Biography:
The Aislers Set is an indie pop band that formed in San Francisco in 1997 after the break up of chief songwriter Amy Linton’s former band Henry's Dress. The Aislers Set's music is heavily influenced by C86-style British indie pop.
Their first record, Terrible Things Happen was released in 1998 receiving glowing reviews in CMJ, The Big Takeover, and numerous indiepop zines, earning enough of a following to generate a tour of Japan in April 1999.

[INTRO]
B E F#
F# B F#
A#m
I was darkened by the sin
E
Wasted hour closing in on a lovely day
Em B F#
I got up before the freewayhey-ayy
A#m
I got up and set my clock
River up the street
E
And down the block got faster and
Em
Wished I got the nerve to
B F#
Ask her what she thought
A#m
'bout why Portland skies are grey
E
Why'd you want to see it every day
Em
When you know there's kids starving
B F#
In Alaska for the sun
G#m
By the way, can I come?
[REPEAT INTRO]
B F# B F#
I swear I won't be a burden
A#m
Eight o'clock came cruel today
E
Can we just lie here instead of leaving?
Em
You and me and Kye had tea there in the kitchen
B F#
And I was cold
A#m
I got up and got my coat
E
Kissed you three times and winged it home
Em
With a smile wider than my arms
G#m
Could stretch in E minor. Don't go
[REPEAT INTRO]
I could know you better I know
And the photo booth memory's a ghost
Japanese stickers, a toast
To how I could kiss you every mile of the whole west coast
F# B
So Julie can I have a whiskey
F#
Because she got in a car and she never came home
B
Hello all my friends, can I have a whiskey
Because I won't drive far anyway
G#m
Not since I have to go home that way
F#
By the scene of the getawayheyay
B
Hey, Hey, Hey
F#
Hey, Hey, Hey
B
Geography and biology
F#
Just basically don't mesh for me
B
Hey, Hey, Hey
F#
Hey, Hey, Hey...
