Move On
The Rentals Lyrics
et's get up and leave this town
i just wanna go right now
once we get outta here
no one will notice that we disappeared
so whataya say we go right now
get away from everyone that hangs around
this seems so insincere
so why dont we just leave them here
and move on
move on
moooo oove on
we'll find some new place nice
some of the city or the countryside(countryside)
we'll make new friends in time
we'll pack up a say good bye
and move on
moooo oove on
move on
moooo oove on
move on
it's been six long years
six years of hanging about without a care
it dont matter where we go
anywhere is better i know
somewhere else
moooo oove on
move on
moooo oove on
move on
moooo oove on
move on
moooo hoove on
come on let's get away
so far away
come on let's run away, run away
run away today ah ah ah oh
moooo oove on
move on
moooo oove on
move on
moooo oove on
moooo hoove on
moooo hoove on
moooo hoove on

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.

One of my favorite albums. Played no stop through high school. damn I'm getting old.
Outsiders Edge
Same. I do feel really old though guys... Started dating a girl in her early 20s recently and realizing theres like a 13 year gap makes me feel so old. She doesn't know any of this kind of music.
Getting old is weird. I don't feel any different. I'm me, I feel like the same me that I did 15 years ago. There's no switch that just gets flipped one day for you, you know? But everyone else starts to perceive you as old.

@Cotton-headed Ninnymuggins i'm not getting older i'm leveling up ☝️
Cotton-headed Ninnymuggins
Nah bro. My name is Pryse. Everyone called me P. So naturally I had to buy this album. Also huge weezer fan. We're not getting old my man. We're getting good!
Outsiders Edge
This song has gotten me through some hard times. The relationship I was in when I got this record ended after six years which was an eerie coincidence considering the reference to six years in the lyrics. It's helped me since as well. Love this song. Thank you Matt.

I woulda never have given this a chance without my late nephew introducing me to this awesome album. It was and still is unlike anything else I had heard. Masterpeice.
lyricmoon
Sorry about your nephew. What’s cool is that by you sharing that, he kinda lives on because everytime I listen to this I will take a minute to think of him. What was his name? 🥰
purerider
this is the first CD I ever bought on an absolute whim...I've never had the same ignorant blissful joy from any other album...Thanks, Matt!
