about: A fan favorite and staple in the live set, the original version of this song appeared as an acoustic/piano arrangement on the ‘Chelsea Diaries’ record released in Spring 2007. This version provides a different take on the track: for those who haven’t heard the band live, the version provides a glimpse of how the song sounds on stage with a full band. It was recorded during the winter of 2009 as a live, one-off take and engineered by Mike Caffrey at his Monster Island Studios located, appropriately enough, in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.
lyrics: There’s a record playing down my hall,
a new gothic blues that almost was,
but I can’t hear all the chords.

Now the record’s playing a perfect song,
and what we would have done for just one,
so I pick up my guitar.

I won’t crawl out ever again.
I won’t wait for it to begin,
or cry for something that might have been.

The record ends.
It’s so dead and used up it won’t mend.
So I won’t try anymore.

We won’t sway ever again,
we won’t let you fuck with our heads,
or fight for something to never end.

It’s not anger I’m feeling
so please don’t misunderstand me
when I say I don’t miss you no more.
