lyrics

universally loved by british toddlers
by homeless french tuba players
by stoned american co-eds
6 albums, 15 years, 22 countries, who am I?
(Youngblood Brass Band)
try not to love me.

I know right / for the people coming night after night / my whole life here / maybe why I don’t have a wife / my lone vice: kill a drummer, light up a mic / it’s so nice / Youngblood: bangers and brass / happened so fast / summer lovin’ my ass / we got more hot shit than you can shake a dick at / so ill, at the door you get a stamp and a sick bag

you coming to the gig? I think your lady is / I think she’s having thoughts of having David’s kids
you coming to the gig? I think your man knows that we got two fully automatic trombones
you coming to the gig? I think it’s worth the price, I think the saxophone section dresses awful nice!
you coming to the gig? I heard your mom say, ‘I could sit and listen to the trumpets all day!’
here’s the part we all break: who am I?
(Youngblood Brass Band)

...and back / where you been for the last, like, decade? ‘last night? sex date. right hand.’ no, I mean how could you think that we could quit this sound? ‘well, Nat left the band, it really let me down.’ understandable / his mandible alone will handle all the tones your man could know / intangible like how you make it danceable / bands thinking you can do this: your hands are full / there’s your answer folks / you can have the notes but it doesn’t mean your music’s not a joke / and I don’t care what kind of funny hat you’re tipping, friend: just because you play a horn you ain’t sitting in / ‘don’t be mean, that’s my boyfriend, Vincent’ / listen: asshole is my pre-existing condition / I rap, it’s my job description / well, that and dissing

you coming to the gig? ‘I heard it’s so bomb. I heard they got not one but TWO dudes on the floor toms!’
you coming to the gig? ‘it’s not a lot of cash. I’d cut off a nut to get the tuba’s autograph!’
you coming to the gig? ‘well, France is kinda far.’ ‘too bad, you should’ve seen the staff dancing on the bar!’
you coming to the gig? ‘don’t wanna miss the boat’ you can tell your crew that one time mister Skogen missed a note.
hey mister tenor saxophone: who am I?
(Youngblood Brass Band)

couple things: we don’t listen to anyone else’s say-so / we don’t got stage clothes / we don’t make great dough / we don’t play lame shows / we don’t do tame prose / and if you’re trying to break our balls you better aim low / we do blaze foes / we do flame throw / we do maim those sticking with the same old lame-o playdough preschool-age flow / don’t know how fame go / you know my name though

you coming to the gig? ‘it’s off the hook, right? I’ll play your kindergarten graduation. book flights!’
you coming to the gig? there’s no one else to call. these 10 dudes unplugged trump them all.
you coming to the gig? yep. three letters: y / b / b / forever.

all night all day get down get loud who am I? (Youngblood Brass Band)
for the kids for the heads every breath til I’m dead who am I? (Youngblood Brass Band)
for the past for the now for the fire for the sound who am I? (Youngblood Brass Band)
for the shows for the fans for the love for the band who am I? (Youngblood Brass Band)
