I was running Mary.
And the days were growing long.
And I was minding mine,
I was doing nothing wrong.

And the news you sent me.
and the bar's upon the door.
And this one caught me blind--
Couldn't stop me anymore.

Tell me how much do I forgive
'Cause you laid one in on me, but I'm all right.
Tell me how much--this goes on and on.

I was running barely
And it's hard to face me more.
And I was minding mine,
And doing nothing more.

No... it's: "How much do I forgive..." Ring was/is a great album- I loved the Connells.... New Boy is anther great song- but Slackjawed is a winner.... This whole album is great.... and my college days were '74-78 (so the song '74-75 is extremely poignant for me!)

The Connells have great melodies, but they somehow make them blander than they should be.

Good song, but there are better Connells tunes. Definitely a college flashback.

somewhat bland, but pleasant nonetheless

Had to look up the lyrics, cause I thought he was singing 'tell me, how much did I fuck you?'. It didn't seem to be the sort of song for such a line, though you never know.

A really good band that never really got their due.

Wow, I never thought I'd here these guys outside of live shows and my own collection. I'll be seeing them this Sat (9/18/04) at the Visualite in Charlotte, NC. Might I suggest playing some songs from Boylan Heights, Fun & Games, and One Simple Word. Their site: (click here)

i uploaded a bunch of their stuff off all their albums (i did, ncmtnbiker and darlington)... so far only three made it to the main playlist. :verymad: at least some made it.

God this is annoying.

I was listening to an old compilation tape I made back in the day last week and thought to myself that I wished I had a CD version of "Fun and Games" in order to upload the title track. Nice hearing them on RP. Great overlooked and (mostly forgotten) band.
