Bad Astronaut - Megan (Smoking Popes cover)

Bad Astronaut covering Megan, originally by Smoking Popes.

Butter on a summer day
When she's around
I was on the tracks
When the gate came down
Suddenly I recognized
Those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine

I heard that whistle call my name
I almost drove away
But Megan I had a feeling that you would be on that train
So I just waited there for you

Caught a ride to another town
Where the air was clean
And the sun never goes down
Everyone was standing in a line
Between the landing and the stairs

I heard somebody call my name
I almost climbed the stairs
But Megan I had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there
So I just waited there for you

Butter on a summer day
When I hear that name
It's a dream that never came true
Sat down on the tracks
And waited for a train to take me back to you

Somebody came and took my hand
I finally had to go
But Megan I just want you to know
That I waited as long as I could

Butter on a summer day when she's around

people only say this song isn't a good version bc they're all over bayside's nuts. they should look up joey cape and realize where this shit is really coming from, but they're all lazy jerkoffs and prolly think eliot smith's version of needle in the hay is also better than ba's. same lyrics. two totally diff songs. one obviously has to kick more ass. i know where i'm placing my bet.

how can you compare Bay side's version with Bad Astronaut's version of Megan? There TWO different approaches to a great song and are both AMAZING COVERS

piano makes this cover. Such a good song in general.

[guatemalaandjazz]

Best guitar solo of the three versions for sure

Bayside, Bad Astronaut, Smoking Popes... Who gives a shit? Listen to the music, and enjoy it.
