STOCKTON BOYS

Version 2

They're coming down for the blood and spit every Friday night when the 5:30 hit
They come looking to collect and get wrecked
They come down here every on the phone and they leave their little girls at home
They turn and they check
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Coming down from the factory
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Coming in with me
Oh Stockton Boys acting tough making noise
Coming down, baby, from the mill
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Come looking for a kiss
Yeah Stockton boys, sha na na, sha na na
Sha la la la la la
Stockton boys sha na na na
Yeah yeah yeah yeah


Quite similar to it's companion piece, STOCKTON GIRLS. In some ways it is also comparable to Working On The Highway, boys finishing a tough day or week at work and looking for love, or something more physical. A short acoustic demo like many others that preceded the bands work on the album.

1979-1980 Home demo. Some resemblances with YOU GOTTA BE KIND. Along with version 1, version 3, and version 4, was recorded in Jan 1980 in Holmdel, NJ.
