Beat Happening

Beat Happening is an American indie pop and punk rock band formed in Olympia, Washington in 1982. Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis and Bret Lunsford have been the band's continual members. Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie pop and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a childish or coy nature. more »

I try to walk away 
To prove I was in control
Thereâ??s got to be a cure
This canâ??t go on no more
Dressed in black in the midday sun
Break the ice and on the run
Keep this up there wonâ??t be none

I try to be real cool
You lock me in a room 
You try to take off your dress
We both know what happened next
And when my skirt begins to ache
I realize that itâ??s too late
To love you like a chocolate cake
Because we both know youâ??re my dream date

Wear an old potato sack
Trailer for a hat
Haircut for a bowl
Two eyes made of coal
One two three, one two four
The bees are hop, the bees are ho
But thatâ??s one thing sheâ??ll never know
