Music

Release Date: 11/23/2018

The self titled album JJAHBG is a product of the band’s long history and varied influences. The music is marked by JJAHBG’s signature disdain for genre continuity, creating a kaleidoscopic yet unified whole. The songs range from instrumentals to hip hop to psychedelic indie rock and the pop-punk. Several of the tracks have existed, at least lyrically, for many years, before finally being perfected for this release. Others were created much more recently, and with a much different lyrical and musical story. This history to the music offers listeners a unique perspective, each song a window into a different time and place for the band.

Lyrics

Break Yo Knees

There’s a girl named slate

She's quite good at basketball

But you better watch out

Because she just might break yo knees

There’s a girl named slate

She's quite good at basketball

But you better watch out

Because she just might break yo knees

There’s a girl named slate

She's quite good at basketball

But you better watch out

Because she just might break yo knees

There’s a girl named slate

She's quite good at basketball

But you better watch out

Because she just might break yo knees

the night the a-train rolled through town

I'm out of love

I'm on the floor

I don’t know where I'm going to get some more

I'm out of love

Don't ask me how

All because the A-Train rolled on through town

Gone through town

Well, I had me a baby

Pretty as can be

I told her that I loved her

So she said the same to me

That’s when A-Train flew in from Cali

And that’s the night my baby left me

My baby left me

I'm out of love

I'm on the floor

I don’t know where I'm going to get some more

I'm out of love

Don't ask me how

All because the A-Train rolled on through town

I'm out of love

I'm on the floor

I don’t know where I'm going to get some more

I'm out of love

Don't ask me how

All because the A-Train rolled on through town

Gone through town

I tried to bring her roses

And I tried to bring her gifts

But A-Train just disparaged them

With razor sharp wit

So I put up my dukes and challenged to a fight

And next thing that I knew he knocked out all the lights

Out all the what?

Out all the lights

I'm out of love

I'm on the floor

I don’t know where I'm going to get some more

I'm out of love

Don't ask me how

All because the A-Train rolled on through town

Gone through town

Can’t match his style

Can’t match his class

There ain't no way to match

That sculpted ass

I'm out of love

I'm on the floor

I don’t know where I'm going to get some more

I'm out of love

Don't ask me how

All because the A-Train rolled on through town

Gone through town

Can’t match his style

Can’t match his class

Can’t match his style

Can’t match his class

Can’t match his style

Can’t match that class

So how is a simple bluesman

Going to compete with that?

Beautiful dream

I close my eyes

You're there

The universe is your hair

I can't explain all the things that I've experienced

When I think I'm alone in darkness

You're a beautiful (Darkness)

Beautiful dream (Darkness)

You're a beautiful (Darkness)

Beautiful dream (Darkness)

You're a beautiful

Beautiful dream

You're a beautiful

Beautiful dream

I theorize, philosophize

But nothing helps

You feel so real

When I'm with you my hope swells

My hope swells

My hope swells

My hope swells

My hope swells

You're a beautiful (Darkness)

Beautiful dream (Darkness)

You're a beautiful (Darkness)

Beautiful dream (Darkness)

You're a beautiful

Beautiful dream

You're a beautiful

Beautiful dream

Let’s Jam

Yeah, we back

So where my bitches at?

Because I'm ready and willing to jam, my friend

Got plenty of green and I'm ready to spend

On gear, and beer, and instruments of fear

And don't you say I'm taking too far

Just stop for a minute, and hear this guitar

So feel that beat

Crank that heat

Hit that street

Because I don’t give a damn, y'all

Let’s jam

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa

You’re telling me you want to jam?

