Andrew got punched in the mouth
By that kid he called a poser
I guess sometimes you really get
What you deserve
Andrew, that is
His mother was so pissed
Held his hands up to his lips
Took him to the ER
Not to be deterred
Andrew, that is
What do you expect from this kid?
Could it get any better than this?
I respect a little grit
A little imperfection
Andrew, where are you now?
You represent the mistakes I wish I’d made
As a kid - yeah, I know
“Hindsight… 20 20 20”
Feeling a little skittish
Feeling a little kid-ish
Friends are getting married
It’s a beautiful thing
A beautiful ring
But it also means forsaking me
Things are getting boring
Things are getting lonely
Feeling so unlucky
Doesn’t even feel funny
I feel sad
I feel shutdown
I feel stressed out
I feel alone

Nobody writes songs like Shy Boys: gooey pop miniatures, odes to the melancholy and mundane. Talk Loud is their densest and biggest album yet, lush with keyboards, coloring their Smile-era Beach Boys sound with tinges of '80s Genesis, XTC, and Yes. Can't wait to hear the vinyl. Tyler McGaughey
