about

Getting your first guitar and starting a band is one of the most exciting things I've ever experienced. You're completely ignorant of how bad you are and how much you have to learn. All you're aware of is how powerful it is when 4 guys get together behind the pounding of the drums and the roaring of the amplifiers and play their favorite songs. This is about the band experience. I hope all of my ex-bandmates can appreciate the sentiment.

lyrics

Seems that all the teens
Want to start a band
Playing all their favorite songs
Touring in a van
Hear a song they wrote on the radio
Don't you know, yes I know start the show

Saved my lunch money
For a month or so
Then I bought an old guitar
from a friend I know
Wrote a few songs
for the talent show
Here we go here we go

Start the show
Start the show
Strike the chords
We'll play them high and low
And all the pretty girls
Shake their heads and twirl
In the front row

Start the show
Let's all go
Grab the mic and Let the haters know
Make them sing along to the words you wrote
They won't know

Remember how you flipped
When you broke a string
At the gig where we played
Fascination Street
Or playing out of tune
At the high school gig
Were Verner saved the day
With his charm and wit
Those were the days
full of innocence
Where we'd play to 3 people
Making 50 cents
What happened to the nights
Full of smiles and fun
Where'd they go where'd they go?

Start the show
Start the show
Strike the chords
We'll play them high and low
And all the pretty girls
Shake their heads and twirl
In the front row

Start the show
Let's all go
Grab the mic and Let the haters know
Make them sing along to the words you wrote
They won't know

Now were making records
In the studio
And were playing to the fans
At the secret show
Losing all the spark
Of that high school band
And fighting over words
Getting out of hand
If I could get the drummer
just to start a groove

Start the show
Start the show
Strike the chords
We'll play them high and low
And all the pretty girls
Shake their heads and twirl
In the front row

Start the show
Let's all go
Grab the mic and Let the haters know
Make them sing along to theif favorite song
That you just wrote
