I remember seeing them play at TT the Bears & someone stole (the singer) Jeff Conneley" sunglasses. He was yelling at the crowd "who took my F***in sunglasses" boy was he pissed. I also heard this ong on "Recue Me" with Dennis Learey.

Help You Ann - The Lyres [Boston, Massachusetts] - 1984 - "One of their BEST early garage rockers." - Lyres Sampler (Matador)-1998. NOTE: Organ dominated 60's sound. This is The Lyres in a nutshell.

[cuoiodog]

Hey where can I get this? I look and look , no luck. How about download it??

I'm looking for The Bags too...Ahhh..I loved Boston during this time!

Really, any info would be great!

[Fashizle20]

Where's the cover of "We Sell Soul?",Thanks, Jeff!

[GuitarGuy5000000000]

@Fashizle20 It was on their myspace page last time I checked! 

[musictflo]

Great guitar sound. Fun Fun song. Kinda like the Stones meets the Strawberry Alarm Clock.

[No1ClashFan]

Thanks so much for posting this!!I loved this band!Great memories of London mid 80s!!!x

[truethought62]

Once saw this song on American Bandstand's "Rate a Record" (no shit!) The person who rated the record gave it a 96, I believe! (I know it was a high 90 mark-the dancers seemed to dig it-I was definitely surprised to see this smokin' tremeloed monster on THAT show back then! "College radio" loved it too...something great from the 80s!

[LowellDevil]

Ahh Boston, the garage band capital of the world!!!

[mycatsdead]

good. i want you myself think of all the money i can save. thats gotta be a best chat up line ive heard. love the lyres. monoman you kick ass

[tomlynch42]

One of the pleasure of my life was playing every song we could think of in Johnny Hentch's basement , me, some Scotsmen, and Mono Man!

[Parchem112]

I loved this song in DESTROY ALL HUMANS 2

[u2fan1987]

[maddog20400]

My vote for greatest garage tune of all time.

[diddywahdaddy]

This 45 lit up my pathetic eighties life... The Lyres and The Cramps saved that decennium for me. Still magic to listen to this - to this day I remember exactly where I was, hearing this on the radio for the first time. Have it on tape, even. I think.

[purplevoxeater]

Superb neo-garage explosion back in the 80's! Greetings from Greece!

@EssenceofTimQuan That's awesome man! You can't find lyrics for this song anywhere. I couldn't at least. Thanks.

[bluzzy13]

[ThurstonHunger]

Lyres drummer is tight with timing like the Flakes drummer

[Khultan]

[mjmcnult]

A seminal track in my rock 'n' roll life.

[sdnyyy]

Excellent.

[BlueViewer]

AWESOME, thanks! I used to see these guys all the time at TT's, The Rat, and basement clubs at Harvard Sq. Some kickass garage-punk. Monoman was a riot, but sometimes got so drunk he couldn't sing. :-o

[BigBishop1]

thanx

[heavnnnsent]

Absolutely arsome song!

[wildshovel]

Such a big awesome tremolo sound !

Thanks for uploading. The 45 is also great -- a jumpier, louder, slightly faster version.

[5050NM]

Thanks for putting this album version up. What a great band!

[fiercedeity10]

No problem man. It was about time somebody did!

[exknacki]

Thank you fiercedeity 10 - please poste "don`t give it up now" too. People need it...

[huskyjerk]

@fiercedeity10 Can you post the Lyres "Grounded", off a 45rpm released back in the 90's? Thanks.
