- Brian Vander Ark of The Verve Pipe wishing life long friend and fan Geoff Koboldt a special 50th happy birthday.
I had the pleasure of watching the commercial success of the Verve Pipe on RCA records while my own band Figurehead was trying to make it in the late 90's. This song "the freshmen" will always hold a special place in my heart as it does for many in the great state of Michigan.
When I was young, I knew everything
And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin', with my head on the floor
Stoppin' baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, now
Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of Valium and slept
And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin', with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says
"Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place"
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey-yeah
Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbin', with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say
"Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touchin' her face
And I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place"
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise, and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise, and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen
