lyrics

Left-sided Sal he was a hell of a guy
Pick-pocket your wallet in the blink of an eye
He’ll steal all your cash soon as you turn your back
You won’t feel it
He never had nothing since he was just a kid
Never had a bike or pot to piss in
So he started to steal to have something that’s real
You can’t blame him

He bottles it up yeah – he holds it all in
You got let that ego drop

I said whoa-oh let your feelings show
You got the answer in the palm of your hand
You can’t understand you can’t see it!

Wall-eyed sally was a heck of gal
She’s lookin’ at you but you never could tell
Soon as you turn you back
She’ll chat up your man you won’t see it
Her mom worked the streets since she was just a kid
She’s never known love unless some cash came with it
So numb she can’t feel just wants something that’s real
You can’t blame her

She bottles it up yeah – She holds it all in
You got let that ego drop

So just say what’s on your mind
It doesn’t matter if the words don’t come out right
When your back’s against the wall you don’t know where to begin
Just let it all out yeah stop holding it in
Don’t let life pass you by before you realize
You won’t see it

Ten Stories High
by The Bouncing Souls

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Palm of Your Hand”

That album felt like coming home after a long time away but still being proud of everything I'd seen while I was gone. One minute and twenty seven seconds into "Kenver" feels like the culmination of everything I've loved about this band since I was a kid. It feels like the best parts of freedom I've felt on the best nights of my life. Scott

9th & Walnut
by Descendents

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Palm of Your Hand”

Buy this if you like the 80's melodic hardcore sound of the Descendents. Every song is good and short in true 80's hardcore form, the way it's supposed to be. This is the next best album in my opinion after Milo Goes To College. The original lineup are the ones who wrote and perform the songs on this album! It even sounds like they used the same exact instruments, just with higher recording quality. You NEED this if you're a huge Descendents fan! Brett
