Eljam

Eljam’s music is driven by powerful lyrics and equally robust guitar riffs. Victor McGhee wrote most of the lyrics and the general melodies for the tunes, with each band member usually writing his own part. Mike Wich played guitar, Billy Armstrong played bass and Paul Vourderis played drums. Victor also played rhythm guitar and was the lead singer, while Mike occasionally provided back-up vocals. Thanks to 2006 technology, Victor appears on this compilation from 2499 miles away in Phoenix, Arizona. His parts were recorded in Black Canyon City Studio. Due to circumstances beyond our control, an understudy (Mike) played all of the instruments. With respects to Billy’s massive bass lines, Paul’s innovative drum style and Victor’s Ovation-based acoustic rhythm guitar playing, Mike has tried to be as true as possible to the original performances of the original members of the band.

Lyrics

Pull Myself Together

This town just seems to be getting worse and worse
My mind keeps thinking about the bills due on the first.
It’s lonely sure, but it’s so peaceful here
And when I’m alone, I can’t help but want you near.

It’s escapist I know, I’ve got to give myself a chance
I’ve just got to stop trying to get into your pants.
It’s hard to be yourself when you’re so new at the game.
And yet I know the rules, It’s still the same.

But I think I can pull myself together
And I think I can make it if I try.
I’ve got to believe what people say about me sometimes.
I think you know the reason why.

My life’s like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle
The pieces are there but at first things look so funny.
Then one by one, they fall into place.
The picture is me, but I still can’t see my face.

But I think I can pull myself together
And I think I can make it if I try.
I’ve got to believe what people say about me sometimes.
I think you know the reason why.

But I think I can pull myself together
And I think I can make it if I try.
I’ve got to believe what people say about me sometimes.
I think you know the reason why.
I think you know the reason why.
I think you know the reason why.
I think you know the reason why.
