A girl with cotton in her ears is shielded from the bells' effect
She looks around at all of her companions in this lonely world
The population of her home city, all with her in life and yet
She is alone, for they all seem to know something she does not
But she does not want to know, for knowledge is ruin in this new world
She may only walk her solitary path because she is free
But this freedom is, indeed, short-lived
For what she feared would be an eventuality finally occurred
As if by hidden signal, the people turn to face her
One thousand eyes are staring
They pull away her earplugs
She listens to the bells!
She lets them fill her soul!
We can all see her smile
As she finally feels the toll!

Nerd rock meets ska with some amazing reimaginings of TMBG hits and some deeper cuts. I am not exaggerating when I say that I couldn't stop myself from dancing, especially at the awesome cover of The End of the Tour. JK Lowell
