JIMMY DOYLE AND THE ENGINEERS
JD+E

Jimmy Doyle has been a mainstay in the Long Island punk rock scene for about a gazillion years. You may have seen him singing for The Fad, doing sweet jump kicks. You may have seen him playing guitar in The Forthrights doing no sweet jump kicks. You might not have seen him in a few years. I haven't. But now that's over! Here's the first batch of songs from Jimmy's new project The Engineers. No nonsense, super catchy, fucking awesome pop punk. Get into it.

My name is Jimmy Doyle. I'm from Long Island, New York & I wrote these songs to sing & play guitar to. Tom Kelly, Jesse Litwa & Tom Malinowski are recording engineers at Cellar Door Studios & played bass, drums & guitar on this EP.

The song "I'll Come & See You" was written for the late, great, best dude ever Mitch Dubey and it helped spark what became this band.  So I'd like to thank Mitch for his positivity that resonates well beyond his passing.  This record is me & my friends having fun, so it is dedicated to him & his dedication to friends having fun.

Recorded at Cellar Door Studios by The Engineers (Tom Malinowski, Tom Kelly & Jesse Litwa).  Mixed by Tom Malinowski.  All songs written by Jimmy Doyle

**Dear Jimmy**
Dear Jimmy,
It's Jimmy.  Don't be an ass, conduct yourself with a little bit of class.  Remember you last year?  Drowning in debt & crushed by fear?  Maybe this year you'll actually use your head.  Maybe this afternoon you'll actually get out of bed.  Maybe you won't change a damn thing.  We'll see what kind of joy that brings.  STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH THOSE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS.  BRING ON THE NEW YEAR, GOTTA FACE IT WITH NO FEAR. 
Love Jimmy,
Just kidding here's my P.S.
So sick & tired of all your B.S.  Say you feel alone when you're at the show?  What of those who hate to see you go?  What can you do?  Make something new.  Gotta just be you, better make it true.  Going grey & you still get rad, this big bad world it ain't so bad.
This year could be better than your last.  (This year)
If you finally stop running from your past. (No fear)

**I'll Come & See You**
I woke up at 3 O'Clock Today
I wrote this song so it wasn't a total waste
Rode my bike about 10 miles
I thought about you & then I smiled You know I never said goodbye
ILL COME & SEE YOU IF IM IN L.A.
ILL TEXT YOUR SISTER SOMETIMES TO SAY "HEY"
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HOW THEY TOOK YOU AWAY
NO IT'S NOT THE SAME
BUT ILL COME SEE YOU IF I'M IN L.A.
I found out in a similar way
It must've been 2 O'Clock that day
I had 5 missed calls from Tom
I knew that something must've been wrong
Then he told me that you were gone

**S.A.**
You don't think about the consequences when you're acting out
You hurt anyone you let close to you cause you're the only one you care about.
And the things you say, they will carry weight.  And for the things you do, one day you'll surely pay.
CAUSE YOU'RE A SELFISH ASSHOLE
I DON'T THINK YOU'LL EVER CHANGE
OBSESSED WITH ATTENTION
GOT THAT PLEASED LOOK ON YOUR FACE
YOU'RE A SELFISH ASSHOLE
I DON'T SEE THAT LETTING UP
PITIED BY YOUR FAMILY
AND YOUR FRIENDS THINK THAT YOU SUCK
Can you not see?
The asshole is me!
CAUSE I'M A SELFISH ASSHOLE
I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER CHANGE
OBSESSED WITH ATTENTION
GOT THAT PLEASED LOOK ON MY FACE
I'M A SELFISH ASSHOLE
I DON'T SEE THAT LETTING UP
PITIED BY MY FAMILY
AND MY FRIENDS THINK THAT I SUCK

**Bossed Around**
It's been so long since our last conversation when you & I let out or aggravations.
I'm questioning your motivation for cutting off communication.
PURPOSELY PASSING ME BY
WON'T TALK TO ME EVEN IF I TRY
YOU WROTE ME OFF IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
I only offered you my advice.  Maybe teach to you some things Ive learned in life.
Above all, I really tried to be nice.  Now before I speak to you you say I should think twice.
I felt crossed, now I feel bossed around.

**Here We Go Again**
Here we go again.  Another go at it.
We used to live for this, now it just makes us sick.
Pissing off all our friends.  Cause they've heard this over & over again.
Dear Jimmy, It's Jimmy again.  Remember what I said, "Dont be an ass.  Conduct yourself with a little bit of class"
