Hello Hello
The Rentals Lyrics
Hello, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Where the work's not hard
And the century is closing down
I'm not sure what we've got
We really don't need a lot
Hello, hello
I made a lot of mistakes that bear a heavy, heavy weight that I'm ashamed of
And I need to get through to something new where I'm not alone
Hello, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Where the work's not hard
And the century is closing down
I'm not sure what we've got
We really don't need a lot
Hello, hello
Keep coming back to forget
To forget about the things I've done
It's the one place nobody cares
I know where I can go where everybody knows you
Everybody loves you, everybody says this is your home
Hello, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Where the work's not hard
And the century is closing down
I'm not sure what we've got
We really don't need a lot
Hello, hello
Trying to shake all responsibility
Repeating that it don't mean much to me
Staying out of my head all day
Don't want to go back
Don't want to have to face it all
All those disappointments that I've made
Hello
Don't let me go
Hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Don't let me go
Hello, hello, hello
You know I want to stay here with my friends
Stay here till the end
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Hello, hello
Don't let me go
Hello
The century is closing down
The century is closing down
The century is closing down
The century is closing down

There are two bands charting as The Rentals:

The 2009 EPs make up the musical end of the Songs About Time project Read Full BioThere are two bands charting as The Rentals:

The 2009 EPs make up the musical end of the Songs About Time project, which also includes daily photos and weekly short films entitled Resilience (2011).
Band members on Return Of included Patrick Wilson (also of Weezer) on drums, Rod Cervera (guitar), Tom Grimley (moog), Petra Haden (violin, vocals), and Cherielynn Westrich (vocals, moog). Petra's triplet sister, Rachel Haden, appears as an additional vocalist. After Sharp left Weezer, Wilson's studio replacement on the drums was Kevin March and Mike Fletcher was the band's most frequent touring drummer. Maya Rudolph, of Saturday Night Live fame, also briefly toured with the band as a keyboardist. They are known for their quirky Moog-driven melodies. The single "Friends of P" off their first album was a modern rock radio hit, peaking at #7 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart and #92 on the Billboard Hot 100. After touring for Seven More Minutes the band disbanded.
Yet on October 24, 2005, the tenth anniversary of the band's formation, Matt Sharp announced he was bringing back The Rentals after a six year absence. The new lineup includes founding member Rachel Haden on bass/vocals, Sara Radle on vocals/multiple instruments, Ben Pringle (from Nerf Herder and now Yearbook Pictures) on synths/multiple instruments, Lauren Chipman on viola/synth/vocals, and Dan Joeright on drums. Sharp stated on his website that "there are no current plans" for ex-Rental Cherielynn Westrich "to be involved in the future of The Rentals."
Sharp states: The essential elements of The Rentals will be there. Our fascination with vintage synthesizers, violas, violins, female harmonies and all the rest will continue. But, I'm guessing, we'll most likely veer off the path that would lead us into the realm of becoming our own tribute band.
2.) A late '70s Boston area Punk band featuring Jeff Hudson, Jane Hudson, and Pseudo Carol. As a trio, they released the songs "Gertrude Stein", "Low Rent", "New York", "I Got A Crush On You" and "Elephants".
In 1980, Jeff & Jane joined The MANHATTAN PROJECT, followed by the Electro-Punk act simply known as Jeff & Jane Hudson in 1981.

I hated this album back in the day because it wasn't geek like the other Rentals. Now I'm 42 lol. This song is like whoah!

I feel this, (now 40) Bought this when it came out and I think my disapointment was greater hearing this record than the disapointment of hearing The Green Album. Return of the Rentals is a masterpiece, and this record never stood a chance.

...me encanta la colaboración del Damon Albarn...
Jonah Harper
I prefer the version they did with Asian Kung-Fu Generation

Rivers gave the sound to The Rentals, he taught Matt how to harmonize but I agree after Pinkerton Matt took that sound with him.
roy marius
tanner pape bullshit. Matt had his own thing... bass hooks and groves, syncopated counterpoint, etc. when matt left he took the bass hooks and feels. Weezer has been neutered of that entire dynamic since he left.

アジカンのカバー最高だった!

@kemandoran1 i'm not sure what your source for these facts are. A big reason Matt left Weezer was Rivers giving him, and the rest of the band, minimal artisitic input on Pinkerton. something to think about. i recommend reading "River's Edge" the Weezer biography. this song seems to take the sound of Oasis a little more
