The Fuss, "We're Going Out" from Birth of the Fourth Wave of Ska (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)
Skammentary: Birth of the Fourth Wave of Ska is a compilation I bought acquired of SKApril '19. If it is indeed indicative of ska's long-desired fourth wave, the future will be much more influenced by 1950s & 1960s doo-wop than by 1980s punk, as was the third wave. That's not a complaint, merely an observation. Looking at the history of ska, the fourth wave is already overdue; so, bring it on!
Regarding "We're Going Out," we're not, but we will one day. One glorious day, we will regain our wits & life will resume in all of its grandeur & all of its banality, in all of its splendor & all of its travesty.
"(We're going out tonight) Oh, yes we are!
(We're going out tonight)
It doesn't matter what the day was like,
We're going out tonight.
"Been a while since we had a date,
Been a while since we got to feel this way,
With time so short and life so fast,
Let's do what we can to make it last…
"And we know the days go by
And we all so busy living our lives,
With time so short and life so fast,
Let's do what we can to make it last.
"(We're going out tonight) Oh, yes we are!
(We're going out tonight)
It doesn't matter what the day was like,
We're going out tonight.
"Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow,
Oh, no, no, no worry 'bout tomorrow,
Leave tomorrow for tomorrow,
Oh, for tomorrow…"
