lyrics

Recently I have been
Pleasantly surprised
By our salutations, yes the way we say goodbye
I’ve been holding up quite fine

Previously I had seen,
In you, patient intimacy
But then we changed our plans
We just went our different ways
Went like the other stories babe
Went like the other stories babe

Oh I, think everything you do is great

But you don’t hear your music play
You play it in your ways
But you don’t hear a thing

Oh I, just thought that you could listen babe
Maybe the world is on your side, maybe you don’t have to hide
Oh no

Stupidily it might seem
But lately I try to be
The man you’ve always wanted but who I turned down everyday
What if now he’s here to stay?

Naturally there have been,
with strict confidentiality
Thoughts about you, things I bought you, but my brain must not know
Or he’ll send those thoughts back home
Or he’ll send those thoughts back home

Oh I, think everything you do is great
But you don’t hear your music play
You play it in your ways
But you don’t hear a thing

Oh I, just thought that you could listen babe
Maybe the world is on your side, maybe you don’t have to hide
Oh no

And you could hear your music play
and hear it everyday
cause everything you do is great
But you don’t hear a thing

And it goes like this

Woop woop ah…

Jack Martini Boston, Massachusetts

Fresh off of his performance at Governors Ball, frontman and songwriter, Jack Martini cooks up his pop songs with hints of hip-hop, humour and 60’s rock.

At the age of thirteen, Martini began writing comical lyrics with his father. It is no longer a joke, but the satiric aura still remains in the spirit of JM.

With features on Boston Globe and PopCrush, he continues to build his following. ... more
