The Rentals

The Rentals is an American rock band fronted by vocalist Matt Sharp, best known as the former bassist for Weezer. Sharp has been the only consistent member since the group's inception. The band is best known for their 1995 single "Friends of P." The Rentals released two albums, Return of the Rentals (1995) and Seven More Minutes (1999) on Maverick Records before quietly splitting in 1999 following a world tour. The group reformed in 2005 and have since released several EPs and a third full-length album, Lost in Alphaville, which was released August 26, 2014 on Polyvinyl Records. Due to the revolving nature of studio and live collaborators, determining who is actually an official member of the group at any one point is difficult.

Biography

Return of The Rentals and Seven More Minutes

The group is known for their quirky, Moog-driven melodies and a mix of male and female vocals. Their first single, "Friends of P.", from their debut album, Return of the Rentals, was a modern rock radio hit, peaking at number 7 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart and number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100. The accompanying music video was shot with antiquated equipment, on black and white film stock, with a total budget of less than $1,000. Upon its release, the video was added to MTV's playlist in early November 1995.

She Says It's Alright

by: The Rentals

Return to the city, lookin' for a friend, she shouldn't be too hard to find
There's only one or two places she could be, especially this time of night
I didn't tell her I'm in town or I'd be coming 'round, I'm steppin' into her work
She greets me casually, yeah hands me a drink,
I wait 'til six in the morning for her
She says it's alright
That cha haven't written or been here for a while (I've been here for a while)
Just grab your things and come on over
Stay with me at my house (stay with me)
She says it's alright, yeah
It's half past four, the afternoon, oh we wake up
There's no phones to disturb us, lazing around, isolated from all of the fuss
She smokes a couple hundred cigarettes and hands me the keys,
oh while she gets ready for work
Be back at seven in the morning to let her in, that's about when she returns
She says it's alright
That you don't speak the language, I know that you barely try
(I know you barely try)
I love The Smiths and my cigarettes, like you in my bed
But, I don't need you to get by (don't need you)
She says it's alright, yeah
I'm sure you wanted to forget about things for a while
As I see, how you see, how we see, let me see
She says it's alright
That you're going to the states and ya won't be back for awhile
(I won't be back for a while)
She says, it's alright with you, it's alright without you
Either way is just fine (either way you're not mine)
She says it's alright (it's alright, alright)
I don't expect to hear from you, but you're welcome back anytime
Unless I find a new friend, then this will have to end (it's alright)
We don't need no good-byes
She says it's alright
She says alright
It's alright
