you took my heart in two
you always said you wouldn't do that to me
take back my roller skates
and I will take back all that was great
you think that I really need you
but I don't need anybody but myself
I know now that it's a crime
to beat a happy heart so so fine
you knew that I was like that
but you didn't give a damn
I have gone in there
I have what you might take
I think that things are great
so I'll put them on, just give and take a little
you said you would not lie to me
you said you would not have the heart
but I feel just like my ribs are ripping up inside,
I can't pretend, oh no
you broke my heart in two when you said you wouldn't do that to me… uh oh
you broke my heart in two when you said you wouldn’t do that to me
ohhhhh noooooo
it’s time for you to goooooooooo
it’s time for you to go
take off my roller skates and leave right now
leave me my harder heart

Well there’s a white flag in the sky tonight
So you can put down your arms
Lady lady where are you running
Stand and hold your ground
Haven’t you heard, haven’t you been told
That it’s up to you and me
Well there’s a man on a ladder and he’s climbing up
To the second story I can see him now
And if he falls down well he’s sure to die
But just the same so do you and I
But there’s a white flag in the sky tonight
Yeah there’s a white flag in the sky
Yeah there’s a white flag in the sky tonight
And everything’s smoking out in the city
Well there’s a cloud of dust and it’s smothering us
And our lungs how they’re gonna combust now
But there’s a white flag in the sky tonight
Yeah there’s a white flag in the sky
But there’s a white flag in the sky tonight
Yeah there’s a white flag in the sky
But there’s a white flag in the sky tonight
Yeah there’s a white flag in the sky

Takedown

Yoo-hoo, don’t I know you from somewhere,
You look awfully familiar
I met you in the middle of a crowded room
You said to me things in a way I'd never heard
I went out to my car to check my lipstick
I brought you drink in hand, I brought you napkins
I listened to your words before I spoke my own
I followed you around and then you ditched me
Oh, I want you by my side
Hey, I need you in my mind
But I won't stay for the takedown
And I won't play games you're making up
You saw me standing at the crosswalk near the park
I saw you walk away, the turn to see me look
I go there everyday to watch the birds play
You called me on the phone, I didn’t answer
I never called you back, in fact I just came over
I followed you around and then you ditched me
Hey, I want you by my side
Oh, I need you in my mind
But I won't stay for the takedown
And I won't play games you're making up
(Hey) I want you by my side
(Hey) I need you in my mind
But I won’t stay for the takedown
And I won’t play games you’re making up
(Oh no I don’t) I want you by my side
(Oh no I don’t) I need you in my mind
But I won’t stay for the takedown
And I won’t play games you’re making up
Hey maybe when this is all over we could be really good friends
I mean, we could go to lunch or dinner, or maybe lunch breakfast even
We could sort it all out and be friends, really good friends

I saw you
I saw you talking to another girl
You had that little look for me in your eyes
It all but emptied my heart
You know the one
Yeah you know the one
It hasn’t always been perfect
I haven’t always been fair
We haven’t always been on the same page
But when I saw you
But when I saw you
But when I saw you
I knew it, we’ve got to stop stop stop what we are playing into
I saw you
I saw you try to make a good impression
You told that funny story you tell in a crowd
I had to walk away
Yeah you know the one
Yeah you know the one
It hasn’t always been perfect
This ain’t no walk in the park
We haven’t always been on the same team
But when I saw you
Yeah when I saw you
Yeah when I saw you
I knew it, we’ve got to stop stop stop what we are playing into
We’ve got to stop stop stop what we are playing into
We’ve go the whole world in front of us
We can’t go messing it up
I hope I’m not here again
Without you
Without you
Without you
Take my hand
Walk with me
Let’s go on and find our way
The way
C’mon, let’s go and find
The silver lining
The silver lining
The silver lining

