I’ve got friends I’ve never met People ‘round the country are giving me the bends They say things they don’t mean Cause we’re all stuck in this game, musical food chain Good things come to those who wait Got caught in the rain, leave me out to dry Martyred on the inside, too broke up to cry I’ll be left to hang if it’s all the same to you Keep me in your pocket and I’ll salivate for truth Good things come to those who wait Good things come to those who wait on tables Hey man, maybe it won’t be long, until they all sing your songs I’ve got friends I’ve never met Careful what you say boy, don’t bite the hand that mends Good things come to those who wait Good things come to those who wait on tables Hey man, maybe it won’t be long, until they all sing your songs

I’ve got real problems They’re hanging from the ceiling and I won’t absolve them I’ve got real problems, I’ve got real problems I’ve got a wife to be She sits in her bedroom, she’s thinking us over I’m a small town know-it-all Always causing us heartache, so much heartbreak. I’ve got real problems, but I won’t solve them I’ll keep them down below, where I know you’ll never go I’ve got real problems, but I won’t solve them I’ll keep them down below, where I know you’ll never go Where I know you'll never I’ve got real problems I’ve got fake problems They’re sitting in a room and they’re telling tall tales My problems got problems, I’ve got fake problems My loved ones left town They packed up their things and they left at sundown I turned on my family I danced on their ashes, those feelings were massive I’ve got fake problems, who wants to solve them? I’ll keep them down below, where I know you’ll never go I’ve got real problems, but I won’t solve them I’ll keep them down below, where I know you’ll never go I’ve got real problems, but I won’t solve them I’ll keep them down below, where I know you’ll never go Where I know you'll never

Don’t believe in faith, got a faith miracles won’t wake Found no use in truth, I’m running, running, running, running Towards the truth I’m not running from the dark, I’m not running from the law I’m not running from you fools, I’m running… I'm running, running, running, running Away from you Don’t believe in ghosts, got no sheets up on my head Found no use in truth, I’m running, running, running, running Away from the truth I’m not running from the dark, I’m not running from the law I’m not running from you fools, I’m running… I'm running, running, running, running Away from you Running, running, running, running... Towards the light I’m not running from the dark, I’m not running from the law I’m not running from you fools, I’m running I'm running, running, running, running Towards the truth

When I was young I didn’t know why, I wore my heart on my sleeve When I was just a little boy, I was in love with you, I was in love with you Remember when youth shook our bones? Age came upon us like an ancient plague It was the second coming of you, guess all the rumors were true You were the judge, I rested my case But the jury they hung around, they kept the faith Remember when youth shook our bones? Remember when! Remember when youth shook our bones? Youth shook our bones all night long…

about

This is how the original Teenage Kicks 7" release was meant to be heard, as an EP under the Ulysses & The Siren moniker. We recorded this group of songs over a week in late 2009. In the classic style of Teenage Kicks, the band suddenly imploded over the course of a weekend. Jeff and I decided to uproot ourselves and move to Toronto where we restarted the band with Patrick replacing Christian on guitar. Only two of these four songs were put out as the first Teenage Kicks release.
