so dumb, i can't keep my mouth shut and i don't feel fine but i can never go back 'cause everything that i've said was a lie but i've been always this way yeah, i get uptight i get carried away and then it feels like i'm dead for some time and i don't feel like going out so dumb, i can't keep my mouth shut and i don't feel fine yeah, i don't even doubt the fact that i've lost my sleep for some time and like always, you'll say that i don't look fine but i can never look well i just keep losing my head all the time

operator got away, headed for a rainy day operator lost his smile, he's been worried all the time when you're young and all alone, got no friends, got no home when you're bored, forget it all and sing along the same old song molly's been laid off at work and her landlord changed her locks she's been drunk and trashed her car got few bruises and few scars but before she hit the wall accelerator to the floor she turned on the radio and sang along the same old song where the rhythm is rocking all the words mean nothing where the bridge is damaged but does it really matters some say life is craziest thing and i know just what they mean when you're in for something big you will fall with burned down wings you will lie and you will cry you will beg, and then you'll die but before you'll see the lord you will hear the same old song

we ain't got much time even a drop of the time we ain't got much time even a drop of the time i wanna never to see you and i have wanted to like you but i can't

Enamoured 01:53
walking by the side of the road where you dumped me and i can't forget how we used to dream i can't forget how we used to scheme i can't forget things were better they seemed so alright, enamoured talking to a friend on the street, hopeless and beat and i can't forget how we used to dream i can't forget how we used to scream i can't forget things looked better they seemed so alright, enamoured i look back and i see nothing i look down and i see flowers i look back and i see nothing i look down and i see flowers, turning, blowing you away

we say we'll always stay the same but it ain't no road to fame that's why we never talk too loud we've seen all the interstates been into some fifty states does it seem to make you proud but if you want i'll say it loud: that's what i've always dreamed about looking through a dirty pane sky seems ready for the rain van's broke down, we need to stop looks like a stupid travel show, never know, which way we go but we're never going up but when you, when you come over will you still miss me the way i miss you? when you, when you come over will you still trust me the way i trust you? something's wrong with you, you know world's so fast and you're so slow all the cities look the same better quit before you drowned better stop and turn around you are no good for this game but if you want i'll say it loud: that's what i've always dreamed about

Idle 04:39
words that i say they don't make sense making you tired, whoa i look at you idle i see deep inside you there's nothing that's waiting to content me by every last breath every last breath taking it's time, whoa i look at you idle i see deep inside you there's nothing that's waiting to content me by lay in your bed with your past dead praying and crying, whoa i look at your idol

New Pop Song 01:56
in this place we call our own we have never felt at home so i try and i wish it will all come down to this think my father would be proud but he never was around so i try and i wish it will all come down to this all these voices in my head thousand things i never said so i try and i wish it will all come down to this i've been turning inside out but i always feel left out so i try and i wish it will all come down to this well i could find someone to blame but it's gonna stay the same so i try and i wish it will all come down to this think my father will be proud but he never was around so i try and i wish it will all come down to this

about

"The guys named Phooey! from the Zhytomyr region really deserve attention among the many faceless creations of punk rock culture. It seems they don’t bother with absolutely nothing: neither the album names (the release in question is called 7 Songs. It would be unexpected if with such a name there were 10 songs, isn’t it?), neither the recording quality nor the singing ability of the vocalist, neither album design, nor promotion. But at the same time - how much warmth, recklessness, gentleness and ingenuity lies in these uncouth sounds! And this music is not really tough. This is not the “punk rock against the system”, there is no calls to the barricades - instead, this is more like the old noisy American punk, played in a more modern manner, but with the same energy, without pathos, with catchy, simple tunes.
Not everyone, of course, will be able to withstand such lousy recording quality. But you know how it is sometimes - the record is perfectly polished, all the instruments are audible, the harmonies are perfected, the structure is correct, everything is by the book - but there is no soul. This album, on the other hand, is very soulful and atmospheric.

Simple tunes that are played somewhere in the garage for your friends. The noise of life. The melodies are so catchy they can be hummed for a long time afterwards. Fortunately, the lyrics are simple enough :
«I wanna never to see you, and I have wanted to like you, but I can’t»." - takt.net.ua

bass and drums recorded in a single session in May 2013.
