Song title: Fast Held Hand
Lyrics:
Your time was well wasted on
The things we’ve said
The things we’ve done
They’ve always been for both of us
And honestly lately I’m inclined to believe
Oh, yeah
That we can pick it all back up from
where we left it
If need be
No good questions I could ask
No more useless amendments
I need my man
“Maybe” is not enough
But I can’t fake it
I am a fast held hand
I am your loving arms
I got people around me I don’t mean to harm
I’m a kid on a freeway
You’re a trucker pulling his horn
Seamless pieces
But well worn
And I know that you’re mad
But this isn’t my car
and these stickers are not my opinions
But you found them reason
to follow me all the way back to my exit in Ripon
I don’t even keep Tahoe blue
You could leave if you wanted to
Oh, leave me
It’d be so easy
I am your biggest fan
I am your wedding song
I’m not used to people knowing something’s wrong
It’s okay not to notice
It’s okay not to need me
What are you talking about?
It was so easy
I am an honest tan
I go where I should
I was stupid to think you’d tell me something good
I am a donor of useless organs, oh baby
Otherwise I would
It’s bad right now
But it was so easy
Yeah, it might be bad right now
But it was so easy

Song title: Eyes Glazed Over
Lyrics:
You don’t know what this means to me
The look on your faces tells me you might agree
But the gold doesn’t go to the bigger man
My every move filled with sentiment, oh
That’s me in the picture
That’s me in your hand
No need to look closer
You don’t know who I am
I’m a lighting bolt
Yeah, I hook to the right
I’m looking to give you some and then some
But I know what the problem is
It’s taking a little time for me to land one, so
Later on when I settle down
And I feel my feet touching back on the ground
I’ll take a break, yeah
I’ll put on the lid
Then pick up the pieces, put’em together
Look at what I did ‘cuz
I’m a Lightning bolt
Yeah, I hook to the right
I’m looking to give you some and then some
But I know what the problem is
It’s taking a little time
‘Cause I’m a little tired
I got big ideas
I’m looking to make a handsome ransom, but I know
What the problem is
It’s taking a little time for me to land one
Good to know it wasn’t all for nothing
when you feel your eyes start glazing over
Just goes to show we’re not permanently talking
even though
Sometimes you swear you barely know her
And I was up to something
Now my day is gone
Looking forward to the morning as I’m waiting for the dawn
My lights were on
What took so long to find a way to fill the silence?
It’s good to know it wasn’t all for nothing
when you feel your eyes start glazing over
Just goes to show we’re not permanently talking
even though
Sometimes you swear you barely know her
And I was up to something
Now my day is gone
Looking forward to the morning while I’m waiting for the dawn
My lights were on
What took so long to find a way to fill the silence?

Song title: Medium Horny
Lyrics:
Oh, maybe I try to impress you with my being a donor
Phoneless lust seems unsafe and unlikely
My neighbors need answers
Give me the question
I’m more than lazy
But I’m less than exciting
And medium horny
You’ve a Rolodex of holy women for me
I’m a sunbeam so she must be lonely
I’m sick of bar banter
But attracted to the neon
Oh, maybe I try not to guess
so I’m just reading it over
Boneless thugs seem to hate and to like me
It’s not what I’m after
But it’s something I can lean on
You used to call me that
(Time suggests we live better than this, better than this)
Hold my glasses
Hold my only key home
Even if they ask us
Blame it on the service of a cellphone

Song title: Baseball Bat
Lyrics:
I bought every word when you told me that
But anything’s convincing with a baseball bat
I was on a roll
I was useless
But I always came home before the news did
Did I think of you then, no
Do I think of you now, yeah
At least I hope so
It’s hard enough figuring out where this place is
So why the long lines?
And why the long faces?
I know
You were
Let down
By my wording
I felt
Sorry
Hey now
Don’t say “for me”
Blue-green
Sunbeam
Fadeout
Now that’s something
They don’t know how they sound
When they’re joking
I didn’t try to stay the same
I wore you out
I changed my name, yes
You are a soft drum in my chest
You fill my lungs
You fit me best, but
I know
You were
Let down
By my wording
I felt
Sorry
Hey now
Don’t say “for me”
Blue-green
Sunbeam
Fadeout
Now that’s something
They don’t know how they sound
When they’re joking

Song title: White Noise
Lyrics:
Lately
I’ve been doing good lately
You said I’m crazy to leave and trust me I wanna believe yuh
So don’t make me
But I was wrong
And you were wrong
And I was broke within half an hour
Baby let your love come down on mine
Baby let your love come down on mine
Like it used to, it used to, it used to, it used to
Even if I was only being clever by saying leave me nothing at the tone
I can’t remember a better laugh
Than when I played it back when I got home
And between the white noise and a light cough
The familiar scrape of a cap being twisted off
Not only did I know that it was you
But I could tell which room
It’s sad but true
I asked what do they have against you
and you said “everything everything everything”
Baby let your love come down on mine
Baby let your love come down on mine
Like it used to, it used to, it used to, it used to

Song title: When You Know, You Know
Lyrics:
Fell asleep, at least I tried
From the bottom bunk instead
of looking for reason to find your bed
Baby don’t wake me every time, no
You don’t have to wake me every time, no
I’d be out of season to decline
Sorry I laughed when you said
“I can’t wait to take it slowly”
When you know you know
These things they tend to grow
I’m happy even though
you’re spending all the time we wasted
Baby don’t wake me every time, no
You don’t have to wake me every time, no
Maybe I seem lucid in your eyes
I don’t wana see that go
Even if we take the long way
I know I’m just making conversation in your car
And I can’t wait to come see you
depending on where you are, but
When you know you know
These questions tend to grow
Anything I need to know before we take this exit
Yeah, I couldn’t just be your loving man
I wana be more than something that’s just steadily moving
If I had a better mouth
I woulda put it down before it got to you
What are you doing?

