Bandwidth Monsters

The Bandwidth Monsters (BWM) were formed in 1991. BWM just got back from a tour of Mexico having played in numerous dive bars in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Chiapas, Los Cabos, Guadalajara, and Mexico City from 1991-2002. We came back to Chicago from Mexico after our drummer Raul was offered a job on a popular Mexican soap opera (he's the good looking gay guy going after both Miriam and Carlos..figure it out). During our extended tour we played in Helsinki Finland also and were notorious there as an ABBA look alike band. We now play what comes naturally. Scott Fraser and Dave Daker are the primary song writers.

My father’s madness

My father sits alone down in his basement room

Surfing on the internet downloading pornography I bet

I’ve seen the couples children animals group sex and all

Still his madness grows

Mr. Gates and Ellison

Ballmer and Andresson

Why did you invite all of this madness to our lives?

My father shuts me out

We rarely talk about

The time he spends online

The garbage and disease unwinds

I’ve seen the hate crimes, pictures, videos of freaks and all

Something’s rotten in his brain

The internet drives him insane

AOL and MSN

Dell, Compaq and IBM

High-speed fiber optic cable

Bandwidth monsters, MP3s

Each and every day his madness grows..

Burning, got me yearning, got me learning

got me so disabled

Burning, got my head on, got my side arm

Got me so damn jaded

Burning, trying it turn it, got my thing off,

Got me all disabled

Burning, got me moaning, got my head on

Got it all disabled

Burning, got my head off, got my head on (pause)

And I’m so disabled

We regularly play at a resort where Swingers and Naturalists swap tales and wives.

Elvis, Heroin, mothballs, Spike Lee, Mao, Lennon, Lenin, and Marx (as in Groucho)

Happy with you

I’ve been living my life for someone like you

I’ve been walking this earth all-searching for truth

I never thought that I’d meet somebody like you

My heart is cold; my fire burned fuel

And when I look at myself, I don’t wanna know

I’ve been living a lie, and time passes so

And I get out of bed, yearning for ya

Beads of sweat on my head, waiting for ya

Never was one to forget

There’s a new happy in my head

Everything about it was you

I’m so happy with you

Fridgerator’s empty, I went out to shop

Bought some sushi, croissants and egg plant

Made a meal for later tonight

Here’s hoping that you will stop by

I talked to myself and I don’t answer back

Looked in the mirror and found it had cracked

Been searching around, for coins in the couch

Nickels and dimes, half dollars, Eisenhower’s

Found a lucky penny in you

Got myself all shiny and new

Everything about you is true

I’m so happy with you

My self-confidence is unusually strong

That’s normally a sign of an upcoming letdown

I’ll check my horoscope and read all the news

Perhaps I’ll move your pinup otherside of the room

Maybe there will be a sign from god

Or better yet, maybe you’ll call

I opened up the mail and waited for you

Spent half of the day waiting for you

Told my mom that you were the one

She laughed so hard and said so son.

Pretty smart girls like her

Never have a boy like you

Everything she’s said is true

I’m so happy with you

Everything about it is true

I’m so happy with you

I’m so happy with you.
