ALIBI
(written by Alynda Segarra)
You don't have to die if you don't wanna die,
You can take it all back in the nick of time.
Maybe even be a good friend of mine,
Baby I..
And we won't have to cry if we don't wanna cry,
Maybe I got something left in this heart of mine.
Awash in the sand on the beach of time,
Baby I..
You know that time can take you for a ride,
Can take you by surprise,
Maybe you'll roll snake eyes.
Baby tell me why,
You gotta play your luck?
Two aces call your bluff,
I love you very much,
And all that other stuff.
Thawing out my heart like meat,
I see your track marks poking through your hoodie sleeve,
Tik Tak Toe game to the destiny
I grieve.
Marching towards East River Park,
You told me your big secret by the FDR.
I couldn't hear you over choppers and the buzzing cars,
So far..
You know that time will take you for a spin,
Can really do you in,
Can leave you with the bends,
Baby try to live again!
And play another hand,
Maybe we'll start a band,
I wanna understand,
Baby help me understand.
Cause you don't have to die if you don't wanna die,
Maybe I got something left that is worth a try,
But I'm not gonna be your alibi,
This time.

This is another great song by Hurray for the Riff-Raff, a classic, and I'm 72. I love the lead singer and this group, just a beautiful composition

I completely agree! Love Alynda's voice, love their lyrics .. I'm falling in love with their total sound. Sometimes an album comes along, and it's all I want to listen to. Haven't heard a bad song yet from this band!

@@krystalharris79 Totally agree!
this song is saving my soul in real time
i suppose it's in the name - hurray for the riff raff - that her music always feels like it's for the misfits and forgotten who are trying to live a good life alongside those more 'normal' people, more functional people. i always assumed i was in the latter group but i've grown to realise i was never one of them... i grew up in a very 'normal' and healthy family but i was an utter black sheep. I'm depressive and creative and weird, i'm curious about everything, i want to do everything my own way. i could not be less like the rest of my family who do everything 'right' but straight and narrow. i think i've always felt like i wasn't good enough because of that. these days i'm trying to lean into what it is that makes me different

@manfrombritain6816: I totally hear you all the way! For me, Hurray for the Riff Raff's song Hawk Moon is semi-autobiographical - I relate to it so much! I just love their whole sound! I learned to embrace my weird a very long time ago! And along the way I found my tribe of misfit toys to keep me company. Keep leaning! What makes you different is what makes your life worthwhile! 🤩 You can come be weird with us! I promise, we don't bite! (not too hard, anyway, unless you like it that way) 😋

Heres a secret most of us felt this way…
Another triumph. So beyond excited for the album. They are so freaking talented it hurts. This spoke to me so deeply, addiction is a fickle beast, but love is forever. Thank you for this.
They just keep coming. This sounds great. Stay alive, everyone.
It gets better the more you listen
EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS JUST BEAUTIFUL! Love her.......
My only complaint with this song is that it's too short!
Haven't been inspired by the song lyrics from an album or an artist in a very long time. That is no longer the case. Hurray For The Riff Raff's lyrics "I saw your track marks poking through your hoodie sleeve" in the song Alibi convinced me The Past is Still Alive with the revelation that I didn't have to die, that I got out in the nick of time, and that there is still something left is this heart of mine. Bravo!!!! Thank you Alynda Segarra for humbling me and reminding me of who I am
lovely
Love this as a swan song for well loved people who succumb to addictive diseases
Been listening for a while! Tks for the great tunes❤
One of my favorite bands/artists of all time!
Love HURRAY. Can't get the Alibi words and tune out of my head.
Such a perfect song. Feels timeless.
Amazing voice
I like the sound of this. A whole lot!
A Wonderful band & deserve to be played a lot more on radio etc. Trouble with the music industry is that so many Great artists get overlooked.
Loved it! Looking forward to the next project
Love it. Always on the money 😊

Good song, glad to hear from this band again! 👍

One of the best lyricists I've heard since the end of the Vietnam War. Persevere, amazing daughter.
"Alibi" is #20 on my playlist chart. It has spent 6 months in the Top 20.
Intriguing lyrics!
Brilliant, Alynda!
Beautiful. Another winner from HFTRR
My new favorite band.
Wonderful, I look forward to the new album
I'm glad I went to see you at the spur of the moment at the foundry. Hope your impression of Phila is improving. I love you music.

Please mention my atlas you used so much in the background of your video- the U.S. Railroad Traffic Atlas, available at Railfan Depot.
I saw a friend of mine far off by the edge of the jungle. I didn't call out for him because....you know. So I slowly, cautiously walked in towards him. I wanted to yell..."hey Jay, get over here." But he just seemed to walk slowly around that tree. Looked like he was putting a rope around it, but what the hell for? We don't do that. I kept my head down as I ran faster towards him, then I looked up. He wasn't Jay anymore. He wasn't...anyone. The intestinal rope he lapped around the tree had come to its end. And with it....Jay. Normal? Never heard of it. TJR 40th ARRS POW Vietnam
