Say Goodbye Forever
The Rentals Lyrics
Come here and pick me up
(I'll take you out)
Let's go to dinner
(We could do whatever)
I know you don't know me at all, and
(I don't know you, and)
You don't do things like this ever
It's so nice (It's so nice) in your car
(And in my car)
The music sings sweetly
Walk across the bridge to the beach
(Santa Monica)
Yeah, kiss you while it's raining (Yeah, kiss you while it's raining)
(And it's raining)
Say goodbye (So say goodbye)
Say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever)
I'm in such a lonely place (It's a lonely place)
And I could be forever (Goodbye)
Your place is so much different than mine (But it's so normal)
It's so calm and peaceful (It's so calm and peaceful)
(So quiet and empty)
I could lay in your living room (Room)
(You could stay in my room)
As long as possible
In the back of the taxi I feel
(I watched you get in the taxi)
Loss of home and country
(You still don't know me)
Back down to the storage space, yeah
(As you go down)
L.A. can be so lonely
Say goodbye (So say goodbye)
Say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever)
I'm in such a lonely place (It's a lonely place)
And I could be forever (Goodbye)
I know this is the only day we'll spend together
(Strange days, strange nights, short time, strange life)
And I know, I know, I know after this it's over forever
(Strange days, strange nights, a strange place in a strange life)
Oh
Say goodbye (So say goodbye)
So say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever)
You've put me in a lonely place (In a lonely place)
Where I could be forever (I could be forever)
So say goodbye (So say goodbye)
Say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever)
You put me in a lonely place (In a lonely place)
Where I could be forever
Oh

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.
