lyrics

hard to explain, everything's changed, since the days when I would call you Lola
in Frederick MD, where coffee ain’t free, got me a cup at cafe nola
got a graduate job, I’m acting a slob, spent all my money on a girl
I’d move along, but singing this song is sure taking all the time in the world

when nothing feels right,
and you sit alone and turn out the lights,
wanna feel as though someone hears you cry,
I’ve had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

hen I was nine, taking my time, the sun was high and so were you
then late into my teens, traveling through scenes, glimpses of the past still rang true
now the city has lost a place in my heart that it once easily occupied
the scenery's changed, and except for the name, everything good just seems to have died

when nothing feels right,
and you sit alone and turn out the lights,
wanna feel as though someone hears you cry,
I’ve had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

I’m not sure tomorrow is gonna be better
I kinda felt yesterday was the same
but mother as sure as I’m writing this letter to you, well, its looks like rain
yea it looks like rain

so we wait, and we wait, at the cafe 'til late
so we wait, and we wait, at the cafe for as long as it takes tonight

Champagne Room Atlanta, Georgia

Champagne Room is a band from Atlanta, Georgia. Blown together from across the nation in pursuit of formal education, the band is comprised of five young souls: Andy, the jazz drummer; Gorgeous John, on raucous sax; Derek, the surf punk guitarist; Jared, the blue-eyed soul singer; and Charlie, the major rager on the four-string scepter. The music is the collision of all these elements with fate. ... more
