Name: Smugglers
Duration: P00H04M50S
Description: In the late 90’s Frank heard a rumor that the bassist for the Vancouver band The Smugglers was leaving and felt writing this song might be a way to flatter the band and let him fill the vacancy. The Smugglers liked the track but felt that boating shoes would have been a more appropriate lyric for their foot ware rather than bowling shoes. Frank never played bass for The Smugglers

lyrics

I got all your records
I know all your songs
I wouldn’t need to practice
I already play along

I can learn all your moves
I can wear bowling shoes
Trade in my teenage rage
Kiss chicks on the stage

Won’t you let me be, the bassist for The Smugglers

Why didn’t you call me
I waited by the phone
Why didn’t you call me…back
