Behind The Music — текст песни (The Vandals)

Well we finished up the record and we think that it`s the shit-and we want it to go huge, but to play it off legit. And the guy in A&R`s got the CD in his car and he thinks track 4 and 6 are contenders Put the play lists are so tight that we gotta do it right But he`s getting a good feeling so we`re gonna take a meeting with the radio promo and the marketing Homo`s to see if we can get a green light.
So we waited by the phone and they finally let us know that the label is
Quote Really excited


CHORUS:
This could be the big one, time to celebrate perhaps.
Our fate is in the hands of strangers-
Going gold- or down the hole- you can kiss my ass!

So we got a couple stations, we`re in medium rotation
but the P.D. isn`t sure if the single`s gonna work
cuz he`s gotta play The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs
for the 80`s flashback weekend
And our ad`s are in the trades, and a video got made
and it cost a hundred grand, but we never got it played
and we`re trying to hit the road, but the agent doesn`t know
if there`s enough in the budget for tour support
So we`re playing local clubs, and we`re trying to get a buzz
and we got a good review in Music Connection

CHORUS:
This could be the big one, time to celebrate perhaps.
Our fate is in the hands of strangers-
Going gold- or down the hole- you can kiss my ass!

In a last ditch effort to rally up the troops
we ignored our last statement- 7 figures unrecouped
cuz we`re in it for the art, but we`d like to see if chart
in the billboard top one thousand
And we gave it our best shot, but the label says we`re dropped
and the drummer quit the band, and he`s working for his dad
So we`re doing auditions -

CHORUS: X2


This could be the big one, time to celebrate perhaps.
Our fate is in the hands of strangers-
Going gold or down the hole- you can kiss my ass!
