lyrics
I'm in love with you
I see you at the crosswalk every morning
Oh, why am I so blue
Maybe because you never see me
Stop and go
Stop and go
Your hand goes up and I feel the excitement, oh
Stop and go, I stop and go
Your hand goes down and I know that it's right for me
Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh
When my day is done
I’m on the road to you again
I just can't control
This feeling inside when you come into view, oh oh
Stop and go
Stop and go
Your hand goes up and I feel the excitement
Stop and go
Stop and go
Your hand goes down and I know that it's right for me
Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh, Whoa, oh
At night I dream that you're crossing with me
Your hand goes up and then down just for me
Stop and go
Stop and go
Your hand goes up and I feel the excitement
Stop and go, stop and go
Your hand goes down and I know that it's right for me

I bought the vinyl LP shortly after "Let's Go!" came out. "The Reducers" sounds better to me now than it did then. It includes Reducers classics such as "Better Homes and Gardens" and "Out of Step." This was the best punk band I ever heard. It is wonderful to be hearing "The Reducers" again. alanlewis
Long-running underground rocker Brian Vanderwerf is the heart and soul of these gritty songs that capture the scruffy spirit of the ’70s. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2022
