The Raconteurs: Broken Boy Soldiers
How Jack lost his stripes and found a friend
What fool Jack White, man. Does he want any more, or do you think he’s good as he is? Supermodel wife, cute-as-a-button ex-wife (who he gets to see all the time), a baby on the way, more money than Saudi Arabia x God + The House Of Bush. And a simpering group of peers who clearly wish they had even the beginning of an idea how to carry off old-school kewl and bang-up-to-the-minute freshness...

The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers: Wikipedia Album Entry
Broken Boy Soldiers is the debut album of The Raconteurs, released on May 15, 2006 in the United Kingdom and May 16, 2006 in the United States. The album was generally favored among critics and spawned the hit single Steady As She Goes.
Critics were generally favorable towards Broken Boy Soldiers. Rolling Stone said of the album "Expectations were sky-high, but the Raconteurs exceed them all." People magazine gave the album three-and-a-half stars, making the album the Critic's Choice of the week; they commented "Broken Boy Soldiers incorporates just enough weirdness to show that he (White) hasn't completely changed his stripes." More conservatively, Billboard remarked "No one is breaking any ground here, and White fanatics looking for a new White Stripes record should temper their expectations. But as far as side projects go, this is as good as it gets."

The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Lyrics
The Raconteurs - Blue Veins Lyrics
When I was surrounded by the world
You were the only one who came
And you were the only one astounded, which kept me grounded
As the other girls thrashed my very name
The Raconteurs - Yellow Sun Lyrics
Yellow sun is shining in the afternoon
I'd really like to tell you, but I feel it's too soon
My actions are dictated by the phase of the moon
The phase of the moon
The Raconteurs - Store Bought Bones Lyrics
Down upon your hands and knees
Underneath the poplar trees
Digging through the sticks and stones
Looking for store bought bones
The Raconteurs - Level Lyrics
My baby's on the level
I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessin' all the time
The Raconteurs - Together Lyrics
You and me forever, we belong together
And we'll always endeavor, through out any type of weather
You want everything to be just like
The Raconteurs - Intimate Secretary Lyrics
I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle and he got shot
The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier Lyrics
I'm pulling my questions from my shelf
I'm asking forgiveness
I'm asking about it by myself
And I want you to know this
The Raconteurs - Hands Lyrics
Girl, you've got those hands that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
'Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best, it's no surprise
The Raconteurs - Steady, As She Goes Lyrics
Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town
Steady as she goes
The Raconteurs - Call It A Day Lyrics
Can we call it a day? Now would that be okay?
Can we just go our own separate ways?
'Cos I'm cold and I'm wet and I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze
