The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril!


Rude City Riot, "Don't Go Away" from the Rude City Riot E.P. (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: Mayhap she left you, dude, because you never talked about her as an individual, only as the fulfillment—ever the perfect fulfillment—of a checklist of attributes. I've often remarked that heartbreaks & breakups are par for the course in third-wave ska, but let it never be said that I claimed the rude boys were blameless for these romantic misadventures.
"I never knew why
You started to cry,
(Started to cry!)
Never ever knew that old sadness inside ya
Was just a lie.

"You left me today
To find your own way
(Find your own way!)…

"Don't go away,
Don'tcha go away,
Don'tcha go away from me!
You're everything,
You're everything,
Everything a girl should be!…"
