> seventy sevens – “mt” from ‘sticks and stones’

One of the greatest bands you probably never heard of is the 77′s. They were and are a rare combination of legendary live performances and thought provoking lyrics. One of their best albums was Sticks and Stones

The album was not a proper studio release but was in the words of the liner notes

unreleased demos, dead dogs, weak sisters, failed experimentsand/or otherwise brilliant material(depending on your point of view) that never saw the light of day.”

One of my favorite songs from that album is MT

Lyrics to MT

Come on let me in
I swear I’ll be your only friend
And I will get down on my knees for you
And if I could
You know I would do anything at all
To get you near today
Hear me say

You’re more than money
More than glory
More than I could ever hope to say
You’re more than beauty
More than mystery
More than now
More than yesterday

Take me to your heart
‘Cuz there is where we make it start
And I will get down on my knees for you
And pay the price
Sacrifice
Do anything at all to melt your soul on ice
Realize

You’re more than money
More than glory
More than I could ever hope to say
You’re more than beauty
More than mystery
More than now
More than yesterday

More than a lover
More than a friend
More than a talent
More than a trend
More than a mystery
More than a dance
More than your history
More than romance
More than your politics
More than your plans
More than a sure thing
More than a chance
More than your weakness
More than your strength
More than completeness
More than fragments
