We’re still around, ain’t drawing any flies Maybe we should a packed it in, like all the other girls and guys And the cellar rumbles and my ears are ringing Ain’t hurting anyone as the clock runs down Breaking sticks and strings, under, underneath the ground And the cellar rumbles and my ears are ringing Won’t Let U Down, won’t let you down Won’t Let U Down, won’t let you down The room is shaking, but we can feel it and we just sing right through Can you feel it, maybe your ears are ringing too Yeah, my ears are ringing Yeah, Won’t Let U Down, won’t let you down etc.

Lifetime 02:41
Are you gonna get to fit everything in Cause they say it’s almost over, soon after it begins Don’t it seem like there’s never enough days As you pass your time away Did you get to see the wonders of the world? Or were you filled with disappointment, as it all unfurled Don’t it feel like we all have dues to pay Does it matter anyway In your Lifetime, In your Lifetime The changes that you feel and generate are real And everything you steal will be returned And with no reason why, some of us shall be denied While some of us have something more to say Do you think it all adds up to something more Do you think theres a higher power that knows what’s in store Don’t it seem like there’s never enough days As you pass your time away In your Lifetime, In your Lifetime It’s your Lifetime, It’s your Lifetime It’s your life…

In a review mirror, you’re never gonna get it back Taking it for granted, takes you further down the track And it’s all so beautiful Playing now, playing for yesterday Realizing now, you’re not going to get a replay And it’s all so beautiful as it plays out in your head Those thoughts to cross your lips and all you are left with Are the words you never said. All the words you never said. Letters never sent, like money unspent It’s always going to be that way Because they’re all gone and you belong To the debts, you’re unable to pay And it’s all so beautiful as it plays out in your head Those thoughts to cross your lips and all you are left with Are the words you never said.

She hears a different sound, from a distant land And she dreams of other worlds, she has a different plan And with the world outside her door, she never needs to ask for more Call the record man, lets see what we can see She’s got an armful now, we’ll be what we will be She’s has the music in her soul, Yeah - she believes in rock & roll C’mon, C’mon, happy hunting, Diane C’mon, C’mon, happy hunting, Diane I heard she’s been to Mars, and down Inclusion too. She’s reaching for the stars, cause only that'll do She don’t know what she’s searching for, she only knows that she wants more C’mon, C’mon, happy hunting, Diane C’mon, C’mon, happy hunting, Diane Happy Hunting, Happy Hunting, Diane…

I Can't Be 02:47
Well I’ve been playing all your games While you’ve been hanging out with names And I ain’t gonna be the one Whose gonna be shot down in flames Cause anyone can see right through The hollowness inside of you You never finish what you start You’ll never leave me with a broken heart Cause, I can’t be, what you want me to be No, I can’t be, what you want me to be I never wanna let you down I never wanna see you frown I’m sorry if I made you cry Sorry if I’m not the guy But you want me to lie for you Believe in things that just aint true Then turn and look the other way And do the fucked-up things you say Cause, I can’t be, what you want me to be No, I can’t be, what you want me to be Interlude When I’m up you’re always down When I am down you’re not around But mostly it don’t matter Cause you’re hardly ever here in town And I can’t take this any more I’m not the man I was before I’m tired and I’m fading fast And I don’t think I’m gonna last Cause, I can’t be, what you want me to be No, I can’t be, what you want me to be…

Laura 02:17
Scag “Laura, what you gonna do, if I make you love me Laura, I’m gonna hold you close, and never ever let you go You say that I can call if I wanna Will you still be there, when everybody else is gone C’mon baby with your long black leather, your punk rock boots I’ve got to get to know you better What you gonna do if I make you love me. You say that I can call if I wanna Will you still be there, when everybody else is gone C’mon baby with your long black leather, your punk rock boots I’ve got to get to know you better What you gonna do if I make you love me…”

about

We have always been “The New Frustrations” in name but this is our third band under the moniker. Life and circumstance have made clear beginnings and ends for each. Some devastatingly sad, some based on life choices. In all those situations, we have had an opportunity to reinvent ourselves. So, here we are, v3. Yeah!

If you ever came to a show, clapped after songs, or at least did not throw anything dangerous, we salute you. Special thanks to all the uber supporters, you know who you are! We hopefully express our thanks whenever we see you.

Reviews:
"As a lean power trio, Brian, Rick, and Tom have developed a sound of their own. Lifetime mostly leaves behind the '70s punk influences of the band's early releases. The vibe I'm getting from these songs is '80s college radio meets classic Boston power pop. "Won't Let U Down" is rockin' power pop straight out of the textbook. The title track and 'I Can't Be" sound like the best songs Grant Hart and Bob Mould never wrote. "Words You Never Said" recalls the power pop side of The Replacements. "Diane (Happy Hunting)" is a moving character sketch and one of the catchiest pop songs you could ever hope to hear. The surprise track is "Laura," which finds The New Frustrations going all-in on bar band rock 'n' roll."
