You Smell 02:27
You smell -- All over the place You smell -- What’s that stuff on your face? You smell -- I smell you way over here You smell -- Yeah you smell like stale beer You smell -- Yeah you got some disease You smell -- Is that rotten cheese? You smell -- Go change your clothes! You smell -- Yeah it hurts my nose You smell -- You must think you’re punk You smell -- Oh yeah you stink like a skunk You smell -- Time to take a bath You smell -- I’m gonna kick your ass Get that cigar out of my car...

Paparazzi 02:07
It’s a lotta dam work just to clear my mind Still gotta get to the job on time Slaving away every day like a drone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone So many options for things to despise Sick of the truth; bored with the lies If you’ve never sinned, go cast the first stone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone Won’t even let me talk on the phone Got no respect for my personal zone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone Let’s make it clear where I draw the line Stay in your lane; get out of mine Anti-vaxxer nut jobs whine and moan The paparazzi won’t leave me alone This mess got me in distress You’re playing checkers, I’m playing chess I never wanted to live on a throne The paparazzi won’t leave me alone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone Won’t even let me talk on the phone Got no respect for my personal zone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone Dick Nixon still wiretapping my phone Every damn dog gets his bone Failed the audition for The Twilight Zone No room in the mix for a slide trombone The paparazzi won’t leave me alone

about

The 4-song E.P. has always been one of my favorite formats. So many of the bands that influenced me did one -- Black Flag, D.O.A., Minor Threat, Government Issue, The Damned, Buzzcocks, The Clash, and Stiff Little Fingers, just to name a few. There were also some great 4-song E.P.s from the local scene I grew up in -- bands like Dennis The Menace, Ronald Koal and the Trillionaires, and Snare and The Idiots all released 4-song E.P.s that I loved then and still cherish today.

I hope you dig this one.
