    Song Meaning
    Ever broken up with someone? Ever broken up with someone and then gone home to write a hate-filled, sneering, punk song about them? Well tha's exactly what Stuart and the Ave describes; a break up turned sour, when all you have left is bad memories and resentment.

    Stuart and the Ave is a real location in Berkeley CA, it is an intersection between Stuart Street and Telegraph Avenue.
    Lyrics
    Standing on the corner of
    Stuart and the Avenue
    Ripping up my transfer
    And a photograph of you
    You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existance
    As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance
    Destiny is dead
    In the hands of bad luck
    Before it might have made some sense
    But now it's all fucked up
    Seasons change as well as minds
    And I'm a two faced clown
    You're mommy's little nightmare
    Driving daddy's car around
    I'm beat down and half brain dead
    The long lost king of fools
    I may be dumb
    But I'm not stupid enough to stay with you
