(if you want to play it in your iPod I would suggest
mp3 VBR Low)
Immediate download of Leslie in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
I met her in 1992, when I took a year off from school. She was doing the same and our brief time together, those nights on route 50 in our own limbo, changed my life.
In 92'
Leslie made her grand debut.
On a stage in front of me,
that only I could see.
She had a grin,
like Mary Stewart Masterson
She like to wear her platinum hair,
as short as she could bear.
Route 50,
Saratoga, Ballston Spa, Schenectady,
Driving the first car I ever knew,
a 1980 Malibu.
We'd drive at night,
I'd talk as her lips bathed in dashboard light.
Pacing the roads of the midnight land
Schenectady to Amsterdam
Leslie she came with her own dynamic,
her breath on my skin makes me panic!
Her hands sculpt a body just as easy as clay,
I wonder where she is Today!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!

I wonder where she is Today!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!
Na Na Na Na Naaa!

Neo Eclectic, Soul Reflected, Sounds From Real Life!
Born in the glory and pageant of the
noble working cities of Boise, Cleveland, Schenectady, Boston and Syracuse, "The Heartsleeves" is the voice of the no frills sincerity of real world American life.
We write our songs live, and refine them into a melancholy powder of sweet painful regret and sprinkle it on hearty soul pop....more
My buddy Ben is living the bass in this band that is fighting the good fight to bring back real, high quality, make you leap out of your pants, SOUL music. The Heartsleeves
