TBI have taken a turn for the rock. Already Decatur celebrities, Josh and Eliot are expanding more every day. But in spite of their new rock sound and growing popularity. They still have the local folk scene under their belts.
They can do anything from putting tears in your eyes, with songs such as Every Little Piece Of My Heart or Didn't See The Change. Or they can split your sides and put tears of laughter with Angry Lesbian or The Narcoleptic Nymphomaniac.
Whether they will at some point play Hampton, or they stick to playing Eddie's Attic. With a new album in the works, The Brilliant Inventions is a name that you will here around Atlanta for quite some time.
Just the Same
The Brilliant Inventions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving your black Volkswagen
Blinked and you were gone
I could have been wrong
Or maybe it's all imagined
Yes, I know, I let you go
You don't want me around
What are you thinking
Are you out cruising bars
You were so good at drinking
What became of us
You hate my guts and I'm to blame
But I still miss you just the same
Now that I am free
I don't want to be
And I don't want my stuff back
You've got my favorite cds
My new David Mead
And I've got your yoga mat
And after all if I should call
I don't know what you'd say
But I wonder where you are
What are you thinking
Are you out cruising bars
You were so good at drinking
What became of us
You hate my guts and i'm to blame
But i still miss you just the same
Way i would if it went the other way
Just try to get through these nights
And the longest days
But anyway
I wonder where you are
What are you thinking
Are you out cruising bars
Are you alone and drinking
What became of us
You hate my guts and i'm to blame
But I still miss you just the same
Just the same
Just the same

Also the guy who invented insulin didn't patent it, the aforementioned chemical now is sold at 600 in the US for very, very tiny, life-saving vials. Its very cheap to make, too.
