All i want 01:53
I was damaged by your love I was damaged by the drugs that were meant to make it easier with time It meant I couldn’t sleep at all, anxiety would crawl from the corners of my room with nowhere to hide To make you mine again that’s all I wanted I was damaged by your lies A bittersweet disguise, you just kept me hanging on until the end A fool before the fall, you took your curtain-call as the seeds blew all around all I could say (was) To make you mine again that’s all I want

You aint ever gonna find out If this is the one or where you belong Now that your time is running out Will you settle down or will you drown? She's older now but none the wiser I'll never know why Some girls are always with some boys while some boys & some girls have seen better days You aint ever gonna find out why they get along, still going strong It's gonna turn your mind inside out Who came along & fooled everyone? She's older now but none the wiser I'll never know why Some girls are always with some boys while some boys & some girls have seen better days There's no substitute for a shoulder to cry on There's no substitute for a song that you can rely on She's older now but none the wiser I'll never know why Some girls are always with some boys while some boys & some girls have seen better days

You build it up & watch me tear it down but my mind was spinning from the word rebound It was the first time that my head ruled my heart It was the first time where I wasn’t very smart It was the first chance for me to really turn the screw It was the only time that I didn't know what to do What a fool Is there any time left for us to talk it all through? cos there are so many things that I've got in common with you I should have ignored all the warning signs but still I tried to read between the lines It was the first time that my head ruled my heart It was the first time where I wasn’t very smart It was the first chance for me to really turn the screw It was the only time that I didn't know what to do What a fool Is there any time left for us to talk it all through? cos there are so many things that I've got in common with you It was the first time It was the first time It was the first chance It was the only time that I didn't know what to do What a fool Is there any time left for us to talk it all through? cos there are so many things that I've got in common with you

In her life 03:18
Meet me in the Park tonight, we'll find a place that's out of sight where we can see our future in the turn of a page Make believe that the world is a stage, we won't have to act our age A million ways to leave the rest behind A song for whom it may concern We're past the point of no return It feels better to forget, for you the better it gets Do you remember when you needed someone? It feels better when you love no one than if you love somebody who loves someone The dance is yours to learn again, it will never be the same as the night we walked through Soho in the rain Somehow I know it won't survive, memories in overdrive Maybe I will learn to understand A bitter pill, sweetness & light You took my hand but I squeezed too tight It feels better to forget, for you the better it gets Do you remember when you needed someone? It feels better when you love no one than if you love somebody who loves someone It feels better to forget, for you the better it gets Do you remember when you needed someone? It feels better when you love no one than if you love somebody who loves someone I know that you hold back from the things that you really wanna say to me

I was waiting all night again, the coffee count at ten & you think I understand why you're in such high demand as if it happened once or twice while you needed my advice Now if I sleep or fall apart is up to your ungrateful heart So don't tell me that you're doing alright don't tell me, don't be cruel don't tell me that it all worked out cos I promise that I wouldn't tell you I've been waiting here since nine, the coffee's turned to wine & the letters that I wrote, no reply stuck in my throat from the punch I'm seeing stars as I count the passing cars up from the gutter to the bar with new strings for my guitar So don't tell me that you're doing alright don't tell me, don't be cruel don't tell me that it all worked out cos I promise that I wouldn't tell you I've run out of words What's left to say? feel further apart, feel further away Got me feeling so down Got me feeling so feeling so down don't tell me that you're doing alright don't tell me, don't be cruel don't tell me that it all worked out cos I promise that I wouldn't tell you Don't tell me

Around & around & around we go oh-oh how I meant to tell you that the kiss I never took for granted is evidence that was planted in my heart Too late, it's in the past with everything I couldn't ask Your jacket like the one I wear, the glitter & shampoo in your hair but now it's just another regular summer without you Our love The song that I bestowed footsteps on Holloway Road hand in hand so tightly clenched, we ate ice-cream on the bench & we spoke about a yesteryear, when the magic happened here disappointment in your eyes when they wouldn't let us go inside & now it's just another regular summer without you We keep it locked behind the door, the key don't turn any more a broken bone that never heals this is how love really feels still, you smile & talk about your friends I caught the moment through a camera lens You pinned me like a butterfly, looked away & didn't say goodbye & now it's just another regular summer without you
7.
I crave your attention I'd only hurt myself for you I point in your direction but I never point at you Undertakers cannot wait, life is getting shorter Alligators lie in wait, just their eyes above the water I know I gotta, I gotta get it right If I wanna see, I wanna see her again tonight or I'll drink the pain away I crave your affection I'd only hurt myself for you I point in your direction but I never point at you Undertakers cannot wait, life is getting shorter Alligators lie in wait, just their eyes above the water I know I gotta, I gotta get it right If I wanna see, I wanna see her again tonight or I'll drink the pain away Undertakers cannot wait, life is getting shorter Alligators lie in wait, just their eyes above the water I know I gotta, I gotta get it right If I wanna see, I wanna see her again tonight or I'll drink the pain away or I'll drink the pain away

