@@misaelyajurepirone4031 when it's that many influences it's just along new music. I don't like when people call them a retro band (not saying you're saying that btw). Just think theyre the brightest rock minds as far as how relatively new and how rough they are. Some people like some of these other bands that are "kinda" like them but those bands are all trash retro , boring and unorignal as far as I'm concerned.

I've got huge love, afternoon love with the queen of school (Not a little schoolboy's love) Main attraction in the classroom Students want her, teachers too, but she walked right up next to me. She said "Shane, boy, be my toy, my pussy's your employer (Pardon my, my, my French) Just a little in and out 'cause, Shane, I want to scream and shout," oh She was good to me. The magic of Daisy was she made you feel like it wasn't real Like your wounds are all healed. I know that it happened and it doesn't really matter If you think that I'm lying, then you haven't seen what she's done to me How I'm finally free, She was looking at me, no, she was looking at Oh, at what she's done to me The queen of my school, oh yeah The queen of my school We made rude love, it was screwed up but I don't mind (really don't matter, ah) Main attraction in the bedroom If someone saw they'd be confused, 'cause She was not ordinary. My mistake was when I thought of getting close to her (Breaking my heart apart) "Oh no, Shane, it's not like that, You're a mouse, I'm a cat" I cried myself to sleep, ooh The magic of Daisy was she made you feel like it wasn't real Like your wounds are all healed. I know that it happened and it doesn't really matter If you think that I'm lying then you haven't seen what she's done to me How I'm finally free, She was looking at me, no, she was looking at Oh, at what she's done to me The queen of my school, oh yeah The queen of my school What she's done to me
