JESSICA: Jessica, the burning is still here. Come to my house, let's go outside, the city is looking fine. You'll be fine in at least 20 years. I'm rotting too, my dress impress, but my hair are so '92. Jessica, you're parents are just dumb. Take a book, enjoy this bed, let's drink a bottle of wine. Boys are dumb and we don't need them. We'll grow old, but don't forget that men are even worst. Take a stand, ????? ???????, The 40 bus to nowhere near here. One last look at your so-called friends and we'll be all gone. See you around. Jessica, with no makeup, you look better, it's alright. Paint your way out of this town, out of this school, it's alright. Jessica, you are my friend who needs a ????, fuck his smile. Jessica you look so " out of town" tonight. Pants and shirts are not expensive, if you go to the right places. Let's cut our hair and look like cute gay boys.???? ??? ???, there's something to drink. Jessica, with no makeup, you look better, it's alright. Paint your way out of this town, out of this school, it's alright. Jessica, you are my friend who needs a ????, fuck his smile. Jessica you look so " out of town" tonight. Pants and shirts are not expensive, if you go to the right places. Let's cut our hair, look like cute gay boys. There's still fun, we'lll be drinking. Jessica, with no makeup, you look better, it's alright. Paint your way out of this town, out of this school, it's alright. Jessica, you are my friend who needs a ????, fuck his smile. Jessica you look so " out of town" tonight. FUCK COOL FM: No idea what the lyrics are. ROSES & ROCKS: Picking up roses & rocks to throw at bad cops. We won't win but at least we will make them think. Yeah ? ????? will ??? help me to to hide my lies behind you gun. Can you please hit people with no heads, no heads at all. Wasting another night. Pretending we're doing fine. I know that this is wrong and I know that we'll die young. Call me dumb or just don't you call me at all. I don't need anything that you might pretend to bring. Cut me down, cut my hand, drink my blood on the floor. Is it good ? Is it fun to feel your bones breaking ? Wasting another night. Pretending we're doing fine. I know that this is wrong and I know that we'll die young. It's way too dark now. It's way too dark now. It's way too dark now. It's way too dark now. Picking up roses & rocks to throw at bad cops. We won't win but at least we will make them think. Yeah ? ? ????? will ??? help me to to hide my lies behind you gun. Can you please hit people with no heads, no heads at all. Wasting another night. Pretending we're doing fine. I know that this is wrong and I know that we'll die young. It's way too dark now. It's way too dark now. It's way too dark now. It's way too dark now. DO YOU LIKE ME ? You know that i think you're dumb ? And you you are fucking annoying. My friends they hate you too and we don't care about your band. Fuck this i'm going home. It's not funny anymore. Your hair look like Pat John Doe. You're ??? ??????. D'you like me ? D'you like me now ? D'you like me ? D'you like me ? You know that i'm really fat ? And I talk behind your back. All my tattoos are fake. I don't wash myself at all. My clothes they smell like shit. I don't have money to eat. My apartment smells even worst cuz my cats shit everywhere. D'you like me ? D'you like me now ? D'you like me ? D'you like me ?

about

This was a side project thing that happened in 2002 when Simon, Hugo & Kick Up were at the practice space ( Simon's basement in Laval ) wihtout Le Wood & Fred Jacques. At the time, their other band; The Sainte Catherines were practicing almost every day to write the songs that would become THE ART OF ARROGANCE ( released in 2003 ).
They would play Tony Hawk on Playstation, make fun of Simple Plan and eat Pizza Pochettes de McCain. Sometimes they wrote those songs and practiced them. They were in a " WINNIPEG PHASE " and were really into The Bonaduces, Painted Thin and The Weakerthans, but wanted to mix that sound to a more classic pop-punk feel, like Osker and Blink 182. Hugo learned to sing and play bass at the same time.
Oakland only played one show: at L'X with Moneen...in 2002.
It took 15 years for Hugo to decide to sing and play an instrument at the same time with his now solo thing MUDIE. This was recorded on a 4-track tape recording by Simon. We called it the Studio In a Box.
We don't know what Simon does now. He quit The Sainte Catherines in 2002 also. Maybe because of Oakland.
Kick Up now plays drums in Beauregard.
Hugo now plays guitar and sing in MUDIE and maybe he does other things that he doesn't even know about.
The songs are:
JESSICA : about girls being tired of dumb dudes
FUCK COOL FM: about Hugo & Kick Up who got in a fight with the bouncer of 281.
ROSES & ROCKS: About going to protests and not being really sure that this was the right way to protest. See " FUCK G20, GO V8" from The Sainte Catherines, for exact same topic.
DO YOU LIKE ME ? About becoming some kind of an example, " idol" in the punk scene when The Sainte Catherines started getting some little bit of attention in this VERY small world. Very uncomfortable feeling when you are angry and want to tell everyone to fuck off.

Can't really figure out the lyrics. Can't sing very well and it sounds like shit.
