Bonus! Song o' Last Night: SKAugust

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "7 Ways to Sunday" from A Jackknife to a Swan (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: The Bosstones played "7 Ways to Sunday" as the opening song of the encore at last night's show, an acoustic rarity & highly idiosyncratic choice.
"Seven ways to Sunday,
Seven separate ways to Sunday,
But he did not know which one
Would save him so he had to try
Every code and combination
On the road to his salvation,
There were no two ways about it,
He had seven ways to try…

"He had to try all seven,
So he tried them to high-heaven,
From one end to the other,
And then he turned around.
He was thoroughly exhausted,
And his faith had been accosted,
He tried seven ways and wondered
Why it was he hadn't found
What he was looking for is not much more
Then what we all are looking for
But nowadays it seems like there is precious little of!

"Desperate and alone,
He turned over every stone,
He tried seven ways to Sunday,
He was looking for love…"
