(original lyrics and music by the Replacements, lyrics re-written by Lost Legion)
Well it gets a out three, everything is cold
Just freaks and wino's growing mold
It's a lot like TV
There ain't a whole lot to see
When you're hangin' downtown
Wait, date, no I can't go
Gotta' stick around and watch my show
It's better than TV
There's a whole lot you can see
When you're hanging' down
Bus stop. Shuttered doors. Liquor stores. Seventeenth. Eighteenth. Bus stop. Bus stop. Bus stop. Anyway, I got no place else to go.
Well, it gets about three and the people swell
Downtown's burning up like hell
It's on the TV
But there's a whole lot more to see
When you're hangin' downtown
I love this demo. It's like early Oxblood, but from rural Alabama. The guitarist was in a band called Jackpot Justice that I used to see all the time when I was a kid. Lost Legion

Been listening to punk since the late eighties, and I can tell you this is great stuff. 77-style punk with great songwrting and melodies that will remain in your head for days. Thomas Mellaerts

This is one of those albums where I have a different favourite track every week, and it's been like that since the release that is now a year ago. What a massive album, starting out with fist pumping chants and gradually getting more electro but always with that punk grit attitude. Top 3 of 2023. Gijs van Soest
