## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

All caught up in a way, searching for some sturdy ground

Get a hold on the day, steady pace of in and out

**Pre-Chorus**

Fall back—let it happen, let it reach you

And when—when it comes you let it in

Fall back—let it happen, let it hit you

And if—you miss it all go get it back!

**Chorus**

And whether not you think it’s gonna last

When the noise dies down and you’re alone again

Day by day, you give and take

On and on until there’s something

On and on until there’s something

On and on until there’s something

**Verse 2**

In your youth, hesitate, obliterate a room for doubt

Time it moves at a rate, necessitates a here and now

**Pre-Chorus**

Fall back—let it happen, let it reach you

And when—when it comes you let it in

Fall back—let it happen, let it hit you

And if—you miss it all go get it back!

**Chorus**

And I know there are those nights you can not fake

When the dark’s so great you can’t turn it away

Day by day, you give and take

On and on until there’s something

On and on until there’s something

On and on until there’s something

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

You don't know what I want

You don't know anything

The doctors don't know anything

It's not right, not right

**Verse 2**

Scream out loud, kick the wall

Will you run when I call?

The doctors don't know anything

It's not right, not right

**Chorus**

Well, my belly sure does hurt me

But it's okay 'cause I feel damn alive

The contractions come and go like a birth

But if a baby's on the way, I'd be surprised

Be surprised

**Verse 3**

He looks like a junkie sometimes

But junkies have beautiful eyes

The doctors don't know anything

It's not right, not right

**Verse 4**

You're all tired of hearing me

Talk about sore tummy

The doctors don't know anything

It's not right, not right

**Chorus**

Well, my belly sure does hurt me

But it's okay 'cause I feel damn alive

The contractions come and go like a birth

But if a baby's on the way, I'd be surprised

Be surprised

Oh this Oregon girl, never carries an umbrella

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Up on dagger creek

Watching visions in the spring

Of this psychotronic view

Who are you, how about you?

Feeling that the wall's

A familiar shape to touch

I am seeking in the dark

Of my childhood home

**Pre-Chorus**

Oh you

I'll miss you more than more

**Chorus**

I'm lost without you

I'm a fraud without you

**Verse 2**

Calling out my name

At least I think that was my name

There's this feeling like a gun

At the back of my neck

This place used to be fun

Now it's just an empty fucking space in my heart

Now I'm just chasing all the sounds in my head

And the sounds in my head

**Bridge**

Is there a word for the moment

You notice all your pores

In my heart

It's been a while but I could try anyway

And if Mars One ever happens

I wonder what their accents will be like

10 years' time

2042

**Chorus**

I'm lost without you

I'm a fraud without you

**Outro**

And I lie and I lie and I lie all night

And I lie just to lie [?]

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Tell me do you like to give or receive

Or do you like it better on hands and knees

And can you hear them losing and win

From the schoolyards by our house with all the windows left open

**Pre-Chorus**

Try to not see your failures ascending

Waitressing is a temporary thing

**Chorus**

I wonder when the summer comes

And I still want to drive to your parent’s house

If you'll live somewhere else

If you'll live somewhere else

**Verse 2**

I can hear them losing and win

Hood tween girls outside our house

Ripping her hair out for entertainment

**Pre-Chorus**

Try to not see your failures ascending

You'll perfect the art of losing

**Chorus**

Oh what if when the summer it comes

And I still want to drive to your parent’s house

But you live somewhere else

You live somewhere else

**Bridge**

We're getting there

We're getting there

Home

Home

**Outro**

Eugene, housed the days of truancy

10,000 nervous breakdowns that drew me to the east

A home, a home I came running to the warehouse kids that feared a boomerang home

Staring out at the backyard, wire and leaves interlocking

Can we drink it from the bottle

Can we live out of suitcases

**Verse 1**

Can we lift our heads to morning bible

Sunshine through our windsheild, can we

Drive fast down the highway passing

Cities never heard of

Say when, say when

Say when, say!

I will be the navigator

With my feet up on the dashboard

You will be the driver, pushing pushing

Pushing us forward

**Verse 3**

We will have the small belongings

Guitars, the clothes on our backs

I will strum in on the side and you will

Sing for the guests

**Pre-Chorus**

I will if you will

Just say when

**Chorus**

Say when, say when

Say when, say when

Say when, say when

Say when, say!

