Barfruit Blues Lyrics


Kids with broken hearts
And kids with broken bones
Kids with kidney stones
Giving birth to bloody stereosSystems are all dripping wet
With gristle piss and swizzle sticks
Mary's got a bloody nose
From sniffing margarita mixShe licked her lower lip
And then she kissed that hallelujah chick
She came off kind of spicy
But she tasted like those pickle chipsWe thought she was a dancer
But her steps they made the records skip
She came off kind of crunchy
But she went down like a chicken stripDripping wet with the special sauce
She had a confidence smile
And a nervous cough and we got offShe said it's good to see you back in a bar band, baby
I said it's great to see you're still in the bars
She said it's good to see you back in a bar band, baby
I said it's great to see you're still in the barsWent down with a tallboy cans

And he woke up in a cargo van
Went down with the girls gone wild
And he woke up with the middle manWent down with like fourteen bucks
And woke up with like sixteen grand
Went down with some crust punk junk
And woke up with a straight edge band
That's not how he planned itHolly can't speak
She don't feel all that sweet
About the places
She sometimes has to go to get some sleepShe said I'm sorry, people think I'm pretty
These clever kids are killing me
For one they ain't that clever
Number two, it really sucks
When you get stuck here with these trevors
This was supposed to be a partyHalf the crowd is calling out for born to run
And the other half is calling out for born to lose
Baby, we were born to choose
We got the last call bar band really, really, really big decision blues
We were born to bruise, we were born to bruise

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
