Which brings us to the first quarter of 2006. It took us a minute to edit the DVD last summer because Karina and I had to edit out the thousands of bad shots of us. It’s interesting what camera guys can get when they’re in the pit filming up our skirts. We had a good time in the editing bay laughing at ourselves because for the past ten years we had imagined that we looked way cooler on stage. This is not the case. We are not cool at all . To top it off, when we were doing the commentary the first time around, Karina and I started arguing, which then escalated into a full
blown fight. The guys thought it was the funniest thing they had ever heard, but we decided to keep the first pass at the commentary to ourselves. It actually is the funniest thing we could ever release, but we burned all copies, so you will never know.

Now that the DVD is out, we have decided it’s probably time to finish those songs we claimed to be writing. We managed to play one at the show without blowing it, but we really should have finished them all a year ago when we started them, because we forgot a lot of the parts between then and now. I swear we will do it. We are almost done with a bunch of songs. We talked about putting them all together and making one long medley so that you couldn’t tell that they were missing a part. We will ask Fat Mike what he thinks of our Frankenrecord idea and get back to you.

I never thought about it before
Just close your eyes and ignore
The dark that troubles you most
Don’t let it be here
And if you see it again
Hold your breathe and pretend
That you’re already dead

You’ll never be alone
I will always hold your hand
I’ll never let you fall
‘Cause nothing
Nothing else matters at all
If you’re scared just think of me
‘Cause you know ill never let you be
Anywhere but with me

Forget the story you heard
Why are you worried about the dirt
I don’t think that you’ll mind
When it’s your time
‘Cause I will be there with you
And well figure out what to do
So that you don’t get bored

You’ll never be alone
I’ll always hold your hand
I’ll never let you fall
‘Cause nothing
Nothing else matters at all
If you’re scared just think of me
‘Cause you know ill never let you be
Anywhere but with me

So try to sleep with a smile
I promise ill wait a while
To make sure that you moved on
You won’t be lost
I will always hold your hand
Ill never let you fall
‘Cause nothing
Nothing else matters at all
If you’re scared just think of me
‘Cause you know ill never let you be
Anywhere but with me

If you don’t know me please why don’t you tell me
cuz I don’t want to be with you no more.
The story that you tell please somebody yell
I feel the sound before I hear your voice
A midnight battle, the moon casts a shadow
I swear I won’t know of you anymore
From a phone booth, [dime, dyin] tell the truth
I look up through this splint of broken glass.

Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore
Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore

If you don’t know me please why don’t you tell me
cuz I don’t want to be with you no more.
The story that you tell please somebody yell
I feel the sound before I hear your voice
If I thought it possible would you render it impossible
Get as close to darkness as you can
From a phone booth, [dime, dyin] tell the truth
I look up through this splint of broken glass.

Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore
Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore

If you don’t know me please why don’t you tell me
cuz I don’t want to be with you no more.
The story that you tell please somebody yell
I feel the sound before I hear your voice
A Midnight battle, the moon casts a shadow
I swear I won’t know of you anymore
From a phone booth, [dime, dyin] tell the truth
I look up through this splint of broken glass

Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore
Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore
Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore
Now you don’t got a picture of me anymore
