You go up and down, back to the middle on some solid ground. Give just a little of your heart away and save the rest for a rainy day. ‘Cause there are dark clouds comin’, yeah there are dark clouds comin’. It’s gonna rain, it’s gonna pour. It’s knockin’ down your front door. Life is pain. It’s what we’re built for. Lightning rods in a thunderstorm. You go right to left, back to the center ‘cause you know what’s best. In fact it’s better if you just forget. You can’t forget her, oh no, not just yet. You’re feeling bitter ‘cause there are dark clouds comin’, yeah there are dark clouds comin’. Crash, smash, explode. Leave nothing behind but the open road. Leave nothing, leave nothing behind.

We started out in a cemetery. I should’ve taken that as a sign. This cute gravedigger would bury, bury me alive. But I couldn’t see what was in front of me. I was so in love at the time. These days I’m amazed, she seems so unfazed while I’m mourning a love that just died. And we used to ride side by side. But we ran out road. We ran out of time. We parted ways at Bamboo Café. I’ll never go back there again. A tonic and gin, two Yuenglings and then I’m not sure if we’re even friends. I felt broken and sad so I paid the tab but I still had to unlock our bikes. I took off the u-lock. We hugged on the sidewalk. I thought about what it was like when we used to ride. I wish I hadn’t memorized the tattoos on your skin. The way you used to mesmerize, why did you let me in? Just to let me go, I know its what you had to do. I miss you.

When I was a kid I thought my life could be like a movie. I could be the karate kid or a goonie. I grew up kinda slow. I’m old enough, old enough to know. Life ain’t a movie or a TV show, it’s the real thing. There are no commercial breaks. There’s just head aches and heart ache. Constant reminders of your mistakes. And if you’re lucky, once in a while something just might make you smile. In the end I can tell ya there’ll be tears because everything we love will disappear. So, don’t let go of this moment even though nothing can last forever. That’s how it must be. Hold tight to the music here tonight. For one brief second I think we got it right. When I was a kid I thought my life would be easy. A picket fence and a wife, just like on TV. It didn’t work out that way for me. My life is a catastrophe. This isn’t what my mother wanted for me. Now I just want my life to be like a love song. An ugly duckling squawking out a swan song. And if ya hear it, I hope ya smile. Forget about real life for a while. A brief moment we can share, that I hold dear because everything we love is still here. If you stay sweet then I’ll stay sweet. We’ll build up a community where we actually help one another. Let’s be friends, let’s be sisters and brothers. Let’s be everything we can to each other.

about
"A Place to Stay" is available for you to stream, but because our record label so graciously invested money in our record, they retain the rights to sell it for the time being. Visit our store above to purchase it, or find it on iTunes. Whichever method you choose will be a great way to say thanks to Adam for his help.
Of course, it comes with critical acclaim:
"...sounds promising. Male/female vocals, swirling keys and understated guitar hooks call bands like the Anniversary and the Rentals to mind."

Isn't that rad? Check it out, buy a copy, and let us know what you think!
Love, PooPS.

Pedals on our Pirate Ships recommends:
-
Hold Tight! also hails from Richmond, and their second record/EP thing features 6 of the greatest pop-punk minutes you may ever hear. We are planning a full US tour with them this summer!
go to album -
Our friends in Spraynard are basically famous, and hardly need our endorsement, but they're getting it anyway. If there is a 2011 pop-punk release we would recommend over any other, this is it.
