(21-09-'06)They have announced plans to go on an indefinite hiatus. They had this to say:
As you've no doubt noticed, we haven't announced our fall tour dates yet. The reason being is that the band, after 9 years playing together, is going on an indefinite hiatus. We basically burned ourselves out after our 9 week tour this summer and most of us are looking forward to being home for awhile and having some sense of normality.
(26-12-'08) At Songs from a Scene, Lucky Boys Confusion announced they will be releasing a new album sometime in 2009 and played one of their new songs "It Should Have Been Me"
In 2009 the band released Closing Arguments, a full-length album mostly comprised of outtakes and demos.
In May 2012, guitarist and founding member Joe Sell passed away in Chicago at the age of 33. In 2017, Lucky Boys Confusion released their album "Stormchasers".
Evidence
Lucky Boys Confusion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone always caught the middle of a ruckus
Move over move over Mr. Johnny cool money
Don't you be acting tough in front of Gold diggers love
I never got caught with the apple in my pocket,
If I'm gonna sport a hat, you know I'm gonna cock it.
All out of 40s, not even 32s.
Hey, you got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey you got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
Hey, you got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey you got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
I'm not the type of kid that you bring home to daddy,
Five pimps rolling up, bumpin' in cockboy's caddy.
Windows rolled down, smoke pouring out,
Water cooler conversations what we're all about.
I'm 145 but my fists move quickly,
If I don't kick your ass, we got chilly willy.
All out of 40s, not even 32s.
The old man's after you.
Hey, you got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey you got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
Hey, you got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey you got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
Always thought this last forever,
You're never satisfied,
You're afraid of what you're after,
Maybe you just can't decide.
You're accusing me of changing,
Maybe I'm changing too.
I just cannot bear to lose
Hey, you got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey you got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
Hey, you got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey you got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
Hey, we got the evidence,
So it's irrelevant
It's not the truth, it's black and white.
Hey we got the evidence,
So leave your bloodhounds at the door.
The lyrics of "Evidence" by Lucky Boys Confusion are about a rebellious teenager who constantly finds himself in trouble with the law. The first verse talks about a kid who knows when to give up and move on from a fight, unlike the singer who always ends up caught in the middle of it. The lyrics then shift to the singer talking about not getting caught with an apple in his pocket, meaning he has a knack for avoiding trouble despite his rebellious nature. He also talks about how he always wears his hat at an angle (or "cocks it"), and how he doesn't have any drinks left, making reference to a possible party or gathering. The second verse continues with the same theme, where the singer talks about how he's not the kind of kid you take home to daddy, and how he hangs out with five "pimps" in a flashy car. He also refers to his ability to fight, and how he can't afford anything bigger than a 32-ounce drink.
The chorus talks about evidence and how it's important to have it because it can help people avoid trouble. The singer seems to be aware that people are always looking for evidence to use against him or his friends, so he tells them to leave their "bloodhounds at the door." The last part of the song is a bit more introspective, where the singer talks about how he feels like he's changing and growing up, but he doesn't want to lose who he is in the process.

love this particular cover because it has a lot of the same feel and characteristics of the original. The addition of the harmonics and small tweeks here and there, particularly in the bass line make this cover fantastic. :) many thumbs up!

So, i love this song I listened to some other versions and they SUCK Theyre all the same as the original with a different vocalist, a piano, or something small like that But lbc...they made it punk This is by far the best version, and even if you have never heard of lbc give it a try because its pretty hard to not like Thumbs up if agreement ^

AMAZING COVER, Favorite local band growing up for sure!

My favorite of the seemingly innumerable covers of this pretty fantastic song.
Grey LeVaux
Dude, ABSOLUTELY!! John Easdale puts emotion into the lyrics on this song. You feel his desperation, his plea, as if you were right there with him. If this song could be remastered in a studio, bass line enhanced a bit, this could be one of the greatest non-mainstream / Top 40ish songs ever to be recorded. Dramarama's song is easily a gem, a diamond amongst debris, true alternative masterpiece. This is one of my absolute top 100 favorite songs EVER recorded in history.

Man I love this cover
$iLvErWaRe dishes on...
@stokley51 I agree that's exactly why I like this particular cover more than anyother. They did a good job of keeping the same feel but still added their own flavor to spice it up a bit.