Can we get out, can we get out

Can we

Can we get out, can we get out

Can we

**Verse 1**

Try not to get so righteous

About what's fair for everyone

Find what's left in you

Channel something good

**Chorus**

Try your best to slowly withdraw

From the darkest impulses of your heart

Try your best to feel and receive

Your body is a blade that cuts a path from day to day

**Verse 2**

Calling it off, our hoax of trying

What's this place if you're not here?

Emptied the house and staged it for buying

Wave goodbye to all your things

**Chorus**

Try your best to slowly withdraw

Try your best to slowly withdraw

Your body is a blade that moves while your brain is writhing

Knuckled under pain, you mourn, but your blood is flowing

}}
**Verse 1**

Try not to get so righteous

About what’s fair for everyone

**Verse 2**

Try not to think about my life without you

Try to channel every light in me to render this benign

Try not to think about my life without you

Try to channel every light in me to render this benign

## Lyrics

**Intro**

Who took the bomp?

**Verse 1**

Every day and night

Every day and night

I can see your disco, disco dick

Is sucking my heart out of my mind

I'm outta time, I'm outta fuckin' time

I'm a gasoline gut with a Vaseline mind, but

Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?

Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme

(One, two, three, four)

You got what you been asking for

You're so policy free and your fantasy wheels

And everything you think and everything you feel

Is alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

**Verse 2**

I take you home, now watch me get you hot

You're just a parrot when you're screaming and you're shouting

"More crackers, please! More crackers, please!"

You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees

Who does your, who does your hair?

**Chorus**

Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?

Who took the ram from the rama-lama-ding-dong?

Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?

Who took the ram from the rama-lama-ding-dong?

**Interlude**

"How are you?"

"Fine, thank you"

"How are you?"

"Fine, thank you"

**Verse 3**

You bought a new van the first year of your band

You're cool and I hardly wanna say "not"

Because I'm so bored

That I'd be entertained, even by a stupid floor

A linoleum floor, linoleum floor

Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor

I'll walk on it, I'll walk all over you

Walk on it, walk on it, walkin', one, two

**Chorus**

(Who? Who? Who? Who?)

Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?

Who took the ram from the rama-lama-ding-dong?

Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?

Who took the ram from the rama-lama-ding-dong?

**Outro**

"See you later"

"See you later"

"See you later"

"See you later"

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Have you ever even loved?

Could you look a fascist in the eye

And jerk him off in plain sight?

So swollen and enthused

And get pissy about your views

Until you’re cokehead-loquacious

And dizzily confused; you’ve got a

Chip up your ass and upon your shoulder too

Would you spit in Little Lucy’s face

Because she watches the movie Frozen

And she wants to be a princess

Even though Disney employs

Nearly genocidal business practices?

If the answer is yes

If your answer is yes

If your answer is yes, I tell you

**Chorus**

You’re dead to me

You’re dead to me

You’re dead to me

You’re dead to me

Pop a squat over John Lennon’s grave

Vilified misogynist Guantanamo Bay

Have you ever parsed the meaning of “a wage slave”?

Declaring war on ideas while they chip away at twenty-hour workday Frito-Lay daze

Never tasting the luxury of light rays

I want the government dead as much as the next poet

Is the skin-on-skin too much?

Have you loved?

Have you ever even loved?

Have you ever even loved?

Have you ever even loved?

