Nevertheless TAYF is a land mark record in the early 2000's that can truly be considered a classic in the pop-punk/emo genre.Your lipstick, his collar don't bother Angel I know exactly what goes on When everything you'll get is Everything that you've wanted, Princess Well which would you prefer My finger on the trigger, or (Me face down, down across your floor) Me face down, down across your floor (Me face down, down across your floor) Well just so long as this thing is loaded And will you tell all your friends You've got your gun to my head This all was only wishful thinkin', This all was only wishful thinkin' And will you tell all your friends You've got your gun to my head This all was only wishful thinkin' This all was only wishful thinkin' Let's go Don't bother trying to explain Angel I know exactly what goes on when you're on and How about I'm outside of your window How about I'm outside of your window Watchin' him keep the details covered You're such a sucker for a sweet talker, yeah And will you tell all your friends You've got your gun to my head This all was only wishful thinkin' This all was only wishful thinkin' (The only thing I regret is that I never let you hold me back) And will you tell all your friends You've got your gun to my head This all was only wishful thinkin' This all was only wishful thinkin' Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins I will never ask if you don't ever tell me I know you well enough to know you never loved me Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins I will never ask if you don't ever tell me I know you well enough to know. (Me face down, down across your floor) Me face down, dead across your floor (Me face down, down across your floor) Well, just so long as this things loaded Chorus And will you tell all your.
While Taking Back Sunday has released 4 other records ( with a wide variety of members) and even seeing a reunion of this album's line up, many of their fans consider this to me their magnum opus. By 2003 John Nolan would leave the group, bringing along bassist Shaun Cooper to start A Straylight Run (rumors state that it was over Adam cheating on Nolan's sister, and with a band like this what else could break them up other than a girl) while Taking Back Sunday would recruit Fred Mascherino & Matt Rubano and continue on their way.
While fans swooned over the criss-crossing voices of Lazzara & Nolan, and their more than expressive lyrics (I'm sick of writing every song, about you!, for example) it would not last long. Fueled by the angst circa 20 year old feelings of lead vocalist, Adam Lazzara, lead guitar & vocalist, John Nolan, rhythm guitarist, Eddie Reyes, bassist, Shaun Cooper and drummer, Mark O'Connell, about romance, love and loss (as well a feud with New York native Jesse Lacey of Brand New helped their cause too) the album found a frenzy fan base and by 2005 it was certified Gold. TAYF, ( as it abbreviated by it's fans) helped Taking Back Sunday, along with previous acts (Sunny Day Real Estate, blink 182, Jimmy Eat World) and contemporary groups (Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Dashboard Confessional) bring the Pop-Punk/Emo genre into the the front and center of Rock in the early 2000's. There's No 'I' in Team Lyrics: Well I can't regret / Can't you just forget it / I started something I couldn't finish / And if we go down, we go down together / Best friends means / Well best. The debut of American Rock band Taking Back Sunday, released in early 2002.
