bend you
6.
With a Hug 03:18
I came home last night same as always, so drunk With some hugs and some kisses, her lips don't make no misses This is how it always starts out for the only good five minutes She said, "What did you say!" I got an arm full of scratches, I saw the bruises on your leg I had to tell my friends in the morning how I pushed you down in self defense You push me over, I'll knock you down Over and over with a kiss honey At the club I was fighting- Had to tell your friends all to back off I want to take it ouside again- 'Got more alcohol left to work off This is what I was on the edge of every time I looked over Don't think I'll ever come back now and I won't let you go Every week we go fighting and every night I say "F**k you!" And after all of the biting, I think I'm the one who deserves you Hold on tight You push me over, I'll knock you down Over and over with a kiss honey
7.
I wanna climb in the trash to the sweet sound of a talented someone digging where the cash is When all that you've got is the credit that you gave yourself with your very last drop of faith, it makes you start to hate The one's who did it all with a *********** and never come I paid out a grand with hopes that maybe someday someone else would pay it Ended up feeling ripped off and left out Because not in the past, and not in the future, will I ever stop feeling like I'm gonna loose her if I don't do it all with my *********** Here I come Listen to the sound, it won't come back around You can take it or you can leave it- The curtain's coming down Come while you go down If you do it all with a ***********, it's enough
8.
I don't want to wait until I have to annihilate you You've got me on the ground looking up at you You step a little closer every time you do It's been five years I'm going down again Bury it till I can't hear the sound again With mad fervor be done! I'm gonna be the last one standing in the middle of everything flat all around again Gonna tie myself up- Gonna tie my friends up Dip us in hot wax and ignite the tops of us You said I was too cool- Not good enough for you How dare you say that to my face? It's been a long time and I'm scratching again Pay attention while I turn myself inside out for the batch of you Look at all the jewels in there! They're falling out everywhere! Did you know it took that long to make them? Don't you put me down- I'll put you back inside and I'll spin it Don't you ever say that to me again One Two Three and I'll annihilate you This is how I masturbate you You won't ever put it down- You must have been a cutter One Two Three I'm sorry I am it Just one more reason to hate you now You won't see what put's you down until this happens to you It's too late and you won't know
9.
You're Dirty 04:08
I let a bad thing slip out, I said it all wrong Is that the way you do it when the chips are down? I just wanted to have all the things that I want 'Flew right down the street with you tied right to the front Did you leave the gas on? Did you lock the doors? Did you find the right door? Did you go right in? Did you see what they're doing in there? It goes right in 'Leaves a spring in your step, 'leaves a wet rag on your eyes 'Turns me right off like a nerve, 'turns me right on like a switch Now I see in to the past and I see into the future Did you ever know? Cound you ever be right there in the way, Looking right past me Like nobody knows what pop music shows you Dripping down, soaking you, you're dirty now Don't you be ashamed, your friends all do it Don't you worry none, there aint nothin' to it Go one two three, you know it's what you want Making it out the back, making it right out the front Now let your pants slip down to your feet Now let you shirt slip from your shoulders Now let you head slip down to the bed Beauty's only skin deep, we got such thick skin Like nobody knows what pop music shows you Dripping down, soaking you, soiling you, dilute you and spoiling you Just like I'd like to do, your dirty

about

A few years after playing with Eli Morrison and Nate Pysher on guitar and drums (and producing the album "Announcing"), Red Bennies had many lineup changes and no full length albums to show. This album was a remastered compilation of the best from the two limited run EP's "Yes It's Lo-Fi 2 'With A Hug'", and "Watch Your Language" which came out during that time, as well as a few rehearsal recordings. All song were played and recorded live. Paul Butterfield made that nice cover art.
