about

The debut solo full length by the musical genius Joey Cape (Lagwagon/Bad Astronaut/Me First & The Gimme Gimmes/The Playing Favorites/Afterburner).

A co-release with Stray Cat & Cholocate Shake Records from Singapore.

150 pressed on tape (and no longer available. sorry!)

Review:
“For many, Joey Cape is most well-known for his work with Lagwagon, longtime fixtures of the California skate punk scene, and Bad Astronaut, a more indie-based side project that released three full-lengths. What some of you might be surprised to know is that Cape is a bonafied icon who writes some of the best songs you’ll ever hear — whether it’s simply by pop standards or just on a purely, gut-wrenching emotional peak. His long-in-the-works solo debut, Bridge, is stripped-down but also lush in instrumentation on many tracks, several of which are reworked versions of older Cape tunes (five of which are from Lagwagon’s most-recent EP, I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon).” – review by Absolute Punk

Track Name: Errands
Maybe we'll move to New York City
And then we'll celebrate "good bye"
We'll find a place that we can start a fight
And feel good to be alive

And so we'll drive across the country
On this endless holiday
You'll take the shortcut as I watch life pass
I can't remember who drove last

Errands, errands
Why don't you think they'd understand?
Errands, errands
Why don't you think before that next drink?
It's gonna be your last mistake, oh yeah...
And it's going to devastate all them

We're on our way to run more errands
Travelers without a plan
And I've been awake for way too long
I can't remember who I am

Errands, errands
Why don't you think they'd understand?
Errands, errands
Why don't you think before that next tweak?
It's gonna be your last mistake, oh yeah...
And you know it will devastate all them
Track Name: Who We've Become
I don't like watching train wrecks, entranced by falling stars
They are only needed when they fall apart
Our life without scandal, nearly all routine
The one thing I can count on is waiting at home for me
And I can see we are not young
But I like who we've become
I don't like feeling frail when I first wake up
I don't like feeling aches and pain whenever I'm not drunk
I guess I'll never really quit smoking cigarettes
I guess I rarely sleep enough or exercise to stay fit
And I don't know how long we'll live
But I'll enjoy every minute with you
Cause I just like who you've become
Everyone finds someone
Maybe I found you
Everyone finds someone
Baby I found two
I don't like it when it's overcast
I don't like it rains
I don't like it when I miss you like the light on gloomy days
I don't like to get angry and drive old friends away
I wish she could forgive me for saying what I said
At least I know we still share a bed
and I know where I'll rest my head tonight
It's just a fight and then it's done
I still love who we've become
