Albert Hammond Jr.

Once I was told that a boy caught a cold
And he left to go home to get some sleep instead
Well, his baby stayed where she was
I go talk to her 'cause I wanna sleep with her

And you would only hold me
If I would never tell you it would end
And you would never have me
'Cause you were only wanting to be friends
And you would always hold out
Till he gave out

Now that he's back, I'm afraid
You'll go back to his bed where I know he'll try to keep you
Well, I'm well aware of what she does
She won't leave me because I sleep with her

And you would only hold me
If I would never tell you it would end
And you would never have me
'Cause you were only wanting to be friends
And you would always hold out
Till you gave out

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.