Yeah

Ok

I’ll tell you how I jam

Let you see the kind of person I am

Start by getting a pot of paint

Then throwing it the hell all over the place

On the ground and on the walls

Smear it on my face like some kind of war paint

And mid splash make a riff that never ends

Then walk away and never play it again

You got them toys in your grips

Tingle through your fingertips

And you're feeling kind of ready

Like its time to jam

Grab your weapon of choice

Let the mic hear your voice

Because now I know you're ready

To jam, jam, jam, jam, jam

Oh, no. Here comes A-Train

Hide the ladies

Looks like the calm before the storm

Jams been with me since I was born

Can't ignore this feeling

All I want to do is fucking jam

Cruising down the PCH

Chasing goats from outer space

There's no need to worry

There’s no need to hurry

Just fucking jam

My name is Captain Marc Anthony

But the ladies, they call me A-Train

Just fucking jam

You got them toys in your grips

And you’re feeling kind of ready

Grab your weapon of choice

Because now I know you’re ready

You got them toys in your grips

Tingle through your fingertips

And you're feeling kind of ready

Like its time to jam

Grab your weapon of choice

Let the mic hear your voice

Because now I know you're ready

Yeah, now I know you’re ready

Now I know you’re ready

To jam, jam, jam, jam, jam

Plug in the guitar

Plug in the bass

Plug in some port right in your face

We're jamming all night until the break of day

Then go outside and run around and play

Paint brush balanced between the teeth

And I pull my steam punk goggles over my eyes

And believe that I'm super fly

7 pM

It's 7PM your time

And I know that you're gone

Too long

And I can't help myself from wondering when

Your return will come

Will come

Will come

It’s 7PM my time

And I drink this wine

Because you're gone

So wrong

And I can't fill this space inside

I can't describe how I will go on

Go on

Go on

I can't see whats been bothering me

While the shadows are haunting me

I can't see whats been bothering me

While the shadows are haunting me

I can't see whats been bothering me

While the shadows are haunting me

I can't see whats been bothering me

While the shadows are haunting me

Greg does it for drugs

He get high like he joined the mile high club

Smoking that kush and doing those drugs

A pocket full of snacks and a court full of hoes

A bloodshot wink and off come those clothes

Mescaline

Amphetamines

PCP

Ecstasy

Greg smokes a pipe and rolls his weed

A handful of shrooms is all he needs

With a love for the drugs that won't be done

He got, he got, he got drugs

Greg’s got drugs

Or die trying

Greg does it for drugs

Greg does it for drugs

Mescaline

Amphetamines

PCP

Ecstasy

Greg does it for drugs

For drugs

Greg does it for drugs

For drugs

Greg does it for drugs

Or die trying

Greg does it for drugs

Greg smokes a pipe and rolls his weed

A handful of shrooms is all he needs

With a love for the drugs that won't be done

He got, he got, he got drugs

Leader

So it’s late at night

And we got to go now

We got to go

Because they can see what we’re

What we’re carrying now

What we’re carrying

Raised in a rough life

Childhood full of strife

Living on the edge of a knife

He’d give you those doe eyes

Hold onto you like a pro

Like a Jerry Rice, nice

Holding you tight

It would be all right

Whispering sweet nothings before the fight

When the walls come crumbling down

And it was all hell bound

Down, down down

He would be shredding it

Your heart

When you realize you shouldn't have done it

Screams of fright all throughout the night

Kick, scratch, punch, and bite

Prying those claws was like removing a contract clause

From Santana Moss

And those damn teeth

Damn clamp on your ass

He’s feeling a bit sass because it hurts like that

Because it hurts like that

Hurts like that

Hurts like that

My little mermaid

I’m like the connoisseur of the open ocean

Royal Captain Ahab, I cast my nets

Because I gots the gall to make them all my pets

To the likes to the heights

To the wonders of the Orient

I will spear them all with all five points

Like a starfish, all holey, good golly

Like a fucking blowfish

Like a fucking blowfish

Arms like Orion, dick like Poseidon

I'll spear all of you little fishies with my trident

Under the sea is where I be

Sharing a reef and a blunt with them ladies lovely

With smooth scales and raven hair

Shells on their titties and shoulders bare

Say I'll drown? Like I even care

Drag some dangerous women to my watery lair

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

You cant go wrong with pure danger

I'm the captain but I wont even try to save you

These bitches want to hang so they beg and plead

Sorry but you need sea legs, no knees

Tsing down my throat, and now I'm feeling wavy

Capsizing my ladies, no need to call the navy

So all aboard the A-Train ladies

My deck has room for all of y’all

I make that seabed shake, ocean quake

Leaving tsunamis trailing in my wake

Wearing nothing but kelp? I know you mean business

So give me some help, this must be sea sickness

More like ocean fever, because I'm a believer

I'm stacking that tuna like Justin Bieber

I’m going to wreck it for real

Anything in teal

Under the sea

Under the sea

Giggity

Watch out now, she’s a slippery one

Like whoa

Dive in the sea, you will see, my brother

Like whoa

You wanna stick them in a mermaids mouth

Like whoa

When she snaps that tail like a Kraken of a whip

Like whoa

You’ll be sprinting to take a dip

Like whoa

The waves roll above your head

To your downfall they lead

It was then that the heavens part their way

And you feel your soul say

Whoa

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Alright, we’re going to calm it down a little

Introducing, for her pleasure

The fuzziest of fuzzes

The Fuzz of the Sea

The Good Reverend of Love

Mmmmm, yeah Asia

Where the girls will persuade you

To spend those clams like water from a fire hose

Get crazy drunk, end the night with girls, oh ya dos

It’s pretty much the same in the sea

Except all the girls are missing pussy

But don’t you sweat, they got you covered

These Asian mermaids will get you smothered

With their big ol’ boobies all up in your face

Air and water, their breasts will replace

Helping you practice how to asphyxiate

But don’t stay too long, or else you’ll be bait

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

Come in to the sea

It is mermaidy

My love is like a bass beat

It’s like a herd of wild horses

Going romping in your head

Thunder rolling ever onward

It’s enough to wake the dead

China shaking in the cabinets

Windows rattle in their frames

Pictures falling in the hallway

You swear it’s driving you insane

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

It’s been going on since 6AM

And it seems to never cease

Now it’s setting off the car alarms

All the way down the street

Neighbors think that its an earthquake

Or a kid with sub woofers

But you're banging with that broomstick

Because you know it's me upstairs

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

Soundproof your windows

Cover your ears

There's no escaping

What's happening up here

Can't call the landlord

Because you just signed your lease

Back then you wondered

Why the rent was so cheap

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

My love is like a bass beat

the essence of brett

Brett has a surprise for you

Fun times, oh yes its true

So lately, if you’ve been feeling spent

What you really need is

Well my boy Brett was down with Watergate

So hes paying his debt to the state

So now that you see such a rarity

Brett is donating to charity

But don’t feel bad that Brett has been forced

He would do it even if he weren’t coerced

He treats his job as one big fete

Because what they need is

The essence of Brett

The essence of Brett

The essence of Brett

The essence of Brett

All alone in society

I don’t know, what's wrong with me

All my needs have not been met (What they need is)

What i need is

Young or old, ugly or hot

Brett is sure to hit with his best shot

So if its Christmas or even not

What you need is

What they need is

What they need is

What they need is

What they need is

The essence of Brett

The essence of Brett

The essence of Brett

The essence of Brett
