Little girl dipped in shy Tell me that you will be mine I can’t stand that I’m not with you Tell you things you want to hear Even if I’m not remotely near I can’t stand that I’m not with you Why are you so far away? When are you coming back to stay? I said before I’m the jealous type You’d better check that wandering eye I can’t stand that I’m not with you Little girl I’m insecure But with you here we will endure I can’t stand that I’m not with you Why are you so far away? When are you coming back to stay? I can’t stand that I’m not with you Wear me like a weapon tonight Around your ankle or near your thigh I can’t stand that I’m not with you Wish I was there when you do your hair Apply your lipstick in underwear I can’t stand that I’m not with you Why are you so far away? When are you coming back to stay? I can’t stand that I’m not with you I can’t stand that I’m not with you I can’t stand that I’m not with you

I can’t tell if you’re still in my way Lookout babe there’s demons left to pay Jealous lover likened an attack Transit phase when you’re not in the sack You used to be mine You used to be fine But now you’re not Cosmic sermons now in retrograde Opening your wounds like a switchblade Cutting deep and deeper than before When you bleed you’ll know I’ve evened the score You used to be mine You used to be fine But now you’re not I don’t know who you think I am But I’d worry a little more than that There is no one here that could even attest I’m placing you under zodiac arrest You used to be mine You used to be fine You used to be mine You used to be fine But now you’re gone
3.
You do something to me You make my heart race How I miss your loving arms And your kind embrace You do something to me I don’t know what it is I see the future kisses And they’re hers and his Wanting waiting wishing for you Right now it’s the only thing I can do Don’t keep me waiting too long It’s cruel and it’s mean and it’s just plain wrong You do something to me I wish that you knew Tell me that you’re always mine And we’ll see it through
4.
If I wrote you a letter Would you send it right back If you said you were sorry I wouldn’t have to wear so much black The way I say "I love you" Is not the way you say "I love you" It’s true If I wrote you this song Would you tell me baby it’s all wrong If you’re here to apologize Well listen I can’t hear no more of your lies If you loved me like I love you still It wouldn’t change the outcome of how you feel Unrequited it’s how you get your thrill Bottles hearts and tears will always spill

Shakin' 02:00
Hey schoolgirl I’m a school boy Hey schoolgirl I’m a school boy You’re late for class cause I know you been shakin’ that ass Hey teacher I’m the principal Hey teacher I’m the principal And you’re late for class cause I know you been shakin’ that ass Shake it shake it all night long Shake it shake it one more song Shake it shake it all night long Cause you know it ain’t wrong Hey janitor I’m a fucking mess Hey janitor I’m a fucking mess I’m late for class cause you know I've been shakin’ that ass

Tonearms 02:24
A boy can cry And not know why The sun can’t stay Can’t shine everyday A girl can leave I’m still so naive There's rules to the game We know them by name What will I do If I can’t have you? What will I say To my heart when you’re away? Tonearms will hold your memory My heart rate increases As I fall to pieces There’s an ache in my chest But I’m doing my best
7.
Blackout speaks in a number of different tongues Not going to wait while you sit and twiddle your thumbs Can I have a little of you attention? Start a fire and move it right along Trampling the weak and burying the strong Can I have a little of you attention? Savage rumble blowing you a kiss You had it bad but never quite like this
8.
What am I gonna do without your loving? Might as well put my head inside the oven I want it I want it I want some more I need it I need it Just like before What am I gonna do when you can’t hear me? Girl I’m freaking out when you’re not near me I don’t want nobody If I can’t have you It can’t be just anybody Girl it’s got to be you
9.
Baby baby How’d I catch your eye? You stole me away and you didn’t even try Making out is never second best It’s leaps and bounds when you look inside my chest You're making my heart melt I think you’re thinking of someone else Baby baby How’s you’re wandering eye You’ve moved on and you didn’t even try Going out is a little second guessed There won’t be a need to have my heart recessed You're making my heart welt I think you’re thinking of someone else
10.
Say No More 02:12
When I met you dear Your love was so sincere But somehow you’re not here Here no more Don’t call or text or write Or kiss me goodnight If love is blind you’ve seen Seen the light Did you scare yourself away Or was your heart in some kind of dismay Or is there nothing left to say Say no more I won’t ask you to stay if you want out I don’t mind if I don’t see you around
11.
Reach out to vaguedom in the darkend night Retype you will 'cause you’re ready to die But you know But you know It’s not true A thousand chica’s with a polar glare Thought you slipped them but they caught you there But you know You know It’s not true Mariachi smoke break Sounds like an earthquake Mariachi smoke break Oh for heaven sake Planet tipsy was a total bust Nothing short of my usual lust But you know But you know It’s not true
12.
I never knew that I could ever feel like this Girl you’re on my mind And every time I think I want to steal a kiss Girl you mesmerize Hold me in your arms just a little bit longer Kiss me on the lips just a little bit softer Tell me that this moment was meant to be It’s such a shame that you’re so far away What am I going to do? It kills me when I have to tear myself away Do you feel it to? Hold me in your arms just a little bit longer Kiss me on the lips just a little bit softer Tell me that this moment was meant to be Squeeze me in your arms just a little bit tighter Kiss me on the lips just a little bit harder Tell me that this moment was meant to be

about

Self-described “carport rock,” Friends Of Cesar Romero are a prolific garage punk outfit that is at times deliberately non-catchy then at other times extremely so. It’s a full length, despite the cassingle packaging. Limited to just ninety copies, it’s a delightful sample of the neo garage punk they’ve been playing for the past seven years or so. Count me in as a friend of Friends Of Cesar Romero. –Art Ettinger/RAZORCAKE

"Trashionista!" is packed full incredibly catchy punk rock that straddles garage rock, pop punk and something you might have heard bubbling up from the underground in the late 70s.
I don't understand why my shelf isn't packed with records by this band, who are simply outstanding. -Tim PopKid

It’s 2018 and Johnny GoGo has called an audible outside of the Friends Of Cesar Romero playbook. Porcupine had a new album written, but wanted to try something different. Rather than engineer, produce and play all the instruments himself, Porcupine enlisted the help of Denver based musicians Chuck “Papa Bear” Coffey and Tyler “Spartacus” Merkel to act as rhythm section and co-producers during the recording sessions for the album. This approach resulted in twelve compact garage-pop gems culled from the never-ceasing mind of a creative master and fleshed out by two willing and able sidemen. Snappy Little Numbers will release this new album, “Trashionista!,” on 8/3/18 and GoGo will once again assemble a collection of tried and true mates to recreate the FOCR magic in a live setting through the fall of 2018
