\"Lyric<\/a>For the remainder of this year, I’m focusing on some of my all-time favorite lyrics. Splitsville<\/strong> is one of favorite bands that you probably have never heard of. Which is a shame because the band produced some amazing power pop songs while they were together.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Brink<\/em><\/a> by Splitsville<\/a> (from 2003’s Incorporated<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

I’ll get there late, don’t get me wrong<\/em>
\nI like your band, but hate your songs<\/em>
\nThe parts that suck <\/em>are obvious<\/em>
\nNeed I explain<\/em> them to you<\/em><\/p>\n

You’re always on the brink<\/em>
\nOf something I can’t take<\/em>
\nIt’s everything you want<\/em><\/p>\n

Straight from our van <\/em>onto the stage<\/em>
\nWhere we will<\/em> dance the night away<\/em>
\nIf you are not<\/em> about to rock<\/em>
\nThen we will not <\/em>salute you<\/em><\/p>\n

It almost makes you think<\/em>
\nThere’s something wrong with fate<\/em>
\nIf everything you want<\/em>
\nIs stuck here on de… lay<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s never a big deal<\/em>
\nAnd that’s your big mistake<\/em>
\nDon’t get me, don’t get me wrong<\/em>
\nDon’t get me wrong<\/em><\/p>\n

You’re always on the brink<\/em>
\nOf something too half-baked<\/em>
\nIt’s everything you want<\/em>
\nBut nothing we can’t… fake<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s never a big deal<\/em>
\nIt’s everything I hate<\/em>
\nDon’t get me, don’t get me,<\/em>
\nDon’t get me wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n
