VERSE
Db/Ab Gb/Ab Ab
You gotta keep the cops out of the ransom game
Ask Stan Grossman, he'll tell you the same
Db/B
I know you think you know what to do
Db/Ab Ab
but this deal ain't for you
CHORUS
Db (Db/Eb) E (E/Gb) Ab
This is my deal here, Wade, this is my deal
You don't know how it feels
Db/Gb (Db/Ab) Bbm add Ab
To have to deal with this all alone
Db/Gb Eb
With a kidnapper on the phone
Db Ab
This is my deal here, Wade
VERSE 2
You liked my land proposal, you said it looked pretty sweet
But then you went and yanked the rug from right under my feet
But this time you've got no say
We're gonna do this my way
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Fm Eb/Bb
I don't know what I did to you that you never liked me
Db/Ab
Don't try to deny it, everyone can see
Bbm (Bbm/Db) Ab/Eb Eb
I know you're a bigshot, I know you are rich
Ab/Db Db Ab
But the fact remains, Wade, you're a son-of-a-bitch
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
For me and my crusty, ringing ears, the tribute album lost it's charm long ago. But once in a while, there's still one that hits it outta the park. When the subject is as great as SLOAN, it's a can't lose proposition. I've never heard the majority of the acts here (tho I'm a big fan of Fireking), but damned if I hear a duff track on this set. If you're already a fan of the Halifax Heroes don't think twice, nab this 31 track monster! Another winner from Futureman. Robbiecube
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff! Matthew Laurence