**Outro**

Restless union caught between

Two nymphs inside a second dream

Jungian referenced therapy

Baptized by a Big Gulp

Sweat away our clothes hatching

Jane Cum swallow

**Verse 3**

Soulless animal keep feeding on my meat

All my tiny bones between your teeth

**Chorus**

Jane Cum you swallow me whole

Jane Cum swallow

For my lover has left, oh

For my lover has left, oh

For my lover has left, oh

Won't you tickle, scratch and kiss my back

Before he left

Before I had to pretend, oh

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Got lost on the way

Took a route I didn’t mean to follow down

And I was tempted, sure, but I have come home now

**Pre-Chorus**

Remember the day

You picked me up, you had me screaming, showing off

With all those lighter tricks I once was so fond of

**Chorus**

And who am I to leave behind

We built this

And even when it falls apart it’s ours

But who could say that I’m to blame

For wandering

I never knew I’d find my way into the arms

Of men at bars

**Verse 2**

Got back in the ring

I took a spill, I spent a while just tumbling down

I found my head again and took to a new town

**Pre-Chorus**

I picked you up, flicked on my torch and you hid it well

The humiliation tactics you’d become known for

**Chorus**

Said who am I to leave behind

We built this

And even when it breaks apart it’s ours

But who could say that I’m to blame

For wondering

I never knew I’d wind up here, to take up arms

At men at bars

## Lyrics

**Intro**

Oh, yeah

Alright

**Verse 1**

Somebody's Heine

Is crowding my icebox

Somebody's cold one

Is giving me chills

Guess I'll just close my eyes

**Pre-Chorus**

Oh, yeah

Alright

Feels good

Inside

**Verse 2**

Flip on the telly

Wrestle with Jimmy

Somethin' is bubblin'

Behind my back

The bottle is ready to blow

**Chorus**

Say it ain't so

Your drug is a heartbreaker

Say it ain't so

My love is a life taker

**Verse 3**

I can't confront you

I never could do

That which might hurt you

So try and be cool

When I say

"This way

Is a water slide away from me that takes you further every day"

So be cool

**Chorus**

Say it ain't so

Your drug is a heartbreaker

Say it ain't so

My love is a life taker

**Bridge**

Dear daddy, I write you

In spite of years of silence

You've cleaned up, found Jesus

Things are good, or so I hear

This bottle of Stephen's

Awakens ancient feelin's

Like father, stepfather

The son is drowning in the flood

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

**Chorus**

Say it ain't so

Your drug is a heartbreaker

Say it ain't so

My love is a life taker

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

For the love of God, someone get this girl to shut up

Or else I’m leaving, I swear I’m leaving

Oh don’t you want me to stay

Like a summer dress on a wire hanger

**Verse 2**

I can not get off when you're always trying to talk

I lose the feeling, I'm lost

Oh, I know you’ll beg me to change

Like a storm curls across the bay

**Outro**

Eat the kids in love (I know you're tired, but I think we need to figure this out)

Eat the kids in love (I know you're tired, but I think we need to figure this out)

Eat the kids in love (I know you're tired, but I think we need to figure this out)

Eat the kids in love (I know you're tired, but I think we need to figure this out)

Feels like it is moving

In time

**Verse 3**

Glider caught the breeze

Feels like flying

Every particle in sync

Come on and guide me

Glider

**Verse 1**

To all deflowered women and men

I see your ceremony coming

In bloom

**Verse 2**

You're looking weary and used

And when I see you I light up like a grocery aisle

Stop saving face when I'm like whatever comes out, comes out

This boat is filling up with water

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Can you tell I've been posing

This way alone for hours?

Waiting for your affection

Waiting for you

Done up and drunk

Done up and fixed on

All of the nights you turned away my touch

**Chorus**

Closeness

Proximity

I needed

Bondage

Closeness

Proximity

I needed

Bondage

**Verse 2**

When the world divides into two people

Those who have felt pain

And those who have yet to

And I can't unsee it

Although I would like to

Posing in bondage

I hope you come home soon

**Chorus**

Closeness

Proximity

I needed

Bondage

Closeness

Proximity

I need it

Bondage

## Lyrics

* Tropical Jinx Version
* June "Day 10" Version

**Verse 1**

Dad brought the rock down on its head, down on its head

Deer head

Splitting its skull deer skull open in half

Open

**Chorus**

And the blood shone like VHS tape out of its brain and severed leg

It was the right thing to do

**Verse 2**

Brought down that rock just like my daddy showed me

Said now there's a quiet in you

Came with the harmers, a weird sad place

Where now I find a quiet in me too

**Chorus**

Oh lay me down on my childhood bed, thoroughly wild and without regret

Understood pain was just a thing our daddies knew

**Outro**

And if purity were quantified divide it in half each year you're alive

And I was happier before

Happier before

Happier, happier

**Verse 1**

Dad brought the rock down on its head

Deer head

Splitting its skull open in half

Open

**Chorus**

And the blood shone like VHS tape out of its skull and its severed leg

It was the right thing to do

And if purity was quantified, divide it in half each year you're alive

I was happier before

Not quite sure why it was right

This House

"**This House**" is a song by the band Japanese Breakfast from the album *Soft Sounds From Another Planet*. It was released alongside the album on July 14th 2017.

