double nickels turns three dimes

listen

lyrics

1984 the heart of summer
three punk rock kids: guitar, bass, and a funky drummer
you give ‘em nuff rope you can make ‘em sing
you give ‘em nuff hope they’ll seize the ring
it was the best of times
it was the worst of times
double nickels turns
three dimes
double vinyl, no cd in sight
three more years till I’d see the light
they sunk their hooks in my chump rock dream
pedro grandeur, a wrench in the cream
it was the best of times
it was the worst of times
double nickels turns
three dimes
a long time later it’s still brand new
the tension lives forever it’s a lesson, free and true
it lifts me up makes the world seem small
you can tip it at an angle it still stands tall
it was the best of times
it was the worst of times
double nickels turns
three dimes
