Getting Over It
recorded early 1998 by chris fasulo mastered by steve carnial
robg - vocals/guitar, steve - drums, matt campbell - bass
this was the first recording to feature matt campbell on bass, and also the bands first official CD release. There were 2 inner sleeves at one point for this release. After the completion of this EP, Pretty Polly recruited guitarist James Barbella (ex-soulsick) as a second guitarist. He played 3 shows with the band before time constraints kept him from carrying on with the band. Although he didn't play on Getting Over It, he was credited in the original pressing. Future pressings featured a computerized animation of a fly, which was once used for the intro to this site. (and which still can be seen in the Somewhere Between Then & Now trailer.)


They

Is it wrong to wish someone dead?
I can't escape the thought that's in my head.
I know it's wrong, but it makes me smile.
And all in all, i think it's been such a while.
Why don't they notice me? Why don't they let things be?
Why don't they understand? They'll never understand.
I find it so unfair. It's just too much to bear.
It makes me sit home & cry. It makes me want to die...

They think you're a saint but i know just where you're from.
I can't believe in all the things that you've done.
I've never met someone who could be this cold.
Who won't hesitate to leave you here all alone.
Why don't they notice me? Why don't they let things be?
Why don't they understand? They'll never understand.
I find it so unfair. It's just too much to bear.
It makes me sit home and cry. It makes me want to
die...

Why don't they notice me?
Why don't you notice me?
You never noticed.
You never even gave me a chance.
One fine day
you'll all be sorry.
One fine day
you'll
all
be
sorry...


In Debt
(mp3)
Thru everything and everyone
you want much more than you'd take back.
Thru everything and everyone
you know exactly what you lack.
Look into these eyes
and suffer like you always do.
Look into these eyes
and suffer 'cause you deserve to...
Because of you it's in my head
and it's from everything you've said.
Because of everything you've said
now i feel so much in debt.
Now i feel so much in debt
and it's from everything you've said.
Because of everything you've said
it's been messing with my head...

No Difference

How i loved you
it never makes a difference
How i hate you
and still it makes no difference
How i loved you
it never made a difference
and though i contimplate too much
it makes no difference
and how i tried to heal you up
i tried to make sense
and true, i'm hurting inside still
i'll bear you no sound
you make me feel the need to kill
all those who would bring me so down.

How i loved you
it never made a difference
How i hate you
and still it makes no difference
How i loved you
it never made a difference
and how i think about you still
it makes me so sick
to think i ever needed you
i don't know what to think
and true, i'm hurting inside still
i'd bear you no sound
'cause you make me feel the need to kill
all those who would bring me so down.
you bring me so down...
'cause you lie to everyone
and you hurt everyone
and it makes no difference
but it's starting to make such sense.
it makes perfect sense...


Because You Were Lonely

You were never mine
in your eyes
all because you don't believe in compromise
Everything that came straight from the start
with or without just fall apart...
and you apologize with no sympathy
you're so insincere, you never cared about me.
and you apologize with no sympathy
you don't even care to see how
you drove me crazy...
Because you were lonely
You needed me
Because you were lonely
it gave you the right to use me...
Nothings ever enough
so i give you more.
after all, you're the one who feels like a whore.
And i suppose that you might not ever know
How much that you hurt me
how much you owe
And everything that you touch, you say it turns to shit
you dragged me out of a hole, and this i must admit
but i can't understand why this could never last
it hurts me so much to know, it's just part of your past...
Because you were lonely
you needed me
Because you were lonely
it gave you the right to use me...
I think of changes in my life
which involve everything
and how i'll never feel the same
no matter what you think
And yet again i find myself
in desperate need of help
but you just pushed me far away
to think about yourself...
Because you were lonely
You needed me
Because you were lonely
it gave you the right to fucking use me...
now after everything,
you made me think it's my fault
but now i know for sure,
that it was never my fault.
and everything that you said
is any of it true?
i can't believe i was ever
in love
with
you...