## Background

In an interview with NPR, Michelle Zauner said about the song:

> *"This was the last song I wrote for the album. A ballad about returning home after a long tour, waiting for your someone to come home. It’s also about the confused desires you feel for someone you once loved, and coming to the realization that it’s not actually the person you miss, but who you were before. A time when you were younger and felt more and didn’t think so much about death all the time."*
>
>

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

This house is full of women

Playing guitar, cooking breakfast

Sharing trauma, doing dishes

And where are you?

What if one day I don't know you?

What if one day you leave?

And all confused desire and time zone changes

Change what's left of you and me?

**Verse 2**

Maybe it's all the drinks you're buying

I was feeling like a kid

Spying on the hidden porn store cameras

Waiting on your graveyard shift

And now you're out in California

Just like you always said you'd be

And did you ever even love her?

Or was it rooted in companionship and timing?

Well, I'm not the one I was then

My life was folded up in half

I guess I owe it to the timing of companions

I survived the year at all, at all, at all

"**12 Steps**" is a song by the band Japanese Breakfast from the album *Soft Sounds From Another Planet*. It was released alongside the album on July 14th 2017.

## Background

In an interview with NPR, Michelle Zauner said about the song:

> *"There is a bar in South Philly, called 12 Steps Down, where I met my husband. I was seeing someone else at the time, but I just knew I needed to be with this person. So it’s sort of an apology song to them. It’s nothing personal, I just found the love of my life and I’ve gotta go now."*
>
>

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

I said something cruel, I can't say I quite regret it

Twelve steps into the smoking bar, I found you

Clothes engulfed in a bonfire, I begged you to my room

Begging still, all these years

**Pre-Chorus**

Oh, looking back

How did I keep moving?

Didn't know that half of me was missing

It's easy to leave, easy to leave

**Chorus**

So tell me, "I can't blame you, we let love run its course

And it's a little bit lonelier

I don't blame you, it's just our love ran its course

And that's a little bit hard"

**Pre-Chorus**

Oh, looking back

Wasn't a thing to keep me

From running around in the wreckage that burned all season

It was easy to leave when you'd finally seen me

**Chorus**

Now tell me, "I can't blame you, it's just that love ran its course

And it's a little bit lonelier

I don't blame you, we let love run its course

And it's a little bit hard

I can't blame you, he's the one that you wanted

Singing scenes from a restaurant

I can't blame you, it's just our love ran its course

And it's a love that's long gone"

Tsuguko Sasaki

## Seiyū

**Tsuguko Sasaki** (佐々(ささ)木(き) 次(つぐ)子(こ), *Sasaki Tsuguko*) is a character from *Bocchi the Rock!* manga series. She is a long friend of Ikuyo Kita and also a classmate of her and Hitori Gotoh during their second year in Shuka High School. Despite having different preferences of music, she is always supportive of Kita and Bocchi's activities in Kessoku Band. In Chapter 44, it is revealed that she is the representative for the "Kessoku Band Cheerleading Committee".

## Personality

During her introduction, she is portrayed as an honest character. She does not hesitate to admit she is into hip-hop to the point where she even mentions it in her introduction in school. She's also admitted she is not interested with rock bands in front of Bocchi, but admits that Bocchi was cool during the performance in the school festival.

## Relationship

### Ikuyo Kita

She has known Kita since middle school, and also has been her classmate since their first year of middle school.

### Hitori Gotoh

While she only happens to meet Bocchi in their second year, she knew of her since the school festival performance, calling her act as "cool". Despite her admitting that she's into hip-hop rather than rock (which frustrates Bocchi at first), she does not have any ill will to her. Later on she befriended Bocchi as a classmate and supported her band in Mikakunin Riot.
