Ben Zanotto Lyrics

There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sun light Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air

Sitting on the steps shit-head drunks
We had a crew and we called it The Skunx
Punk rockers, skinheads, misfits & misunderstood kids
Me and Ben, we spent years
By the palm trees drinking beers
Where the center of the universe was a street called Sharmon Palms

Youth was exhausted
Some took it harder than most
My best friend crumbled
And he withered away
I went back to the palm trees
The safest place that Ben could ever be
Mixed his ashes with the dirt
He was safe there

This is on the Let Me Go EP, which I can't seem to find ANYWHERE it seems. I think it was only released in Japan. :/

Cover art for Ben Zanotto lyrics by Rancid

very good song. I also enjoy the Na Na Na Na Na's

Cover art for Ben Zanotto lyrics by Rancid

Ben was my boyfriend for the past four years of his life. He was arrested for drug possession (I was clean) and this piece of shit lawyer wanna be bitch took him under her wings and scored him an inordinate amount of heroin which ultimately killed him in her home. Stupid bitch called me asking me what to do when she found him dead in her bathroom. My daughters middle name is a tribute to Ben.
