SNEEZE ATTACK
MAXWELL

A big ol' slab of Bay Area pop-punk from just north of the bay in Sacramento, reminiscent of all the great stuff that came from Lookout Records in the mid-90's. Loud, poppy and fun fun fun! It simply kicks ass! Yeah!!! This review from MAXIMUMROCKANDROLL puts it better than I can...

"This band exists in the little-visited place were pop punk, twee rock, and fuzzed-out garage intersect. And it's all done with a nod to Phil Spector-style '60s rock. If you could imagine a lo-fi (the) Muffs with cranked up reverb, you might get a little close to the mark. This is a really fun album, and it somehow finds a way to transcend bedroom jams and basement party band simultaneously. The hooks are both catchy and dreamy. I want this album on while I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling, but I also wanna sing along. What a conundrum! Gets better every time you listen to it"

No Good

I’m not good at “how are you?”
and I’m no good at “thank you”
I’m not good at “what is wrong?”
and this is such a random song

I’m no good

I’m not good at “i love you”
and I’m not good at reading you
I’m not good at sit n still
cause it just makes me feel ill

I’m no good

you say I’m good at everything i ever do
you think I believe you
but I know it’s not true

cause I’m no good

Tragedy

This is a tragedy
Maybe a catastrophe
Don’t know what i think of you
Do you wanna be here?
Should i make it pretty clear?
What i really think of you

Cause i don’t even know,
If i want you
I don’t even know,
If i need you
I don’t really know
What i think of you

Is this for the best?
Maybe I should take a test
Before i really see this through
It makes me laugh
It makes me sick
It seems like such a cruel trick
I don’t know what i think of you

Lucy Loves Johnny

She fell in love with a punk rock band
She fell in love with a punk rock guy
She fell in love
And she didn’t know why

oh, Lucy
Lucy loves Johhny

But he can’t love her back
Because he’s dead
Johnny’s dead

Calvin & Susie
(Written by HEAD)

I see you walking home from school
With a ribbon in your hair
And a hola-hoop
Can i stand next to you?

Mark the box on the note I wrote
Do you love me?
Yes or No?
Can I stand next to you?

I knocked you down cause i think you’re cool
Can i follow you home from school?
Can I stand next to you?

I only throw rocks
And pull your hair
And call you names
Cause you know i care
Can i stand next to you?

Who Am I?

Summer’s going no where
and i don’t even think i care
wish it was a rainy day
wash these dumb blues away
Sun is shining, real high
I just want to stay inside

Who Am I?

Friends are changing day by day
I don’t know another way
Who am i supposed to be?
Creative or a worker bee
Do I even have a choice?
I don’t think i have a voice

Who Am I?

What am i supposed to do
If i cannot be with you
Wanna call you on the phone
But I know tat you aren’t home
loosing you changed everything
I don’t even know my name

Who Am I?

Fever
(Written by Eddie Cooley and John Davenport)

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that’s so hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime,
Moon lights up the night
I light up within you call my name,
and you know I’m gonna treat you right

You give me fever
When you kiss you
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody’s got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn’t such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Now you’ve listened to my story
Here’s the point I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever
When you kiss you
Fever when you hold you tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night
Fever all through the night
What a lovely way to burn

Little Miss Know-It-All

You’ve been here
You’ve been there
But I’ve been everywhere
You’ve done this
You’ve done that
But I’ve done everything

You think you know it all,
But I know it all
Little Mis Know-It-All
Oh, I know it all

You tell me this
You tell me that
But I know all your tales
You think you’re right
No you’re wrong
A comeback to stupid song

Fool

You say “I’m a fool”
But I think I’m really cool
You Know?
You say “I dunno”
But I know, You know, I know
I say “I wanna do whatever you wanna do”
Cause I don’t really care,
I just want to be with you

Cause I don’t know how to be,
The one you don’t want to see
Cause I just don’t know,
If you’re gonna stay or go

I play dumb,
But it’s just because of you
Cause I just don’t know what to say around you
when you’re near i just don’t know to be
You always say “(you) like the real me”

One Last Kiss
(Written by cub)

Make a scene
But what do you see?
Take a stand
But how do you lean?
You say “it’s all cinematic”
So why do I feel so anti-climatic?

One Last Kiss

The thrill of success is what you like best
and you blow you’re brains away
you say “give it to me baby”
give it to me baby
give it to me baby

One Last Kiss

See the Virgin Mary
Sitting her tower
she’s got an attorney
if you got an hour to spare
you gotta listen to her tale of woe
You gotta go Mary, go Mary, go Mary,
Go! Go! GO!

Well if you don’t believe in things that you can’t see
And you’re new best friend is my ‘ol TV
You’ve got so much compassion
You love to see it bleed and bleed

Big Shadow

Big shadow
Following me
Is it really what i see?
Am i right?
I maybe wrong
This is just a stupid song
A waste of time
I have no mind
I just have these stupid rhymes
Big shadow
Big shadow
Following me
Big shadow
Big shadow
What do you see?

Big shadow
Following me
Is it real or just a dream?
Is it false?
Or is it true?
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
I feel the need
To run and hide
I feel it burning deep inside
Big shadow
Big shadow
Following me
Big shadow
Big shadow
What do you see?
