Why
Why ohhh why [repeat 5x]
What is it that I do to get you pissed
Whenever I call you I get a fit
You got my number blocked off on your phone
When I come over they say your not home
And plus we been together too damn long
It time to figure out something is going on
Girl are you trying to be all alone
What is the reason for you trippin on me (baby why dissin me)
A week ago you were in love with me (now your actin like you just met me)
Trying to figure out where we went wrong (please, please talk to me)
You hang up every time I call (hanging up on me)
[Chorus]
Why you keep hanging up the phone in my face
Girl you know that bothers me stresses me
Why you keep hanging up the phone
You got me trying to plot it out
Seating here wilin out
Tell me why
Why you keep hanging up the phone in my face
Girl you know that bothers me stresses me
Why you keep hanging up the phone
You got me trying to plot it out
Seating here just wilin out
Tell me why
So, babe now I guess I've been replaced
Must be another man taking my space
Cause when I call I feel you frown your face
For some reason I feel I've been erased
Honey now slowly peeping game
don't take a genius to know you that changed
I just wish that you would stop playin me
Baby pick up your phone and talk to me
What is the reason for you trippin on me (baby why dissin me)
A week ago you were in love with me (now your actin like you just met me)
Trying to figure out were we went wrong (please, please talk to me)
You hang up every time I call (hanging up on me)
[Chorus]
Why you keep hanging up the phone in my face
Girl you know that bothers me stresses me
Why you keep hanging up the phone
You got me trying to plot it out
Seating here wiling out
Tell me why
Why you keep hanging up the phone in my face
Girl you know that bothers me stresses me
Why you keep hanging up the phone
You got me trying to plot it out
Seating here just wiling out
Tell me why

So glad some uploaded this compilation LP! I finally became a proud owner a decade ago and prior to that I had ordered a cassette copy of this and BS 2 and played them both to the extreme since I loved it so much and wanted it all embedded in my brain!!! Once I was able to order the first one from discogs then I eventually got all 4 of em and probably love the first 2 the best but I truly love em all!! Some many great bands and obscure performances on these recordings and I am so very proud that they're all part of my vinyl collection!!! Thx CRASS and Crass Records!!

..I had this LP back, in, I'm thinking when I was about 16yrs old, so that would've been 1984-85, something like that, I really enjoyed it, and about that time, I had my own punk band, we made demo's of this type quality, on audio tape, and distributed it locally in the Cols, Ohio area, I still play guitar and write poetry and song lyrics, and occasionally jam with my friends..so, this is great to have uploaded on here, I appreciate it, thanks for putting on here, it's like a walk down memory lane, via vinyl time machine, HG Wells with spiky hair, attitude and unemployment..with dreams of changing the world, thru music and content..

This was never about talent. It was about being young and rebellious and hating the system. It was about a sound that was unique to us, that made us stand out and be heard. I loved this, and now as a 56 year old man, I still do. "we don't need that shit, we got our own shit. Good shit, bad shit it's all shit but it's us, it's we, it's ourselves doing it... so do it, fucking do it!" OUR punk was the original. Our punk lead the way. We didn't change the world, but we left a mark.

Awesome. I was in The Sucks, track called three (it starts at about 30mins in) I think I've got the original pre recorded white label copy in my loft, may have to dig it out!
@actionsteed
Hey there Stuart !!!!!! Gosh,I would love to hear more of The Sucks material !!!!! The first time I heard this comp was in '83....well after the fact of course...I tried writing to all the bands involved with this comp with no luck....:( I do have a cassette compilation called "Composed Bananas" with The Sinyx and APF Brigade and assorted)..and to this day I love this material !!!!!!!!! I just wish that I could listen to some of these bands' old basement demos! I'm sure they are impossible to find,but if somebody has them,regardless of sound quality,I would love to hear them !!!!!!!!! Would love to hear more of The Sucks material definitely !!!!! Please let me know !!!!! Cheers Stuart !!!!! A Lifelong Fan......Chris from Detroit......