Only you can make a sad song better Only you will fall apart if you let her Only you can climb down off the shelf Only you can keep on kidding yourself that tonight you'll find love Only you know what to say in a letter Only you can make a change for the better Only you can see true love is blind Only you will wake up every time & tonight you'll find love Only you try in spite of the weather Only you can put this mess back together Only you will pull off meeting the one Only you can help to forget that she's gone & tonight you'll find love Only you can make a sad song better Only you will fall apart if you let her Only you can climb down off the shelf Only you will keep on killing yourself tonight you'll find love tonight you'll find?
9.
I could have been there when you cried but I didn't do the right thing at the time I let it slip away from the palm of my hands you're the only one who truly understands I missed One kiss can lead to another I could have take time to see that I'd found the one thing that I need I never tried to fake it like all the rest you shouldn't have to settle for second best Now this One kiss can lead to another I couldn't be there all the time now I carry around this guilt inside A complex world where I concede only money can give you everything you need I wish One kiss could lead to another

Lonely girl 02:36
I would be alright if I was there with you You would be alright if you were here with me You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more I would be alright if I was there with you You would be alright if you were here with me You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more If you let me I will tell you all the nice things in the world about you I will put you back together & help release all of the pressure You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more

I don't know where I'm gonna find it I keep knocking but I can't get through to you Whatever happened to achieving all the things that I set out to do? I need a double shot of you right now (just like Romeo knew, sit back I'll take a double shot of you. Grey skies once so blue, little girl I need a double shot of you) So many people try to fight it So many ways that they can lose control You're gonna miss me when I leave here Don't wanna talk about the damage it could do I need a double shot of you right now (just like Romeo knew, sit back I'll take a double shot of you. Grey skies once so blue, little girl I need a double shot of you) Say what you like about me I know that that's the difference between me & you Don't walk away if you don't mean it We still believe in the same point of view I need a double shot of you right now (just like Romeo knew, sit back I'll take a double shot of you. Grey skies once so blue, little girl I need a double shot of you)
12.
You came & you took me for a fool but I don't think that you meant to & so I will hold on to the dream You've screwed up my life it's hard to believe that I could ever have been so naive but I'll hold on to the dream that we shared Since you said goodbye these tears I'll have to hide until the day they dry You tell me I bruise too easily & then forget so conveniently all the promises that were made You tell me there's nothing else you can do that's just the way fate wanted us to take the promises that were made to the grave Since you said goodbye these tears I'll have to hide until the day they dry You came & you took me for a fool but I don't think that you meant to & so I will hold on, I will hold on Since you said goodbye these tears I'll have to hide until the day they dry Since you said goodbye these tears I'll have to hide until the day they dry In dreams I walk with you It's all that I can do Every night I dream of our reunion in the rain In dreams I walk with you It's all that I can do Every night I dream of our reunion in the rain

about

"If you're only going to make one album, it ought to be as good as Just Another Regular Summer! The Speedways was Matt Julian from The Breakdowns going for a classic power pop sound. Power pop was certainly a huge influence on The Breakdowns as well. But with The Speedways, Julian laid the glam and punk influences to the side and concentrated purely on the pop. On this album, he plays guitar, bass, and keyboards and performs all of the vocals. His old band mate Dec Burns is along for the ride on drums. Lyrically, this album is full of classic power pop themes like heartbreak, longing, and unrequited love. Basically Just Another Regular Summer is an album for power pop purists, and it's an exceptional one at that.

This album is a tip of the cap to the timeless sounds of '70s guitar pop, recalling everyone from 20/20 to Tom Petty to Elvis Costello to the Paul Collins Beat. With his songwriting honed in on tuneful melodies, hook-laden choruses, and poignant lyrics, Julian comes off like someone who was born to create this kind of music.

Just Another Regular Summer is everything you could want from a classic power pop album. Julian sure knows how to write a catchy tune, but at a deeper level he just "gets" what this type of music is all about. Almost all of us have known heartbreak, and almost all of us have continued to put ourselves in its line of fire. That's part of the human condition, and that's why love songs will never go out of style. I have to chuckle when people dismiss songs about human relationships as "lightweight". Come on, what could be less lightweight? There will always be great worth in music like this, and kudos to The Speedways for carrying it off so splendidly"
