Guitar Transcription of Bonus Track from Youth and Young Manhood:
Intro:
D, Bm7 x2
Verse 1:
D Bm7
Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
D Bm
Ruth B. draws we're fixin' to get high
D Bm7 A
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum
Chorus:
G A
But everybody says this place is beautiful
A
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
G A
But everything's the same this town is pitiful
A
And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly
Interlude:
D Bm7
Life goes by on a Talihina sky
Verse 2:
The hopped up boys are lookin' for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well they've all got their share
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time
Chorus REpeat

| Why hasn't anyone commented on this amazing band? This song's lyrics are so meaningful too. The singer's just depressed about life in his little town, where everyone around him just seems to be running themselves into the ground, and while everyone around him seems to love it, he doesn't feel right there, and wants to leave quick. | |

| There's two versions of this song; one is at the end of Holy Roller Novocaine and the other is an alternate version that they recorded. Both reflect the transisition from youth and young manhood to aha shake heartbreak with the alternate version indicating a less poppy, more emotionally driven second album. | |

| I can't believe you think calebs voice is annoying!!! especially on trani!! calebs voice is responsible for part of what makes the band so amazing. I don't know if you remember trani live, but it is f*cking amazing. find a bootleg on happyalone.com or something, and give it another shot...it's incredible. oh, and I've met them and I don't remember caleb being that short...and he wasn't fussy at all! he was wearing a wife beater and jeans during the show. | |

| STOP TAKING THE PISS OUT OF HIS VOICE. It's music, it's art...it's great!! I sometimes feel like the lyrics from this song, apart from I live on an estate in North-East England which certainly is not beautiful and nobody loves it. It would be nice to get out when the time eventually comes... Think he's singing from experience again? | |

| it's just like a plain white t-shirt, you know like a tank top for guys. you've seen em'. we like to call them "wife beaters" down here in the south, lol (I'm from texas). haha, so caleb would be familiar with the term. anyway, they're basically called wife beaters cause' rednecks are notorious for wearing them. | |

| yeah, im also surprised no ones commented. theyre a pretty damn good band, although sometimes calebs overly slurred together vocals do get on my nerves (aka trani), actually caleb himself is kind of, not necessarily annoying, but yeah, a little annoying. i saw them open for the strokes in october (and actually ended up meeting both bands through sheer luck), and everytime calebs hair got out of place he stopped playing and smoothed it out, and he did that every couple of minutes throughout their set. okay, i spose thats not so very annoying, but it IS really funny watching a singer groom himself when the rest of the band is rocking out. also, he was wearing a scarf and boots with pretty high heels/platforms for a guy because hes so short. haha, sorry, i swear i do think this band is great despite my making fun of them, and sorry im really not commenting on talihina sky (great hidden track), but if you ever get to see caleb fuss over his appearance on stage, you'll understand just how funny it is. | |
