1979

This is always a song that comes to mind when I think of my teenage years.

sure, we had telephones and rocketships and everything ")

this video is unrealistic....i don't think they had that kind of technology in 1979

Whenever i hear this song after a long day I feel so relaxed and at ease. great song

Who can tell me what kinda guitar Billy's playing?

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet

Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

And I don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see

That we don't even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see

That we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the earth below

The street heats the urgency of now
As you see, there's no one around

"I want to have memories like this.
I want to make memories like this.
I am going to make my own memories."

A kid in 2nd grade told me this after we read a story I don't remember. I wish I knew him still.

I always liked this song.
