lyrics

Brian comes in peace
Lives by the river's edge and reminisces about the seventies
He sings a tattered tune
Brian's a little rough, but hey, that's what I'm use to

Here today
One by one you're swept away
I hate to say it but I know what tomorrow brings

Farewell to the misfits of my hometown
To the drunks and eccentrics I adore
And I'll be sad when you're gone cause I won't hear those stupid hard rock songs
Blasting on your radio

Brian wears red, gold, and green
Is all peace and love but he gives the girls the creeps
Red head in a reggae band
One drop beat with a mic in his hand
And he's singing, and he's singing
A mighty swan song
For Brian it won't be long
In this foreign land
Brian is an alien

Packed up and ready to leave
A sobering silence with just the buzzing of the tractor beam
Brian floats up, suspended in the air
He's off to a place, where, I don't know, but after all, who's left to care

Farewell to the misfits of my hometown
To the drunks and eccentrics I adore
And I'll be sad when you're gone cause I won't hear those stupid hard rock songs
Blasting on your radio

Brian comes in peace

about

The Boo Radley Project Guelph, Ontario

The Boo Radley Project is a indie-funk septet founded in 2011
in Guelph, ON.

Boo’s music evokes an intimate connection within the textured grooves, the kind that can only
be conjured up by a group of close-knit friends. They have been likened to everyone from Wilco
and Mr. Bungle to Primus and Tower of Power. ... more
