Billy Ruane (b.deily)
two-hundred-and-fifty ccs
rolling down Mass Avenue:
Citgo sign is flashing down,
tailight's barely hanging on--
you know and i know that it's been way too long--
where are you going, stranger? better hang on tight...
you know the dance is neverending--
you wanna see your friends tonight
that suit might need a cleaning--
but it's alright--
but the place just ain't the same without Billy Ruane
'cause he always knows your name, that Billy Ruane
and it's just a goddamn shame without Billy Ruane...
(and there ain't no one to blame,
but the place just ain't the same...)
dancing around in Kenmore Square,
down on Landsdowne every night--
staggering out of TT's
underneath a thousand stars...
the Channel is gone, and man,
the Rat closed down...
where are you going, billy?
where you riding now?
you know the dance is neverending...
i wanna see your face tonight--
that suit might need a cleaning--
but it's alright--
but the place just ain't the same without Billy Ruane
'cause he always knows your name, that Billy Ruane
and it's just a crying shame without Billy Ruane
(and there ain't no one to blame,
but the place just ain't the same...)
keep it loud, keep it raw...
the best-dressed drunk i ever saw--
(and there ain't no one to blame,
but the place just ain't the same...)

Demo (remixed/remastered)
by Jawbreaker
supported by 5 fans who also own “for crying out loud”
Such a fun demo, glad I discovered this version when I did. Also love Chris' track, even though he kinda sounds like Ed from Ed, Edd, n Eddy at times hahaha (no offense Chris, love ya man). I love Equalized, Split, and Better Half, but Caroline is such a cool track with that killer bassline.
