(Sorry to crosspost, but it's only 2 groups!)
Does anyone have the lyrics to "Ruby Soho" by Rancid. I'm really love
this song, but I can't remember the whole thing. It's been bugging me
for about 2 days, and most of my friends haven't even heard of the band.

RUBY SOHO

Echoes of reggae comin through my bedroom wall
Havin a party up next door but i'm sittin here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
All i got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all
Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
Once again he's leavin and she's there with a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye
Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin is gone
She's not the only one who knew there's somethin wrong
Little lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
Ruby's fading out she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye

That's how it is phonetically

I remember when that song had intelligible lyrics and was named "Bankrobber"
