You've been talking in your sleep What is that supposed to mean? I heard that song You know the one I've been staying up for days It's hard to turn things off when you can't just assimilate Been painting pictures in my head Off the deep once again, at least you're safe and sound in bed But you knew that song that I was thinking of You always do that, you hold the truth back That's when things go wrong But you knew that song that I was thinking of You always do that, you hold the truth back I always knew that, the blue would turn red That's when things go wrong

Nine 03:08
At nine we took the T to the red line Into Boston just to get a bite And an Anderson film and we cried But we both denied it all night We always drink too much And we never have enough I know I've done too much I love you I want you to go down on me In a car like an SUV You make me so mad You're the only one that I had You hit me with a pizza box I was only wearing my socks I want you to lie Tell me everything is alright At nine we took the T to the red line Into Boston just to get a bite And an Anderson film and we cried But we both denied it all night We always drink too much And we never have enough I know I've told you too much We took the T to the red line Into Boston just to get a bite I want you to know You're the only place that I'll go I want to leave right now And God'll tell me how You said this lasts forever But that was just a lie There was no reason why I think my brain is fried I think I'm gonna cry You just want me to die

You musta been asleep for maybe fifteen months You look just like you've been-ah comatose You've got the thick-rimmed glasses with the lenses gone I can't say that I'm a fan of those You musta-musta-musta-musta missed my call I've been trying to reach you for three days You've got a kind of swagger you've never had before In the worst kind of way I'm sorry That we had to I'm sorry I'm sorry But we have to I'm sorry You cop an attitude that is plenty rude You're looking down on everyone as weak You've got the Whole Foods chic Yeah, you've got the Whole Foods chic You're always hanging 'round with skinny people Skinny people who don't like me I always used to think I always knew you But now it ain't what it used to be I'm sorry That we have to I'm sorry I'm sorry But we have to I'm sorry You're always hanging 'round with skinny people Skinny people who don't like me You're always hanging 'round with skinny people Skinny people who don't like me I'm sorry I'm sorry

I play my jangly guitar just for you When you came on my eyes were drawn to your every move I also play on the left side But unlike you I can only use my right We can play your favorite Springsteen songs all night Lonesome Day, Thundercrack, and Blinded By The Light I know you got a couple years on me Who's counting down from 25 to 23 Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off Left side Left side Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off I dig your hair, your celebrations, and your pace Couple that with your knack for finding open space Looks like I won't be seeing you for a year When you come back you know I'll still be standing right here Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off Left side Left side Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off Left side Left side Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide Ah-ah-ah, I Wanna pick her off She plays wide She plays wide She plays wide Oh! She plays wide

Get Clean 03:43
A three-striped shoe in an empty room An upside-down guitar out of tune An old friend found And yet another night sunk and drowned A stack of books with the curtains closed You'll never read of them but nobody knows Well your flight's delayed It's time you found a way to take control What was green turned brown And that'll still be here when you're in the ground if you walk away I need to get clean But how And old friend finds you And I'm here to remind you sunk and drowned

Drifting 02:10
I'll go drifting no more I'll go drifting no more I'll go drifting no more 'Cause you're the one that I adore 'Cause I'm a darkened sky And you're a cloud burst 'Cause I'm a walking dead And you're a funeral hearse 'Cause I'm a terminal flu And you're a potion to cure 'Cause I'm a verminous scum And you're a soup du jour 'Cause I'm a rickety step And you're a warning sign 'Cause I'm a subway drunk And you're the end of the line 'Cause I'm a frozen pond And you're an igneous stone 'Cause I'm a spider's bite And you're exposing the bone I'll go drifting no more I'll go drifting no more I'll go drifting no more 'Cause you're the one that I adore I'll go drifting no more I'll go drifting no more I'll go drifting no more 'Cause you're the one that I adore

No Jazz 05:31
In my summer days I tend to seek the shade, get lost in the Parade around your street at night It's not our home babe, our home was not disguised Our home was not disguised Yeah but I will build me up again I'll take your words away And make pretend you did me wrong Convict you in a song Orange flavored falling feeling Expectation masquerade Excuse me now I was just leaving Second thought babe: I think that I should stay I think that I should stay Yeah but I will build me up again I'll take your words away And make pretend you did me wrong Convict you in a song Yeah but I will build me up again I'll take your words away And make pretend you did me wrong Convict you in a song In a song In my summer days I tend to seek the shade, get lost in the Parade around your street at night It's not our home babe, our home was not Orange flavored falling feeling Expectation masquerade Excuse me now I was just leaving Second thought babe: I think that I should stay I think that I should stay I think that I should stay

about

"...Surprise Party is a three-piece with impeccable chemistry. Guitarist Robbie Perry, bassist Jeff Silva, and drummer Lee Martin are the key players on the album. Perry’s jangly rock riffs are perfectly accompanied by Silva’s walking pop basslines. Martin’s drumming is, at times, dynamic and fill-heavy, but is consistent and provides a rocking back-beat..."

- The Lowell Spin
lowellspin.com/2018/01/review-surprise-party-dull/

"...Having had to survive what feels like a long cold winter in the UK this is the perfect album to warm you up. It’s power pop and surf combination will have you dreaming of warm sandy beaches. Importantly, it also retains a sense of grit which stops it becoming too unbearably ‘sunny’. Maybe that’s the bit which brings a bit of a British pop feel in to the mix!"
