The Dudes are another band who are local to me here in Calgary. The indie rock band was formed in Calgary in 1996 and have been compared by critics to Modest Mouse. I was fortunate enough to catch one of their shows at the Hi-Fi club a few years back. Do the Right Thing is a single from their 2006 album Brain Heart Guitar. I actually wanted to post a different single from The Dudes but was unable to find anything of good enough quality on YouTube. If you want to hop over to their MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/wearethedudes, I highly recommend giving Don’t Talk a listen.
My bedroom’s worse than the Catholic church
I let anyone in
And now my carnal sins
Have got ginger beef so boring
My heart’s wide open
I sure was hoping you could close it down
It seems I’m finding out
That loving you girl can be so frightening
And you strike me like gas and ligtning
Love me, don’t just spend the night
You can’t count on me to do the right thing
And help me do the right thing
And you steel my nerve and you strike me
Love don’t like me
Don’t just spend the night
You can’t count on me to do the right thing
I’ve made time with girls
From every walk of life
And line of work
It’s fine, I’m sure there must be something more
Because when we touch I swear
I think I think too much
I still remember every minute if you were in it
And you strike me, smite me
Ladies like me
Love me, don’t just spend the night
You can’t count on me to do the right thing
Say my name and I will give you anything
Kiss my face and I’ll kiss yours anyway
Walk my way and watch me lose my mind
And do the right thing
Hold my hand and I will tell you everything
Say you’ll wait and I will get you anything
Just don’t go or watch me lose control
You steal my nerve and you’ve struck my life
Don’t love me for just one night
You can’t count on me to do the right thing
