    Steven Page, Brian Wilson lyrics;
    Drove downtown in the rain
    Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
    Just to check out the late-night record shop
    Call it impulsive, Call it compulsive
    Call it insane
    But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop
    It's a matter of instinct
    It's a matter of conditioning and a matter of fact
    You can call me Pavlov's Dog
    Ring a bell and I'll salivate
    How'd you like that?
    Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue
    'Cause right now I'm lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did
    Well I am lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did
    So I'm lying here
    Just staring at the ceiling tiles
    And I'm thinking about, oh what to think about
    Just listening and relistening
    To Smiley Smile
    And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
    Because I'm lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did
    Well I am lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did, whoa
    And if you want to find me
    I'll be out in the sandbox
    Just wondering where the hell all the love has gone
    I'm playing my guitar and building
    Castles in the sun, oh oh oh
    And singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"
    Lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did
    Well I am lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did, whoa
    I had a dream
    That I was three hundred pounds
    And though I was very heavy
    I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
    I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
    Somebody, I couldn't see the ground
    Somebody, I couldn't see the ground
    Somebody
    Because I'm lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did
    Well I am lying in bed
    Just like Brian Wilson did, yeah
    Drove downtown in the rain
    Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
    Just to check out the late-night record shop
    Call it impulsive, call it compulsive
    You can call it insane, oh oh
    But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop

      You said it. It doesn't feel right to here "brian wilson" without eds "late night record shop". BNL still awesome but you can just here something missing. What ever the issue was, it's not worth not being a part of the best band there is (in my opinion).

Your music lifts me, inspires and outright keeps me happy. I would love to share my story and military experience with you but not on this post. Anyhow thanks for everything and keep it going.

    Best of luck to BNL and no hard feelings but I always thought Steven Page was not only the soul of the band - who are all very talented musicians - but Page was the unique songwriter, singer and wordsmith that made the band special, idiosyncratic, and quirky. Not to mention that his voice is... just beautiful with a tinge of soul. I could listen to it all day. Steven Page has his demons, like I did, and I hope him well... and I get why he struck out on his own. Shit, calling yourself, "Bare Naked Ladies" is quirky and will get you noticed in your twenties back in the early 90s but, gatdamn... trying to pull that off when you are fifty and have a family?... cripes... I dunno even what to say.
