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

One got stuck in the middle
Another one leading the pack
One guy thinks you’re a riddle
Another with a knife in his back
You say I never understand the new things you found
You’re a complicated kind of a girl
You say the pain of living’s really getting you down
But, I can’t feel sorry for a girl who is out of this world
Let’s get out of this world, Let’s get out of this world
It seems there’s always someone waiting there for you
You think you’re moving but, you’re stuck in reverse
You know that no one’s ever gonna ignore you
You keep saying things just couldn’t get worse
She’s got two chips there on her shoulder
She’s never happy until she’s in a fight
Last time I was with her, I told her
I just wanna get loaded tonight
You say I never understand the new things you found
You’re a complicated kind of a girl
You say the pain of living’s really getting you down
But, I can’t feel sorry for a girl who is out of this world
Let’s get out of this world, Let’s get out of this world
