Albert Hammond Jr.

Released: October 9, 2006

I wonder, wandering all around
This big place I live
She was scared to go outside
Where it once felt so nice
To me

Picked up your smoke, then you drag a little
I wanna choke, so you won't belittle
Everyone knows that you'll do it
Over and over and over and over again

You're pretty, won't you come play with me?
This time I'll be nice
You can't trust what I say to you
I know they're all lies
Do you?

And if you ever had to
I would be going strong
What in the world was happening?
Dear, can I be wrong?

Picked up your smoke, then you drag a little
I wanna choke, so you won't belittle
Everyone knows that you'll do it
Over and over and over and over again

Though best known as a guitarist and keyboardist for The Strokes, Hammond has also been performing periodic solo work since his 2006 debut album Yours To Keep.

Still a member of The Strokes despite the controversy surrounding and following their 2013 album Comedown Machine, Hammond began to gain more traction upon releasing his 2013 AHJ – EP under Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas‘ Cult Records Label.

Though still an official part of his bandmate’s label, he released his 2015 album Momentary Masters through Vagrant Records.
