"There's an enclave of the punk world where the music still sounds like an austere distillation of America’s forlorn dream. It’s the sound of an old jukebox spinning a Ronettes 45 through a broken speaker, the kid in the garage figuring out the 1-4-5 progression on guitar, the thump of the kick drum banging in 4/4 time through a dilapidated PA. LA's SadGirl sound a lot those early American punks—the miscreants that preceded the nihilists. Their songs sound more rooted in the wake of Motor City soul and Pacific Northwest surf rock than in the formula laid out by The Ramones, but there is still something in their reverb-and-tremolo pop that feels like a reminder of America’s decay."
SadGirl is Misha (guitar + vocals), Dakota (bass) and David (drums).
Breakfast For 2
sadgirl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should have never said it was over
You're not my girl, but I don't mind
'Cause you're the girl I want to give all my time
I would lie for you
The day turns to night
And I still want you right here by my side
Oh, I would lie for you
Tear it all in two
So spend the night
I'll make things right
And share a breakfast for two
You're not my girl, but I don't mind
'Cause you're the girl I want to give all my time
Oh, I would lie for you
Tear it all in two
So spend the night
I'll make things right
And share a breakfast for two

on Teenage Tragedy
Me and my baby were two kind
Couldn't get her out of my mind
well I never wanted to leave her side
couldn't tell if she was alright
and then every morning
and every night
she hanged her head and cry
She's a Teenage Tragedy
theirs nothing I can do
shes a Teenage Tragedy
Theirs nothing I can do
My and my baby we started to fight
felt like I was losing my mind
I never wanted to leave that night
somehow I wouldn't survive
WOAHH
I'm A Teenage Tragedy
Theirs nothing I can do
wellI'm a Teenage Tragedy
theirs nothing I can do
WOAHH
We're a Teenage Tragedy
Theirs nothing I can do
We're a Teenage Tragedy
Theirs nothing I can do
We're A Teenage Tragedy
Theirs nothing I can doo...
