I can't believe this song didn't make it onto the album. This song rules.

Good for your soul had the best cut songs, its version of Lost like this is a million times better than the final one in my opinion, it's great hearing my favorite cut song in a somewhat high quality

hi shay

[@everybodys_mr._bad_guy]

gfys gotta be my favorite era, straight bangers both on and off the album

1:56 God that fucking bassline. Only Kerry W

This copy of Rough 2 (or Mix 2 whatever it is) is probably the best quality we will hear this track, the most common copy of this that floats around has several audio glitches, while this one only had one (I patched it out with a lower quality source) I hope you enjoy!

Great song, should've been on the album, like most of their songs. I honestly would've had a completely different tracklist if I were in charge of putting it together. But even the songs I'd replace aren't bad at all. Just shows their true power and talent.

[@dusathemaid]

Seriously, even the songs they didn't deemed worth it for the album are stellar! How cool is that!?

[@person9605]

damn this is great. should've been on the album

[@everybodys_mr._bad_guy]

i really love this song but i can't help but wonder what a finished version of their original demo would have sounded like. not honestly sure which version i like better because they're simply different takes. this is the only version i found without the audio glitch so that's very cool

[@Razor12704]

that's cos I patched it out with another copy I have, although I do regret not turning down the bass in this mix lol

[@everybodys_mr._bad_guy]

@@Razor12704 was it too loud? ngl i didn't notice, but i may be biased since i have a hearing tendency towards bass anyways

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

Do you mind if I download this to give some remastering?

[@Razor12704]

yeah I'll send it your way!

[@dusathemaid]

PLS DO!

[@shaytheguy8846]

YES YES ITS MY FAVORITE CUT SONG

[@r.d.5294]

There are some lyrics I can't quite make out, but I gave it my best shot. Appreciate any help on this! Ever since, my memory, gave out long ago I've waited here, so patiently For you to telephone Now it's true, I wait for you To lead me out of here 'Til that time, I sit and hide Shaking in my den of fear Waiting for you, To rescue me You're everything that I want you to be You'll see the savage, In my soul You'll quell the fire when it's out of control Can't tell the right things from the wrong I try to find them, but it takes too long I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you (x2) I'm waiting for you to come to me I read the news, I watch the tube (Watch it all night long) I try and tell, the difference from The right things and the wrong Sometimes when, I stare real hard (Think I see your face) Seems so real, that I could swear Jumps right out of the TV set You're climbing mountains, you'll sail the sea All of these things you will do for me You'll pack my wallet, you'll scratch my back You'll look at me from every attack You'll put the commies, in their place You'll rid disease from the whole human race But when I wake up in my bed I haven't found you yet and it's not fair I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you (x2) I'm waiting for you to come to me I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you I'm waiting for you to come to me I'm waiting for you (x4)

[@Razor12704]

I usually sing "Ever since my memory, gave out long ago." and I also sing "Shaking in my denim gear" but in the recent Oingo Boingo Secret Appreciation Society Podcast episode they think it's "Shaking in my den of fear"

[@r.d.5294]

@@Razor12704 Makes sense!! Updated my lyrics just now :-)

[@armouredgoblin]

pretty sure he says "I try to find out" instead of "I try to fight them"

[@dragostego]

@@r.d.5294 I think its , You'll Soothe the savage, instead of see the savage
