Ougie Bougie

You sleep hard then you wake up
You got your eyes on a new thing
We’re outside and we’re mystified
Why’re you doing what you’re doing?
You could stop, it’d be okay
Instead of dreaming your life away
Fell for their tricks, now truly
All that stuff makes you look goofy
You’ve got a dog now, you say
Has to be a Frenchie, soufflé
Fell for those tricks, but daily
Dressing up both you and poochie
But you’ve got priorities
And everything is Ougie-Bougie
Ougie-Bougie
Here on the path to a new you
The roads diverge, and you’re tired
Don’t do this, do do that
You hesitate and this deal expires
We don’t care what the rulebooks say
We’re wearing white after Labor Day
Fell for their tricks, now truly
All that stuff is tres tres outre
Put out your hand, why shake it?
That’s no way to proletariat
Fall for those tricks now daily
Credit cards are maxed, it’s crazy
But you’ve got strong preferences and
Everything is Ougie-Bougie
Ougie-Bougie
You can stop, it’ll be okay
Instead of dreaming your life away
It’s all you’ll never know
Everything is just for show
Fall for those tricks, now truly
All that stuff makes us look goofy
Show off that check-mark, bluey
Verified and whooped-doo-ee
Fell for those tricks, but daily
Never time for smoothie-saily
Die for priorities and everything
And Ougie-Bougie
Ougie-Bougie

Still Life At Night
03:43

Your legs your beating heart
You ran too fast I blame the car
And falling down was never in your plan
You gasp and cry hardly a sound
I feel you slowing down
Your legs twitch, silent, not a sound
I cry, hardly a sound at all
It’s still at night
Still, life at night is
Never wanting to see the light of day
You see better at night anyway
Still, you run too fast for your beating heart
Still life in watercolors
Dripping like mascara down my face
You silent like a prop
Too small to notice and they didn’t even stop
You never knew
They never knew
And it was all to fast but I saw everything
And that’s life
Never wanting to see the light of day
You see better at night anyway
Still, you run too fast for your beating heart
Stiff legs, your beating heart
You ran and I still blame the car
You gasp, I cry and stare at nothing
Never wanting to see the light of day
You see better at night anyway
Still, you run too fast for your beating heart

Aaron Tap Los Angeles, California
Aaron Tap is terrible at branding. So he releases shit from both his current band Frank Shirts and, lately, the resurrected
Boston trio Betty Goo, and maybe someday even a solo record. There are themes, yeah, but mostly it's whatever spirit moves the music that decides what name it goes by.
Aaron also plays and sings with Matt Nathanson, the Paula Kelley Orchestra, and Populuxe.

Fellow Boston ex-pats know how to make music that sounds great and surprises. Check it.

Nineteen Something Nine

I used to be more actively *in* this band but I play guitar on this, their best, record. Love it!

Ok, so I'm a little Boston-centric. But this album is so good, my label was gonna put it out before we closed up shop instead.
