Long Ryders - Native Sons (1984).

Brilliant, punky update on the folk, jangle & country rock of The Byrds. I Had A Dream is a total banger & Ivory Tower features a real life Byrd in Gene Clark.

8. John Riley

"He picked her up all in his arms
And kisses gave her one, two, and three
Saying, "Weep no more, my own true love
I am your long-lost John Riley"

Day 9. Dinosaur Jr - Tarpit (1987).

"Thought I knew you, stuck out my hand.
You bit, wish I could understand.
It's a twisted feeling, staring bored.
Now it's time to burn the hope I stored"

To learn to kill and take the will

Day 8. Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia (1980).

"You're a star-belly sneetch, you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch, so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you"
