about

So I been playing Stumbleine at my live shows ever since I fronted my own band. I played it at a couple of solo shows and I played it at a couple of open mic nights. Jonathan Savino, is super talented and told me he would submit a cover, but I didn't wanna hound him for his version because one of my best friends (and former bandmate in A Black Tie Affair) Shey Weaver, had recently moved to Japan and he called dibs on Stumbleine. However, as plans are want to do- things changed.

I saw Michael Matteo posting some soundcloud links to his original tunes on a Smashing Pumpkins page (Pumpkinland?)
There was this demo called Starlight that I clicked on, mainly because I was hoping it would be a MUSE cover and I was blown away by this 1990s, UK dance vibe. It reminded me of New Order and the Happy Mondays and Depeche Mode and I just fell in love.

One night while having an allergy attack I stole the song and took too much benadryl. When I woke up in the morning I found this track.
Everyone says it shouldn't work, nor do they understand how it does.
The vocoder call and response "jukebox fuckup" verse is my favorite part.

I hope you enjoy it - Jay Sharp

lyrics

boredom's in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny
and nobody nowhere understands anything
about me and all my dreams
lost at sea
jack it up judy set your heart alight
mayfair mistress of the satellites
misspent youth- faking up a rampage
to hold off the real slaves
paid off and staid
and what you never knew
can never get to you
so fake it
i'll be your stumbleine
i'll be your super queen
and make you
jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore
no matter what you say he'll be back for more
mommy's in the manger with the little kids
she's got her reasons, got my forgets
of tears and idle threats
misplaced
and no matter what they do
they can't get to you
so fake it
i'll be your stumbleine
i'll be your super queen
and make you me
and make you me
gonna make you me
mah mah mah me
come around ruby i could never sleep alone
she's on her cellular down at the shopping mall
