3) C#(tion)
4) Someday

- Note that C#(tion) was played live by Green Day and it's available on some bootlegs -

A love story, a soap opera, a rainy day, a song that makes you think. This is one of the few bands that communicates honesty, as hard-edged as it sometimes is, and as soft as it can be. Mix in a large dose of hope and optimism, and you've got Fifteen.


Fifteen started not as a band. At first I was teaching Jack how to play guitar, and he was teaching me how to not drink. It accidentally turned into a band. We were homeless, we borrowed equipment. We put out a self-titled 7". We switched drummers. We all got hooked on speed. We put out an LP, "Swains First Bike Ride." We turned four piece and then back to three piece, losing Jack in the shuffle. We put out another LP, "Choice of a New Generation." Afterwards I kicked everybody out of the band, Jack came back. We did a couple of CDs on another label. Jack disappeared. We got sober. I found two other guys. We put out our own CD. Seven and a half years after we started, I kicked everybody out of the band, including myself. I had to deal with my 10 year stint of being homeless and 11 years of drug addiction. At the end we had some stuff left over which is on "There's No Place Like Home." We were Jack, Mikey (Monsula), Jean Jean (East Bay Mud), Mark (East Bay Mud / Fetish), Jesse (Nuisance), Nick (Steadfast), Chris (Drippy Drawers), John (Drippy Drawers / Woolly Mammoth), Lucky Dog (Crummy Musicians) and Jeff (ex-Dog Day roadie). There was plenty of politics and music and stuff, but today I think what was important was that there was a group of people who would let a homeless kid have a voice. Bye - Jeff


Lyrics:

C#(tion)
--------
You don't look at me no more and I don't look at you
Well that all right pretty baby, cuz I'm just looking for something to do
You're telling me that you don't feel the same
Well that's all right pretty baby, cuz I don't mind driving myself insane, sometimes
I don't mind at all, and then again sometimes baby
I feel like my whole world's gonna fall apart
When you tell me you don't feel the same,
but that's all right pretty baby, cuz I don't mind being insane
Sometimes
You don't talk to me no more, and I don't talk to you
Well that's all right pretty baby, cuz I'm just looking for something to prove
You're telling me that you don't feel the same
Well that's all right pretty baby, cuz I don't mind driving myself insane, sometimes
I don't mind at all, and then again sometimes baby
I feel like my whole worlds gonna fall apart
When you tell me that you don't feel the same, but that's all right pretty baby, cuz
I don't mind being insane
Sometimes


Someday
-------
All alone she'll lose herself
Such a long road down
Such a tragic way to go
Runnin' bears no rewards
She's desperately seeking an inner joy
That is always out of reach
She gets too caught up to see
Running too fast to see
She's got the answer
Sees it and runs away
Love is always waiting
When she needs a fix
Desperate mind Desperate heart
Loneliness is tearin' us apart
She's got She's got to stop
She's got to stop someday
Dear sunshine So nice to hear you're doin' all right
I almost forgot how much I miss hearin' you say
I'll see you again someday
Dear sunshine Did you forget about the rainy days
When we were together I'd hold you in my arms and say
Please don't take this away
Don't take this away Can't replace the innocence
You mean the world to me Can't replace the innocence
You mean the world to me Can't replace the innocence
Don't take Don't take this away
Don't take this away
I'll see you again someday
And we can pretend that it is today
I'll see you again someday
