    Previously Unreleased Album. In the Fall of 1993, between contracts with Capitol and RCA, The Smithereens ventured into Crystal Sound Studios NYC to write and record a new album for their own label. The results of those one month marathon recording sessions is this album, unheard by the outside world until now, and appropriately titled “Lost Album”. The Smithereens’ take no prisoners sound, reflecting their Garden State roots, has resonated with fans worldwide over the course of 17 albums and 2500+ live shows. They've also inspired generations of musicians, including Kurt Cobain, who counted The Smithereens as a major influence. Founded in New Jersey in 1980, The Smithereens have been creating electrifying, original rock’n’roll for 41 years. Jim Babjak (guitar) Dennis Diken (drums) and Mike Mesaros (bass) grew up together in Carteret and lead singer, the late Pat DiNizio, hailed from Scotch Plains. The Smithereens’ fame escalated, they were in heavy rotation on MTV and appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien, and Saturday Night Live.

lyrics

Who are you to tell me that the truth is what you say
I cannot stop pretending that it hurts me every day
I know I'm not so perfect just like you in any way
So, put your fancy shoes on, turn around and walk away
You know,

I'm sexy, I don't look the way I feel
I'm angry, and there's a smile on my face
I'm lazy, when I know there's work to do
I'm lonely, and I know that you are too

Every time you're in the room you make me feel so small
Your hair is always in its place, it looks unusual
You never miss a chance to find a mirror on the wall
All you see is beautiful and think you know it all
Well,

I'm sexy, I don't look the way I feel
I'm angry, and there's a smile on my face
I'm lazy, when I know there's work to do
I'm lonely, and I know that you are too

Listen to me please and I will give you some advice
I'll say it very carefully, I won't repeat it twice
The way you treated me was mean and never justified
Someday you'll be old and then you'll have to pay the price
Because

I'm sexy, I don't look the way I feel
I'm angry, and there's a smile on my face
I'm lazy, when I know there's work to do
I'm lonely, and I know that you are too