Underneath You
04:09

Lately I’ve been questioning my methodologies
I walk, I run, I go away and I end up here again
I must have a stinking hole inside of me
I can’t go on with you, can’t go on without you
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
And I don’t even know if I want to
And I don’t even know if I want to
And I don’t even know if I want to
Baby gotta hit the pavement mighta gotta go (gotta go)
It’s hot and cold and even lukewarm up here in my mind
I must have a gaping hole inside of me
I can’t go on with you can’t go on without you
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
And I don’t even know if I want to
And I don’t even know if I want to
And I don’t even know if I want to
Fireflies are rising to the night sky
A firestorm is putting up the right guise
I never meant to love you like I love you
I never meant to love you and then leave you
And if you had a quarter for my rocket
Well that you’d have your finger in my pocket
And we could fly and fly and get up so high
Yeah we could fly and fly and in the end ride on
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
I can’t get out from underneath you
And I don’t even know if I want to

I wanted it any other way
I would have given you my all
I wanted it any other day
I would have given so much up
I want this off my mind
I want this off of me and you
I’ll take you at your word tonight
I’ll take you at your word tonight
I’ll take you at your word this time
I wanted it any other way
And we coulda had ourselves a ball
But we never found a way on through
So I’ll take you as you are tonight
I will not put up a fight
I haven’t got much more to give
I would have liked to be your one
Cause I’ll take you at your word tonight
Yeah I’ll take you at your word tonight
So I’ll take you at your word this time
If it could be any other way
If we could just take it back and stay
Maybe just say it another way
But we’re running out of words tonight
You put up such a daring fight
And when I see you in that light
I know you care for me
And you could hold your head up high
(But you will always be)
And you could hold your head up high
(You make me proud to call my own)
You make me proud to call my own
(I know you care for me)
When I held you at your worst
(When I held you at your worst)
We could have any other way
(We could have any other way)
We very nearly made it to
(I know you care for me)
We very nearly made it
I want this off my mind
I want this off of me and you
I’d take you any other day
I’d take you any other way
In other lifetimes we could shine
In other worlds I know your mine
And I would know you like I do
And you would see through all of me
And what I’d like to feel for you
I’d surely hold your heart in spades
(If we can have any other way)
I’d take you any other way
I want this off of me and you
I’d take you any other day
Yeah we can have any other way
Yeah you could hold your head up high
I want this off of your and me
I would have liked to be your one
I want this off of me and you
I want this off of me and you
I want this off of me and you
And we coulda had ourselves a ball
I would have given you my all
I’d take you any other day
I’d take you any other way
We know we’re running out of steam
We know we’re running here on fumes
I’d take you any other day
I’d take you any other way
But know that I hold you in my head
But know that I hold you in my arms
Know that I hold you in my hands
Where you will always
Know that I hold you in my heart
Know that I hold you in my arms
Know that I hold you in my heart
Where you will always
In my arms and in my head
In my mind and in my hands
Know that I hold you in my heart
Know that I hold you in my heart
Know that I hold you in my heart
Where you will always
Where you will always be

I Think You Should
04:04

If you want, you should just do it
If you want, I think you should
I woke up yesterday and the sky was falling
I woke up today and everything is laid out in front of me
If you got doubts, you should lay them all behind you
Go on ahead and take a leap
So if you want, I think you should just do it
I don’t think you should wait another blink
I woke up yesterday and the roof was caving
I woke up today and everything it made perfect sense
So now’s your chance to really make a brave move
Be bold, be strong, be different than before
So I don’t know if I’m right but I say you should go do it
And end up on the other side of what happens
Cause all this energy you spend not deciding
May be keeping you from living a little poetry
I know sometimes it seems a little blurry
At least that’s what you said to me
But I was thinking maybe it don’t have to be
You could maybe just dive on in
See here where I stand, it doesn’t seem to matter
Any which way you go you go
And maybe all you need’s a little momentum
To start a trickle, to start a flow
I think that you should just do it
I think you should go for it
I don’t know, I know
I don’t know, I know
I don’t know, I think I know
I have a feeling it will all become real
I woke up yesterday and the sky was falling
I woke up today, I woke up today, I woke up today
I think you should go for it
Yesterday, I woke up and the sky was falling
Today I woke up and it all makes perfect sense

big bang television Los Angeles, California
big bang television was born in the aughts, in a sun-drenched, notably-neglected, 60s-era apartment in
Hollywood.
Starr & Erik met in the courtyard, exchanging mis-delivered packages. A band was formed.
Then along came Mike with his 30 lb. amp, which he carried 4 blocks to the living room each week.
The sound coalesced, the energy finessed. An up-tempo, garage-style, pop-trio was locked.
