Smog Picture
Bill Callahan, born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan pioneered the lo-figenre of underground rock, with homemade tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he signed a record contract with the label drag city. Callahan started out as a highly experimentalartist, utilizing sub-standard instruments and recording equipment. His reason for using the lo-fi approach was not so much an aesthetic choice, rather it came from his lack of knowledge of recording studios, and fear of giving up control to professional engineers.

Back In School Lyrics

Smog

I saw you standing there
With your hand in his hair
And his hand in
Your back pocket
I couldnt help but stare
I wanted to tell you
That I was back in school
But in the dark of the club
I knew it wouldnt carry much weight
Well, Im trying to learn your language
Im trying to learn your language
I came to your party empty-handed
I came to your party, uninvited
I came to your party, a headstart on the drinking
I wanted to tell you
That I was back in school
But in the chit-chat, chit-chat should that...
Well, Im trying to learn your language
Its like a fly learning how to bark
Im trying to learn your language
Its like a fly learning how to bark
That smile on your face
That smile on your face
That smile on your face
I try to erase
That smile on your face
But a kiss was not the answer
A kiss was not the answer
A drunken kiss was not the answer