Song title: Megabus
Lyrics:
I don’t mind
Wasting time
If I’m writing down plans with the opposite hand that’s fine
And it’s funny you ask
It’s easy to catch but hard to find
Know me
So who do you love
Who’s getting drunk on the Megabus
And who do you trust
Who’s putting up with that side of us
Oh, just know me
I can’t lie
For my life
Between saying I’m busy and
Swearing I’m doing just fine
But don’t feed me the line about hurting myself with the dullest knife
Know me
So who do you love
Who’s getting drunk on the Megabus
And who do you trust
Who’s putting up with that side of us
Oh, just know me
Why’re you crying
It grows back, right?
Well I’ll stay ’til the morning
But I’m not staying the night
And while I’m used to the floor
To anything more I go “my, my, my”
Know me
So who do you love
Who’s getting drunk on the Megabus
And who do you trust
Who’s putting up with that side of us
And who’s taking some
It doesn’t matter until it does
And who’s playing dumb
Making it seem like it’s just because
Oh, just know me
Oh, just know me

Song title: Normal Day
Lyrics:
I can’t stay
But you’re no nearer than I’m far away, yeah
I can’t stay
But you’re no nearer than I’m far away
If you ever think I’m being dishonest, I’m not
I just want to spend the summer alone, yeah
Now I’m counting on more good times
and darling it’s a lot
But it might have to wait ’til I get home
I don’t feel it now
I didn’t feel it then
I doubt I’ll feel it when I come out of this comfort zone
I don’t wana make a vow to love you ’til my life ends
But trust me, I can’t do it on my own
I’m trying to give my stuff to the Goodwill
They lied and said that they do not need it
I said I can see some space back there
But they insisted still
I lied and said that’s okay my ride’s about to be here
Only wanting something new to do
I know a thing or two, oh
Only wanting something new
(sad but true)
To do
(despite everything you say)
I know a thing or two
(yes you do, I hope you have a normal day)
Only wanting something new
(sad but true)
To do
(despite everything you say)
I know a thing or two
(yes you do, I hope you have a normal day)

Song title: Finally
Lyrics:
Oh, do you think you need me?
Am I being emotional?
(need to make sure you’re laughing enough)
Just wanna make sure you’re laughing enough
Oh, do you think it’s easy?
Am I being insatiable?
(are we just making it up)
Just wanna know if we’re making it up
I was sleeping when you found me
I’ll never make it hard to be around me
Yes, I am better off now that I know yuh
But everything that I got
will not make up for what I owe yuh
Baby, please
I can hardly treat my body right
Your time was well wasted on me
But I can’t do this every night
Oh, do you think you need me?
Am I being emotional?
(need to make sure you’re laughing enough)
Just wanna make sure you’re laughing enough
Oh, do you think it’s easy?
Am I being insatiable?
(are we just making it up)
I just wanna know if we’re making it up, oh
If you still say it
Tell me now while it’s still warm
Finding it taxing
I was hardly bummed, elated
You were always on
While the drum dumbed on and faded

Song title: Up2You
Lyrics:
Heart
Don’t make it easy
I could die old and lonely
Or I could just leave that up to you
(Up to you, up to you)
If I’m not welcome
I’m still inclined to stay
Don’t you know it
They like you, don’t they
Overlooking reasons on why I came
Don’t you know it
They like you, don’t they
(They like you, don’t they)
I’m not a morning man
Unless it’s late enough
But I’m not rich enough to die
No, I’m not rich enough to die
You won’t find thinner legs
on a bigger bum
‘Cause I’m not rich enough to die
No, I’m not rich enough to die
William H. Macy’s got the upper hand
I was born in the suburbs
But he’s got a bigger plan for me, yeah
My mother’s mother talks in comic sans
I will never not love her
I wish there were more emails to read, yeah
William H. Macy’s got the upper hand
I was born in the suburbs
But he’s got a bigger plan for me, yeah
My mother’s mother talks in comic sans
I will never not love her
I wish there were more emails to read, yeah

French Cassettes San Francisco, California
Harmony-driven power-pop from San Francisco.
The quartet’s new LP, Rolodex, is hook-
filled and rooted in pop, layered with intricate vocal harmonies and counter-harmonies, inventive percussion, and every shade of clean and fuzzy guitars stacked up like an orchestra.
These uncommonly majestic, esoteric pop forms serve as the perfect delivery service for Huerta’s playful and verbose lyrics.
