Lyrics and Timings

(The words or phrases in asterisks are things we are unsure of, instead we have written what they sound like.)

1st Verse (0:00-0:27)

Molly got married in the lavender dress she'd stole,

She hurried away, returned it the very same day.

[drums start]

Everyone gathered her husband and kin meant they rushed,

To figure it out, what she was all about.

1st Chorus (0:28-1:01)

Haaaahh haaaahh haaaahh

He never meant that much to me, I burried it *alive*

Going automatic rush, to see her burried alive

2nd Verse (1:02-1:30)

Molly's wedded man can it mean a word as he rushed,

Roaming the night, combing the streets for his wife.

Dead, stinking drunk, kick the doors open wide and he saw, 

She was the dressmakers whore, *laid out bedding* floor.

2nd Chorus (1:31-2:04)

Haaaaaahh haaaaaaaaaah haaaaaaah

He never meant that much to me, I burried it *alive*

Going automatic rush, to see her burried alive

Guitar Solo (2:05-2:32)

3rd Chorus (2:33-3:12)

Never meant that much to me, I burried it *alive*

Going automatic rush, to see her burried alive

End (3:13-3:15)

Music Promo Choice

The music we have chosen to do our music promo to is a song called "Molly and the dressmaker" by a band called "Bless You Boys".

Information on the band posted by them on Unsigned.com:

'Bless You Boys is a four-piece rock combo hailing from Grand Rapids, MI. The band was formed in 2006 by frontman and lead vocalist Chris Andrus, "...one of the most promising songwriters on the Michigan music scene today (The Grand Rapids Press, 2005)."
Made up of Andrus, guitarist/vocalist Brad Lawrence, bassist Steve Sullivan and drummer Brad Harris, "Bless You Boys have cultivated an original sound, eking out a niche in local music and separating itself from the all-too-common emo and power-pop scenes (The Grand Rapids Press, 2006)."
While drawing influence from artists like the Beatles, Brian Wilson, Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, the members of Bless You Boys are intensely focused on originality and innovation. Their songs feature inventive harmonies, original melodies and chord changes, and concise arrangements. "Bless You Boys' songs tend to be quick and poppy with a nostalgic air that betrays the musicians' muses, classic and modern (The Grand Rapids Press yet again, 2006)."
In their experience on the local and national scene, members of the band have shared the stage with a number of national acts, most notably Everclear, Collective Soul, Fallout Boy, Dishwalla, Deep Purple and Blue Oyster Cult.
Bless You Boys released their debut album, "Armed to the Teeth," through Mackinaw Harvest Music in the spring of 2007. '
