lyrics

LYSEE PAY FOR THE CHECK
I'm feeling lucky from the first disaster
I'm tired and stoney from the look you steal
I'm feeling sorry if you think it is real
it's not un-often that I sing this song
a sorry offshoot from the mood I'm on
a less desirous way to feel that you feel
do we come here often?
do I come here often?

Leese, pay for the check
I'm going through a hard time this month
please, pay for the check - I'll get the tip, of yes

an apparatus shifted from its place
while I was driving/weaving toward your place
I wonder why my engine made it home
a new arrival to my bills this week,
a course in "Surviving Economic Thrift"
it cost $11.50, ain't that cheap?
do I do this often?
can I do this more often?

Leese, pay for the check
I'm going through a hard time this month
please, pay for the check - I'll pay you back
Lysee, pay for the check
I'm going through a hard time this month
please, pay for the check - I'll get the tip, of yes

another story
no fame and glory
returns to rust in his sleep

Lysee, pay for the check
I'm going through a hard time this month
please, pay for the check - right over there.....

about

The Breetles Princeton, New Jersey

The Breetles, an American power-pop band, are Chris Breetveld and anyone who plays Breetles songs, with or without him. They became one of the founding rocks of the "Kendall Park (New Jersey) Sound" starting around 1982. They have been described as the illegitimate flower-child of The Who, The Beatles, XTC, The Kinks, Mrs. Miller and Cheap Trick. Power-pop, cleverly-stupid, quiet is the new loud. ... more
