It´s been real. It´s been fun.
A farmer´s work is never done.
Makin´ hay while their´s still sun.
Church bells ring, kingdom comes.
But as the wise doctor once said...
As the wise doctor once said...
Don´t cry because it´s over
Smile because it happened. x 2
Don´t cry, don´t go feelin´ sad
Smile at all the fun you had.
No fear, put your faith in love
Inner force or god above.
Goodbye´s always such sweet sorrow
Here today and gone tomorrow.
No more time to beg or borrow.
You´re leaving soon and you´ll go far away...
Wish you could stay.
But as the wise doctor would say...
Don´t cry because it´s over
Smile because it happened. x 2
Don´t cry when the story´s done.
Smile and start another one.
No fear, good times come and gone.
Always darkest before the dawn.
Don´t cry...
Smile...
Don´t cry. Smile.
Smile. Don´t cry.
Smile.

Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his father or his mother.
Don´t know what he´s got until it´s gone.
Don´t know things are going all right till they´ve gone all wrong.
Can´t understand the blues floating in space
Til the cliché becomes touché and slaps his face.
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his sister or his brother.
Oldest story in the book.
Sad but true. That there´s the hook.
Tell the kids: "love yourself, be yourself, follow your bliss."
Gotta earn a million dollars to learn
That money can´t buy happiness.
They say it can´t buy happiness.
Gotta take their word for it on this.
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his father or his mother,
His sister or his brother,
His best friend or his lover.
A fool, a fool.
I was a fool.
A fool, a fool.
I am a fool.
Experience is the hardest teacher
Experience is the hardest teacher
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Oh no a fool will learn from no other.

Great Expectations

It all started a long time ago
I was just a little kid
Always tried to get my way
Seems I never did
Now I´m sitting stinking thinking
Wee hours of the night
Born alone, die alone
Stumble towards the light
Searchin´ all night for a love not a fight
Hungry for inspiration
Lyin´ in bed, crazy thoughts in my head
Tryin´self medication
Fill the hole inside my soul
With great expectations
Great expectations.
It´s a trick that makes me tick
A fickly little trap
A bouncin´ baby boy is born
Welcomed with a slap.
People say, "Seize the day."
Kinda like graspin´ for air
Gaspin´ for air, a wing and a prayer
My god is everywhere.
Searchin´ all night for a love not a fight
Hungry for inspiration
Playin´ in bed, hazy thoughts in my head
Tryin´self medication
Fill the hole inside my soul
With great expectations
Great expectations.

Don´t Wanna Care

I used to think my shit don´t stink
And people are stupid but good.
But now I know that just aint so.
I´m tired. I´d sleep if I could.
Just drift away.
Dream crime don´t pay.
Ignore all this global bullshit.
Buy some luxury
Like a big-ass screen TV.
Hopefully help me forget.
Don´t wanna care anymore.
Have your fuckin´war.
Blow ´em all to hell.
Poison every well.
Just don´t ask me if I care.
Life´s a bitch and life aint fair.
Even so there comes a time
When it´s so unfair it´s a crime.
My friends are sick of talk of politics.
I don´t blame them one goddamn bit.
Corruption´s nothin´ new.
What is there to do?
One voice, on vote don´t mean shit.
Daddy used to say,
"They´re all crooks anyway."
I must admit he had a point.
System of the strong
Gotta play along
Or drop out and smoke another joint.
Don´t wanna care anymore.
Have your fuckin´war.
Blow ´em all to hell.
Poison every well.
Just don´t ask me if I care.
Don´t ask me if I care.
I used to think my shit don´t stink
And people are stupid but good.

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain
Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple
home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.

This is one of my favorite albums when it comes to cute, catchy little songs that I just never seem to get sick of. I recommend the song "The Symmetry".

Unicorns Get More Bacon
by Marc With a C
The title track, Unicorns Get More Bacon, is hilarious. If you are a performing musician I think you can really relate to this song.

new alhambra
by elvis depressedly
I love all of the Elvis Depressedly albums. The main member of this group, Mathew Lee Cothran, is also the frontman for Coma Cinema which is worth checking out if you like Elvis Depressedly.

Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp).

Polished dancepop from Honeymoan with sky-high vocal melodies surrounded by sparkling guitars.

Giddy and ramshackle bedroom indie pop bursting with buoyant guitars and summery vocal hooks.
