I remember the man who said to me Some people would give anything to have the complaints we have That is why I feel that I must do Everything that I am able to The best I can If you think the sun shines brighter over there You don't know what we can do But we don't care 'Cause you'll see us shine tonight The card says to live my dreams I don't know yet for me what that means But I'll do it somehow Maybe it starts with the belief That I am the best that I can be In the here and now

Your band sounds pretty good But why try to control What everyone else does? Playing only what you have been told to Must make it a procession Stifled creativity doesn't sound to me like fun I nearly found myself Coming out to play with you Until I found out you wouldn't let me Play any lead guitar Setting these things in stone when There is no need Would kill all the joy in it Before it even starts
5.
People say the future's getting better But it might want to start picking up some speed 'Cause I never wanted to leave this town; This life behind as much as I do now There's no recourse to the cool kids socially I'm supposed to just forget what you did to me It's hard to cut somebody slack when they're standing Behind you with a knife held to your back

about

This is the lowly anticipated second album from Dumb & Drummer. As with the first album, there are some tracks that feature vocals, but we have mainly stuck with the trusted formula of instrumental guitar/drums/bass/violin rock that has previously proved so popular with so few people. It's also LOUDER! If you enjoy the music, please indicate that you do by using the only legitimate means of expressing emotion in the modern world, the facebook like:

Here are some reviews by people asked to give their opinions of the album:
"I have a train to catch"
"What's that noise?"
"Don't give up the day job"
"That's 35 minutes of my life I'll never get back"

about

Dumb & Drummer Ireland

Too shy to play gigs, appear in public or sing (read: unable to sing), and lacking the ability to write lyrics or music or even play any instruments (on an aside - despite these things, we were forcibly ejected from an early incarnation of One Direction), we proudly present the best set of tunes ever produced by 2.5 howler monkeys and their loyal canine. ... more
