Stay Positive Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
Whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, hoI've got a lot of old friends that are getting back and touching
It's a pretty good feeling, yeah it feels pretty good
I get a lot of double takes when I'm coming round the corners
And it's mostly pretty nice, yeah it's mostly pretty alright'Cause most kids give me credit for being down with it
When it was back in the day back when things were way different
When the youth of today and the early seven seconds
Taught me some of life's most valuable lessonsThere's gonna come a time when the scene'll seem less sunny though
Probably get druggy and the kids will seem too skinny
There's gonna come a time when she's gonna have to go

With who ever's gonna get her the highestThere's gonna come a time when the true scene leaders
Will forget where they differ and get big picture
'Cause the kids at the shows, they'll have kids of their own
And the sing along songs will be our scripturesWhoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positive
Whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positiveWhoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positive
Whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positiveWhen the chaperon crowned us the king and the queen
I knew that we'd arrived at a unified scene
And all those little lambs from my dreams
Well, they were there too'Cause it's one thing to start it with a positive jam
And it's another thing to see it on through
And we couldn't have even done this
If it wasn't for youWhoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positive
Whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positiveWhoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho
We gotta stay positive
Whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho, whoa, ho, ho

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.
