Songwriter: Doug Hopkins

Producer: John Hampton Gin Blossoms

Well, is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by
When you're only doing 60 through this oh so vacant night
But it's lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side

Twelfth night, we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on when the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars

Twelfth night, we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

It seems so distant
But still only half the night away
Where notions between your questions come too
Is it any wonder where
The pieces of the night have been

Twelfth night, we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
