"Boring Town '23"
Just talked to this girl who used to live on my street
After all these years you're here and you remember me
She said her old boyfriend
Packed up and headed back east
But she always knew someday he would go
She just got a new job and she doubts it will last
So let's take a drink and never think and here's to the past
She says it's so funny how life burns out so fast
It's just another wasted day
A boring life in a boring town
In the same old crowd
And I used to say that I'd never stay
But I'm rotting here today
With that same old crowd that's always been around
And I always thought I'd be the first to go
That same old crowd that drags me down
Another day in a boring town
That same old crowd that brings me down
A boring life in a boring town
Just talked to this girl who used to live here on my street
After all these years you're here
And it's still just you and me
Sometimes I can't believe after all these years
I just think I'll never leave here
She said it's so funny how life burns out so fast
So let's take another drink and here's to the past
That same old crowd that drags me down
Another day in a boring town
That same old crowd that brings me down
A boring life in a boring town
And remember when they'd look through you
And they'd look past me
We were the ones they said would always leave
So when you go, just think of me
Think of me
A boring life in a boring town
In the same old crowd
And I used to say that I'd never stay
But I'm rotting here today
With that same old crowd that's always been around
And I always thought that
Yeah and I always thought that
Yeah and I always thought I'd be
The first to go
A boring life,
A boring town.
A boring life,
A boring town.
A boring life,
In a boring town.

The lyrics actually make even more sense when sung by people in their late forties/early fifties - great version of a great song!

[@ThePapranazi]

God, this takes me back.. The band sounds as great as they ever did. Please do some songs from Losing Streak too!!!

[@adamhill2721]

F@ck YA!!! The good old days. would love to see some concerts put together with some of these bands like old WARP tour. The "When we were young" tour had to many big names & ended up too expensive. But the fans of these bands haven't gone anywhere, & now we've all got more money.... NEW WARP TOUR!?!?!

[@diceb0mb]

Would love to see Al's War and Nervous in the Alley too!!

[@brandonfoor5147]

The horns sound huge! And Chris and Rog’s harmonies are so clear and lock step. Only things are I miss Rogers “Woooohh” during Chris’s last “Think of me.”and is it just me or does it feel like 5BPM slower than the original?

[@ThePapranazi]

It does, but it works to the song's benefit imo, has more of a groove to it

[@dannycarrick3739]

It definitely works for me. Getting older n all that 😂

[@dylanlivingston556]

100% agree with Roger's backup on the "think of me" it felt a little empty.

[@kewuofthedownside]

IMAGINE THEY DO THIS FOR BORDERS IN 2025🫡

[@dannycarrick3739]

I hope they do tbf. Another cracking album.

[@levijustice6742]

I don't wanna be a negative Nancy but I'm not super big on these new re-recordings. I've been listening to Hello Rockview for a LONG time now and while having super clean and clear instruments and vocals is admittedly very nice the high energy of the original album recordings is kinda lost here. Just my opinion. It's cool that y'all did it for the Anniversary, I'm just giving you my honest take on it.

[@SuburbanHell]

Thank you. Felt like I was going crazy reading the comments absolutely loving these tracks and I'm like "but the mix just sounds wrong"

[@pjslon2218]

I love the songs on Hello Rockview, but it's definitely one of the absolute worst recordings I've ever heard in my life. Everything sounds like that actual instruments were completely replaced by computer effects. I only wish they re-recorded the entirety of the album instead of just these two songs.

[@dannycarrick3739]

It is possible to enjoy both elements tho. I'll always love n be an advocate for the original thrashy, messy, punk sound n kinda hate the need for the perfect sound of the 21st century. But I feel this works quite well for LTJ. Back in the day, I felt that some of the more intricate & subtle sounds were lost amongst the distortion of some tracks. Each to their own tho 🤘👊💜

[@thehonorablereverendaddiso1943]

While it's good, I really don't see the point of the rerecording

Why not
