Cigarettes & Valentines (San Jose, CA)

[The Disappearing Boy]

i can see why people say hearts collide and lights out could have come from this album, as they don't sound like anything on ai or 21st CB

[check]

I think many of the C&V songs have been cannibalized and used to make some AI and 21stCB songs (as well as Money Money 2020 and Stop Drop and Roll!). I'm not saying they were the same songs, but if we ever do get to hear C&V, we'll notice a lot of lyrics and chord progression are similar to some songs in their latest albums.

Yeah i agree

[Brian]

Every time i see this, i always think that there is new info on it...like the tapes have been "found"

[Katarina.]

I saw this thread on top of the page, and I was like: "So they finally have more info about it, like a recording or something?? "

Well.. maybe next time xD

[XBlade1X]

Okay, so can people leave this thread alone UNLESS there is actually something about the album found, or knows something about the songs? I can imagine it being pretty annoying that everytime someone says something in here, It makes everyone think that someones found something.

Sorry im in a pretty bad mood. I just woke up and have been searching all the pages in hope to find info.

[thisisAB]

No its okay its not mine. it used to be on wikipedia so i saved it

Yeah Wikipedia often has fake covers, there was a fake EJN one a while ago. It's pretty bad though, I'm glad it's not a real one.

This was not during an interview. BJA said this directly to me at Storytellers in 2005, when I asked about the stolen record. Of course they didn't air that question. Why don't I get credit for anything here!?

DJ Rossstar

Good thing you asked him this question. Any other details about the lost album that Billie may have told you?

WELCOME BACK

You used to be a comedian, but now you're just a joke

We're breathing in your hot air and you're laughing while we choke

We put all of our trust in you, but all you told were lies

But go ahead and laugh away 'cause we're plotting your demise

We won't give up the fight

We'll take it to the streets tonight

Our flags are burning high

We're all victims of the new regime

Infested with hypocrisy

Because you would never ask why, will you ever ask?

All your so-called allies are now shadows in the dark

And your so-called integrity is buried in the past

The blood is spilled upon the ground of all those who believed

How many thousands will it take to satisfy your greed?

We won't give up the fight

We'll take it to the streets tonight

Our flags are burning high

We're all victims of the new regime

Infested with hypocrisy

Because you would never ask why, will you ever ask why...

[greendayfan_0491]

I said in another thread but I read that the songs from the Cigarettes and Valentines could have ended up on the album by The Network.

[The Disappearing Boy]

they do sound very billie-like lyrics to me...

[Darkirion]

Interesting...

[Guest]

we could be getting somewhere..

More lyrics from This Link

"Whats My Name?"

Hello my name is nobody

But you can call me frustration

I'm a face without a personality

So try to use your imagination

And don't think you can see me now

Or call me on the phone

If you're knocking on my door you'll find

Nobody's not home

Hello my name is emptiness

But you can call me nobody

I don't understand your master plan

So where's your fucking empathy?

And don't think you can see me now

Or call me on the phone

If you're knocking on my door you'll find

Nobody's not home

"Strange Old World"

Save yourself from all this confusion

Got to be yourself 'cause life is an illusion

That shelters you from reality

Run away 'cause you're standing on a landmine

If I killed myself it wouldn't be the first time

Now I've thrown away the wisdom I don't need

Now I'm here on the brink of sanity

Living in an artificial dream

Mediocrity and lies are by my side

Now I've nowhere to go and my past is lost in time

My life is a bomb and its time is ticking

These wasted years have just left me sitting

And waiting for the world to re-arrange

I lost my feet and fell in a landslide

Landed on the ground and I found a new life

But it went too fast like the life that never came

Now I'm here on the brink of sanity

Living in an artificial dream

Mediocrity and lies are by my side

Now I've nowhere to go and my past is lost in time

actually they're probably just fan-made stuff.

ya gotta love some peopl, hey? see this.

[BadgerLALA]

One thing I have never quit understood about the tapes got missing. Why didn't the guys just record the songs again? They had written them, so they would know the song very well. At least Billie, who use to write all the songs for Green Day.

i htink billie said the songs weren't 'maximum green day'

in other words, i don't think they liked them. hence they were 'stolen'.

plus they said they weren't the same as the original tapes

Okay okay. So Green Day "stolen" their own tapes b/c they didn't like them and then they could start from square one again.

But I'm glad they got "stolen" or else they would never had done American Idiot
