Sticky Taco Hands

from Almost Naked by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures

/

lyrics

We were both just out of school
And both of us tried to play it cool
You with all your piercings and coloured hair
We'd hang out most every night
Talking rebellion over a tasty bite
But acting like we don't have a care
Your eyes were torches under thick black mascara
And I could never take my eyes off ya
We were both going to compete in battle of the bands
I was nervous about my cheap guitar
But I knew your talent would take you far
Playing drums in Sticky Taco Hands

The boys would ask me what I saw in you
But they were just jealous and stupid too
You were everything in your Cure T-Shirt
We made plans to run away
And to take the country by storm one day
To shout at the sky and kick some dirt
I'd come and watch you rehearse
Everyone else was a hundred times worse
I could spend the rest of my life in the stands
Cheering for you every night
The rhythms and music nice and tight
When you played drums for Sticky Taco Hands

Then came the day when you fell ill
And my whole world came to a stand still
No rich adventures and love for you and me
I visited you every single day
All your favourite 45s we would play
Until the nurses told us off repeatedly
Your second to last night we escaped to the roof
Tried that drink that was 80% proof
Lay under the stars and talked of future plans
Now I'm alone and that I can't fix
You left me the memories and a pair of sticks
From when you played drums for Sticky Taco Hands

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
