Are You Alright - Lyrics - Samiam

Samiam was formed in late 1988 after the breakup of the Gilman club mainstay Isocracy. Their first show was in January 1989 with Christ on Parade. They released records through New Red Archives and Hopeless Records in the US and Burning Heart Records in Europe. In the mid-'90s, the band had two releases on major labels, Atlantic Records in 1994 and Ignition Tommy Boy in 1997. This path achieved modest mainstream success; a video for "Capsized" gained a lot of airplay on MTV, they performed on The Jon Stewart Show in 1994 and the single "She Found You" garnered considerable radio play in 1998. The band toured extensively throughout Europe, North America, and Japan with Bad Religion, Green Day, The Toadies, Sense Field, blink-182, and Millencolin.

You quit them But old habits aren't hard to find You never know Maybe this is gonna be one of those good old times Wasted just a reminder Tried to take a side street all the way back home Stranded in a parking lot isn't what you had in mind Calling someone to come and save you Check down the list of people that you know Skipped over mom and dad thinking I might understand You failed to mention that to me before You dragged me out into the night To meet you at the hospital To see if you were alright Well are you alright Changed your address and your number Got a new job maybe he'll leave you alone How is it you always end up with the same *** guy Going places You know you shouldn't be with people you barely even know Then you come back with sorry stories about your new friends You failed to mention that to me before You dragged me out into the night Chasing down your ambulance To make sure you were alright Well are you alright
