Blue Merle is Back Again

A friend let me borrow "Burning in the Sun" a while back and after listening to the CD for the second time, I realized how amazing Blue Merle really was. I became a huge fan and they are, quite possibly, my favorite band, surpassing even the beloved Coldplay. But despite their phenomenal lyrics and awesome sound, the members of the band have decided to move on to solo projects. It saddens me that such musically talented people will not be producing any new albums together, but atleast they left us with a second taste of their greatness. You can dowload some live music off their website for free. Check them out at www.bluemerle.com. In the meantime, enjoy the band that was Blue Merle.

Boxcar Racer

I'm walking the streets
With my hands in my shoes
I'm out on a date with a picture of you
I got a boxcar racer
It's faster than the speed of sound
It takes me away from here

She's walking the streets
With her hands in her shoes
And she's in love with a boy
Who only gives her the blues
She loves the boxcar racer because
He's faster than the speed of sound
He takes her away from here

And if you look oh if you look
You'll find nothing at all
You'll find nothing at all
But if it's good oh if it's good
You'll find a love a great lover
If you let it go

So now I'm walking the streets
All alone in the night
I take alook at myself
And I kiss you goodbye but why?
I was a boxcar racer who was driving so
Fast that I couldn't slow down
I was running away from here
I was a boxcar racer who was driving so
Fast that I couldn't slow down
I was running away from here
