A fox can't change
its cruel and strange
to make them live all civilized
when their instincts remain
some fox were raised
to think they're tame
they didn't realize
they were foxes all these days
Now we already knew that I was a man
recently realized and we must understand
I loved you were wild, and you love what I am not
Well fox can't date no man and a man can't date no fox
Well a mans the same
and some things you can't change
no matter how hard we both might try
a man remains
wild hearts you can't tame
and thats ours I'm afraid
they'll just grow sad and insane
if you try to keep them chained
Well a fox can't date no man
And a man can't date no fox
You can't change I'm a man
and darling you're a fox

Allison wakes up on Sunday morning
puts on a plaid plaid skirt and drives to the flea market
smokes her cigarettes and drinks her coffee
and on her car stereo is Johnny Too Bad
Allison its Sunday Morning
and I'm at your window
callings out to you
I asked Allison why she always looks so sad
she said I wouldn't understand, so don't even try
I told her last night I wrote a song for her until my fingers bled
she said "let your fingers bleed I won't lose no sleep"
Allison its Sunday Morning
and I'm at your window
callings out to you
Well Allison sleeps, every single day
lying in her bed, pretending its her grave
if she ever dies

The Hempsteadys New London, Connecticut
From their beginning on Hempstead Street in New London Connecticut, to cities across the U.S. and Canada, The Hempsteadys have enjoyed every minute of it. What best sums up the Hempsteadys is lyric is a lyric from their concept album El Amor de los Muertos; "what really matters in this world is here tonight". On The Undercard, their latest release, proves they are much more than just a ska band. ... more
