Twang in a manner more reminiscent of The Shadows than Morricone...

All The Pain Money Can Buy

You can't choose where you come from. Fastball are from Austin, Texas, home of such mythical rock nutters as 13th Floor Elevators' Roky Erickson and Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers....

Fastball Lyrics

Fastball - The Way Lyrics

We made up their minds and they started packing
We left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

More Fastball - The Way Lyrics

Fastball - Out Of My Head Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of possibility, however it may roll
Give it a spin, see if you can somehow factor in
You know there's always more than one way

More Fastball - Out Of My Head Lyrics

Fastball - Fire Escape Lyrics

Well I don't wanna be President
Superman or Clark Kent
I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes

More Fastball - Fire Escape Lyrics

Fastball - You're An Ocean Lyrics

Can you make it easier for me to understand
How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands
Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars
You may be from Venus, but I'm definitely not from Mars

More Fastball - You're An Ocean Lyrics

Fastball - All I Was Looking For Was You Lyrics

When I was a boy
I could not stand the silence
I needed the noise
I was underage and overjoyed

More Fastball - All I Was Looking For Was You Lyrics

Fastball - The Malcontent (The Modern World) Lyrics

I hear the ringing of the telephone
No one's home and none of you can reach me
I'm alone and I feel fine

More Fastball - The Malcontent (The Modern World) Lyrics

Fastball - Damaged Goods Lyrics

Try to stop the world spinning 'round
My phone bill will tell you she lives out of town
It's been a long, long time but still I dream
Of warm sunny days on 12th and Lorraine

More Fastball - Damaged Goods Lyrics

Fastball - Seattle Lyrics

Ridin' round and round in my car
I can't afford to go very far
It needs a new transmission and new brakes

More Fastball - Seattle Lyrics

Fastball - Love is Expensive & Free Lyrics

You can talk to me about powder kegs
How I'm sitting on one right now
You can warn me about candles
And whole things burning from the outside in
