Rock in the 70s floating on fragmented memories of the past

lyrics

Looking back on the 7th grade
In a tiny house that became our grave
Mom and dad could not be saved
But I'm sure they really tried

I hit myself 'cause I hated me
And I couldn't laugh 'cause the future seemed
Like something that I'd never see
If I drank enough at night

Sneaking out the window
So that I could play guitar
With people just like me

Misfits in the daytime
Find the nighttime is the place
That finally sets us free

I didn't know it then
But I was searching for a dream
Hoping that there's something
That I'd probably like to me

Nothing matters when you're young
You think that everything is dumb
It's not
Even when you're broke
A little love
Can make a life seem worth a lot

I didn't disappear
I found my friends
And I am glad
That's what I got

La la la la la la la
Looking Back On The 7th Grade
La la la la la la la
Looking back

Moved across the town one day
And found a better house they say
It seemed to me we'd be okay
But I was really wrong

Came home from school and the dog had died
And we never got to say goodbye
And I had a guess to the reason why
They would never get along.

Life could be good
But it'd be hard to say
That life was never sad

We used to sneak out
Cause every night
The fighting got so bad

Riding down the street
With both my sisters on my bike
Hiding from the violence
That sometimes had been our lives

Nothing matters when you're young
You think that everything is dumb
It's not
Even when you're scared
A little love
Can help you straighten out your shot

I didn't disappear
I found my friends
And I am glad
That's what I got

Every little thing that I get to do
Well I really want to spend a little time with you
Oh yea

I didn't disappear
I found my friends
And I am glad
That's what I got

Every little thing that I get to do
Well I really want to spend a little time with you
Oh yea

I didn't disappear
I found my friends
And I am glad
That's what I got

Soda Cracker Jesus Seattle, Washington

SCJ is a balance of pop smarts and rock groove, a sort of powerpop
kicker with psychedelic leanings. The iconic points of
reference are easy to draw, from a beefed-up Bowie or punked out Kinks to Beatles era psychedelia reminiscent of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett years. ... more
