about

Look, we're not your mom, you make your own decisions and accept your own consequences. So beyond the standard disclaimer that we are in no way endorsing the combination of intoxicants and either driving or swimming, that is essentially the point of the song. If your ambivalence about life is such that you want to engage in parasuicidal behaviors, that's an option, but if you don't genuinely wish to risk loss of life, don't convince yourself that buying into the death-by-party lifestyle makes you any cooler or any less of a prick (who says "lunting" anymore?). And especially, especially, especially, if you choose to flirt with dying while fucked up, you owe it to the rest of the world to try swimming and not driving. Enjoy the song!

lyrics

Sick of going through this world alive
I wanna get fucked up, I wanna go for a drive
To burn motor oil through this mortal coil
Melodrama, politics aside

You can come along, but the flesh is weak
And I don't like to speak when I go lunting
With our roles assigned, we can sleep behind
This Potemkin village fronting

Sweet siren song that calls me home
Let's get fucked up and go swimming
I hate this town when the sun goes down
Let's get fucked up and go swimming

Pecan Sandy, my boon companion
I left you standing at your dad's place
But you rubbed my hair and then we burned that chair
For its resistentialistic ways

You wouldn't know that I'm the Pope of Rome
When I'm zoned and I'm dancing at the motel
And when you took a swing, well God Save the King
It's the same old thing, it doesn't go well

The Hartford Pussies Washington, D.C.

The Hartford Pussies began in South Carolina as a Beat Happening cover band. That band was awesome, but hardly musical; and ultimately yielded Pity Rally. After a relocation to just inside the Capital Beltway, the Pity Rally moniker was retired in favor of The Hartford Pussies, inspired by a deep-rooted love for hockey video games. Band influences include punk and college radio. ... more
