A ’70s PHOTOGRAPH Standing on the edge of the grass I’m thirteen again and lost in the past Feeling like the Fourth of July It’s Jeff Lynn again he’s getting me high High…getting me high  A photograph out of the blue  It’s a picture and it used to be you  Waiting for the TV for M.A.S.H . Stuck in the basement and it’s leaving me fast  Your gaze has unmade me  Lost in a ’70s Photograph …a photograph  Climbing up a tree with your name  Right next to mine but it’s my heart to blame  Waiting in the woods for the day  Peter’s here and he will show you the way  Your gaze has unmade me  Lost in a ’70s Photograph …a photograph  You got a one-way ticket yeah   From all the bullshit left down here  You bought a one-way ticket yeah  Standing on the edge of the grass I’m thirteen again and lost in the past Waiting for a moment in time  Back to the morning when you still were mine  Mine…still were mine

Digging Out 03:18
DIGGING OUT I’ve been digging out From all the problems that remain You’d go home again but you can’t  I’ve been digging out From all the problems that remain You’d go home again but you can’t  I only lie Yeah all the time I only lie But you can’t linger on, No you can’t linger on, No you can’t linger on 'Cause you’re gone… I’ve been thinking ‘bout All the problems I have known You go home again but you can’t All that’s left to me And all the shadows they’ve flown You’d go home again but you can’t

WASTED I know you’re wasted you’re damaged I wanted you To hear I’m sorry, for all the things I put you through I’d been entrusted, I busted, surrendered to All the things unknowing, and idle They’re all that I have now I watched you dancing naked I crawled up all inside Like a little onion, an indian who wanted to hide I know you’re wasted and damaged and now I know  Forget the knowledge, erase it It’s all that I have now I watched the scenery go tumbling down I watched this world of yours go spinning ’round You’d been captured by the past we gave away I see it like only yesterday I know you’re wasted you’re damaged I wanted you To hear I’m sorry, for all the things I put you through I’d been entrusted, I fucked up and now I know That I’m as damaged and wasted As all of us are now I watched the sun go down right in your eyes I’ve seen the damage done the needle rise You’d been captured by the past you gave away I see it like only yesterday I know I know now

ANOTHER DAY GONE BYE Another day gone by that I’ve wasted Another day gone by and I cant seem to face it  this time (But) I’ve been tryin’ Another month gone by and I’m busted Another month gone by and it seems such a waste (But) I’ve been tryin’ With all you left me here well sometimes I’m inclined To pack it up and toss away And when you left me here sometimes I seem fine  But in my head I’m a world away Another year goes by and I notice Another year gone by and I can’t seem to shake That all the time has gone by With all you left me here well sometimes I’m inclined To pack it up and toss away But with you lying there sometimes I’m reminded  A memory of you when you waved…  Goodbye

THE FALLING SKY Catch a falling star if you can I’m holding up my hands To the sky and space See the devil is in his place Here I am watching things go bad Here I am watching things go bad... again Bet your bottom dollar bill This dance will make you ill And the shaman’s face Has a look of pure disgrace Here I am watching things go bad Here I am watching things go bad... again You cannot escape the falling sky You cannot escape the falling sky You cannot escape the falling sky Look into my eyes and you’ll see The way that things should be And the poison grace Showers on the sacred place

I CAN’T DO THAT DAVE Daisy daisy give me your answer do I’m half crazy All for the love of you You got away with all your lying  You had your say but I ain’t buying I read your lips there’s no denying  Today’s just not your day Our fortune’s crazy and the mission’s fubared too Your vision’s hazy So I’ve locked the door on you You got away with all your lying (oh my mind is gone) I get a feeling that I‘m dying (dying for too long) your oxygen well it’s declining (seven hours gone) But your deception I ain’t buying (ain’t buying) No I can’t do that Dave... I’d be digging my own grave I can’t do that Dave... I’d be digging my own grave You got away with all your lying (oh my mind is gone) I got a feeling like I’m dying (dying for too long) Your oxygen well it’s declining (seven hours gone) But your deception I ain’t buying (ain’t buying) No I can’t do that Dave... I’d be digging my own grave I can't do that Dave... I'd be digging my own grave

about

Debut EP from Jets Can't Land. On 75 or Less Records.
Check out this review:

EP Premiere: Providence’s Jets Can’t Land serve up a skilled power-pop punch

Discovering pure power-pop in Rhode Island is no easy task, but Providence rock and roll quartet Jets Can’t Land seem to have it down to a science on their new EP You Can’t Linger On. A sound that’s an amalgamation of tones reminiscent of Sloan, Big Star, and Cheap Trick, the foursome keep it real with tight hooks and groovy guitar solos. Songs about the apocalypse, sci-fi films, and the shit that hurts give a sense of hopeless romantic nerdiness shouting out to the closeted individuals who also want to take someone out on a date. It sums up as heartfelt, bare bones rock that shouldn’t be overlooked.

"Coming right out of a thriving Providence rock scene, Jets Can't Land sound like they hung out with Deer Tick and co. in sweaty bars, especially with songs like “Wasted.”

motifri.com/musicgifts-2/
On their debut EP, You Can’t Linger On, Jets Can’t Land shoots up a hefty dose of ’90s indie rock fueled by feedback and flannel. The opening, “A 70’s Photograph,” is like what would happen if Camper Van Beethoven and Pavement got drunk in a practice space in Olneyville and decided to cut an album.

Marc Clarkin at Motif Magazine likes our ode to a certain Stanley Kubrick film.
"Jets Can’t Land open the show with a truck bomb of ’90s indie rock. On an added note, Jets Can’t Land have a tune called “I Can’t Do That Dave” that is a contender for my local song of the year coming in the next issue."
