Your Mamma Wears Combat Boots
About the recording & credits
Recorded in Jack’s basement using an old cassette deck with two microphone inputs. We placed two microphones in the room and played the instrumental parts together live. We then overdubbed the vocals using a dual-cassette karaoke machine, before digitizing the tape onto a PC with an old boombox and auxiliary cable.
Credits: 1 T.B.A. — live instrumental performance; vocals overdubbed afterward. Recording location: Jack’s basement.

Tribute

Neverending Dream
I walk down my street Just thinking of all the dreams that are fading away What’s happened to me? And what did I do to make you feel this way I don’t know why I even do anything at all It all seems to come out wrong Why, oh, why can’t you forgive me now I’m stuck writing this terrible song --------------------------------------------------- Chorus: I’m stuck in this neverending dream What to do, what to say? I’m stuck in this neverending dream Why do I have to go on this way --------------------------------------------------- I’m down at the corner now Wishing I was with you, maybe I should just forget About you and me and what we had And everything we’ve ever done Then maybe we’ll meet again someday I hope this love doesn’t go away So now I’m saying goodbye ‘Cause I know you’re seeing another guy --------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: --------------------------------------------------- Break: Instrumental --------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: - 04
Our Drummer Was Abducted by Aliens
I went to school when I saw a guy He was being patted down by the FBI Then he was instructed Not to talk about how he was abducted By alien's that have landed They come from some kind of strange little planet I don't know why But I think that I know that guy --------------------------------------------------- Chorus: He was kicking and screaming as he left It looked like something was wrong I still remember the day that summer When I realized alien's abducted our drummer --------------------------------------------------- I went to area 51 to check it out But he was no where to be found I needed to find a place to hide So I had to sneak around to the side Everything looked normal until I came to this door And I wondered, what was it for? I walked right in and I felt sick When I saw the alien's abducting him into the ship --------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: --------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: Instrumental --------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: - 05
All of My Dreams Become Realities
Searching the streets for the one I love, Looking under every rock and even above. Every mountainside and every stream, If I don’t find her it’s gonna make me scream. I’ve checked the U.S. twice before, California right down to the Jersey Shore. Nothing Will Come between you and I, I got to make sure I don’t pass you by. ----------------------------------------------------------------- And I just don’t know what to do, Cause I can’t find you. Maybe you live far away I hope to find you someday ----------------------------------------------------------------- Went downtown to see if you were there, But you weren’t and it’s just not fair. Flying to the other side of the world, Trying to find that perfect girl. I don’t think I’ll ever find you, But I hope I do. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: Instrumental ----------------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: - 06
Attitude Problem
You think it’s easy to be me, but you just can’t understand How I have to put up with your attitude, it’s such a pain Sometimes I wonder how you could be so mean to me And not think you’re doing anything wrong I just can’t understand ----------------------------------------------------------- Chorus: What’s wrong with you Is it something that I did What can I do To make you change your act ----------------------------------------------------------- Now that I’ve told you, maybe you could change your ways Then we could move on and get away from these horrible days I don’t think you ever meant to do anything wrong But you did and now it’s time to move on ----------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: ----------------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: Instrumental ----------------------------------------------------------- Outro:4x If you don’t change your ways, you’ll never be with me - 07
Poser
Why does everyone think I’m a loser Just because I don’t skate they call me a poser I just don’t understand what’s the difference I was trying to fit in so it doesn’t make sense --------------------------------------------------- Chorus: I’ve tried to skate in the past But the board just wobbled and went too fast But when I finally got it to go I fell off and almost broke my toe --------------------------------------------------- I tried to explain it to all the kids But they say I’m stupid cause I can’t do it I feel so different from everyone else Because they can skate and they do it so well --------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: --------------------------------------------------- Break: Instrumental --------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: - 08
Last Laugh
I think today we said goodbye forever There’s never gonna be another moment to treasure We’re gonna go our separate ways Until you get over your stupid phase I’m gonna miss you, but I must move on But just remember when you break up, I’ll be gone And your whole life will start to fall apart You’ll just be another girl with a broken heart --------------------------------------------------- Chorus: I’ll be the one with the last laugh ‘Cause you’ll be crying in the end You’ll just want another friend But you won’t get one in the ending path ----------------------------------------------------------- No one will comfort you in the end You’ll have to start your life all over again ‘Cause no one will like you anymore You’re just gonna star another war With someone else who’s just like me You’ve done this so many times, everyone will see Just how mean you really were You’ll be known as the loser girl who is a jerk ----------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: ----------------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: Instrumental ----------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: - 09
The Cartoon Song
I’m watching cartoons in my house Eating popcorn as I sit on the couch There’s just so many different ones to watch Either Ren & Stimpy or Sponge Bob Looney Toons could be the one If I put on channel 7 I could watch “Doug” I’m watching Shaggy and Scooby Doo In Spanish on channel 22 ----------------------------------------------------------- Chorus: There’s just so many different cartoons to watch And I can’t get enough of it I watch from 7 a.m. to 12 at night Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever grow away from them ----------------------------------------------------------- Saturday morning is the best I watch Winnie the Pooh and Recess Then I turn on channel 5 To catch the early cartoon vibe Dexter’s Laboratory But that’s just another story Freddie Flintstone & Barney Rubble I gotta see them get into trouble ----------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: ----------------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: Instrumental ----------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: - 10Alone

Joe Henry
There's a kid named Joe Henry Who lives down the block from Jack He goes kayaking and likes to Sing "What's My Age Again?" really fast He's always playing with finger boards And remote control jets But I don't understand why he's always Dancing to "Can't Touch This" in his baggy pants ----------------------------------------------------------- He bought a $200 keyboard But he doesn't know how to play He likes to watch our band practice Almost every single day He always goes camping In the woods for fun Then he goes to Dorney Park To keep cool from the hot sun ----------------------------------------------------------- Chorus: His names Joe Henry and he's very strange I don't know why everyone calls him names He plays Power Rangers the video game One day he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame ----------------------------------------------------------- When I first met him I didn't know who he was He was just the strange kid Who hung in the back because He never talked The whole day I was there He just sat down as if He just didn't care at all ----------------------------------------------------------- Repeat Chorus: ----------------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: We might make fun of him but that's Okay He just laughs at it with nothing to say He lives his life like nobody does He always smiles for some reason because -----------------------------------------------------------Repeat Chorus: - 13
Why Is Detective John Kimball Chasing Me?
