lyrics

Gather round
I'll tell you why
you should always look up at the sky
the shooting star that you might miss
could be your only hope
your only wish

Extra! Extra!
read all about it
you know you wanna you can't live without it
they'll seduce you with larger than life lies
they'll catch your dollar
and then they'll make you blind

Extra! Extra!
read all about it
they've got your remedy you know you want it
your life can't be good
can't be good without
it so step right up
and they'll dispense it to you...

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah...
Did you hear about the girl who sang the blues
and asked if there was happy news
I don't know if it's really true
should I care how about you...

How about you, how about you...

Gather round I'll tell you why
you should always look up at the sky
The shooting star that you might miss
could be your only chance at eternal bliss

What about the guy who crossed the line
whose drums beats to a different time
I don't know if it's really true
should I care how about you..

How about you, How about you, how about you...

Extra! Extra!
read all about it
they've got your ticket they know you want it
they'll promise you all
that you desire
they'll take your money
and then they'll steal your mind...
they'll steal your mind
they'll rob you blind
they'll steal your mind
they'll rob you blind

Frenchy and the Punk New Paltz, New York

Through their unmistakable blend of influences from post-punk, dark folk to new wave, goth & punk cabaret, FnP have forged their own distinct path since 2005, touring the US & Europe.
French-born Stephenson sings w/ a gothy heft & authority. Former punk bassist turned guitarist, live looping master Helland weaves his spidery electro/acoustic guitar noir riffage to perfectly complement Stephenson. ... more
