The Intelligence is a lo-fi post-punk rock band from Seattle, founded by Lars Finberg, drummer of the A Frames.
The Intelligence was formed by Lars Finberg. Finberg played since the late '90s in other bands with vocalist/guitarist Erin Sullivan, and bassist Min Yee (the Dipers, Unnatural Helpers).
A-Frames and the Intelligence started in 1999. Both acts released singles on Dragnet Records, the indie label Finberg runs with A-Frames members Erin Sullivan and Min Yee.
In 2000, Dragnet released the first A-Frames single, recorded by Chris Woodhouse. S-S Records (founded by Scott Soriano & Sakura Saunders) released the band's next single, Plastica, in early 2001. By that fall, the A-Frames had enough material ready for their first, self-titled album, which was co-released by Dragnet and S-S in spring 2002 and produced by Woodhouse & Soriano. They recorded their second album, A-Frames 2, that fall, and released it via S-S the following spring. Later in 2003, the band recorded initial sessions for its third full-length. Two more 7"s were to follow on S-S ("Complications" and "Police 1000") and Royal ("Crutches"). Two years after AF2, the A-Frames moved to Sub Pop, which released Black Forest (recorded with Woodhouse & Soriano) in early 2005.
Every now and then - I wake up
In different rooms
Light a cigarette, strawberry
tea and sing the blues
Somehow I tend to leave behind
the tears and the truths
and just forget- that I
can't get over you
Every now and then it just all
remains the same
We try to move ahead but get held back
in the game, somehow now I'm livin'
in the past
I'm still with you, please don't forget
'Cause this ain't over yet
I'll be here changin' the moods
I'll straighten out my head'n all the foolish things I do
And I'll be here changin' the moods - yeah
Only 'cause I need the time, so I can get back to you
I'll be changin' the moods
Every now and then I seen to do nothing but wrong
I blame it on my pride yet that as such, is almost gone
Every day there's choices to be made
And memories are lingering, the future seems to fade
Somehow now I'm livin' in the past
I'm still with you, please don't forget
'Cause this ain't over yet
He picks me up in his car at night
tells me I'm pretty and that he likes
the way he feels by my side
he don't know me
and sometimes when he looks at me
he catches something fast and something fierce
a restless hunger deep inside
there are some things you just can't hide
I'll never be the kind of girl
who'll wals or talk or act like I should
Do what I've gotta in a man's world
I'm a little too rough - but its too late to be good
Pink and lace and my heels are high
My mother says I'll get in trouble some night
But this town don't scare me, I handle it heroically
If they think I've got a problem, well the world's at fault
Miss Right is something for role models
Where do you find a self image
I can be soft, can have a hard edge
Let them say that I'm, I'm just too wild to tame
Hey - how are you now
Thought I'd call you up to
say I'm sorry
'Cause I - I miss you so
And though it's over you're
still all I'm thinking of...
so here I'm standing all alone
I just can't make it on my own
So please take me home
I just don't know what to do
Yeah, please take me home
'Cause I can't get over you
So you just don't know
If we ever should get back together
'Cause I - I can't let go
And I'll do anything to work
this out somehow
Well here I'm walkin' in a
minor mode
Lonely down this
long and winding road
so if you ever change your mind
Please just let me know
These times are not the best
And yet these times are all we have to share
So when you feel you can't escape the madness
I will make it easier to bear
Here's a message I am sending
Hope you read me loud and clear
I'll be here to hold you
Whe your nights get lonely
I'll be here to hold you
And love you for the rest of my life
When dreams seem far away
Do yesterdays keep haunting you
Do they bring you down
Well like can seem unfair
When no one seems to care about you
But darling look around
I am standing right beside you
Look with your heart you'll see
Just like the stars shine in the dark of night
They've been burning for a million years
I will be your bright star
Your guiding light
I will always be here
I won't say I'm sorry
I don't apologize
Can't say I regret it
I'm not tellin' lies
He meant nothing to me
Just a physical thing
But its all over now
Stop worrying
I know it's no consolation
But I sear it's true
When I make love to him
I was thinking of you
I can't understand you're jealous
But he didn't touch my heart
No - he wasn't better
Not even in the good parts
I love your sweetness
But I'm not satisfied
So I went lookin' for somthing to fill
I close my eyes - and feel my heart beat
Why should I try - deny what I need
If you come walkin' through this door
What am I supposed to say or do
With every look I love
you more
So don't you make my
brown eyes blue
What is love? Without you
You're on my mind - you
are the only one
Give me a sign - do
you feel lonely
If you cam walking through this door
What am I supposed to say or do
With every look I love you more
so don't you make my brown eyes blue
