She’s looking good in those heels
She bought from Payless shoes
House of Spirits for a bottle of booze
Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park Avenue
What’s a girl to do
On a hot afternoon
Sit on the roof
And watch the cops go by
The ghetto birds
lighting up the sky
What can you do
It’s not getting better
Let’s get high tonight
I saw a guy crash his car
Into the loony bin
Fat piggies couldn’t catch up to him
Flew over fences and dogs
With the greatest of ease
Vanished in the bushes and trees
Fuck the police
Sit on the roof
And watch the cops go by
The ghetto birds
lighting up the sky
What can you do
It’s not getting better
Let’s get high tonight
Tonight, tonight,
Uh baby tonight
She’s looking good in those heels
She bought from Payless shoes
House of Spirits for a bottle of booze
Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park Avenue
What’s a girl to do
On a hot afternoon
What can you do
It’s not getting better
Let’s get high tonight

Power pop is a pretty formulaic genre -- a glorious formula, but still, predictable enough that lots and lots of bands can pull off a "perfect" blend of melody, harmony, jangle and crunch a time or two in the course of their careers. But I can't name another record that hits the magic spot EVERY SINGLE TRACK. This is so f$%#ing good. Craig O'Neill
