Put me in a special school, `Cause I am such a fool, And I don`t need a single book to teach me how to read. Who needs stupid books? The alphabetey crooks, And I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams So turn off the T.V. `Cause that`s what others see And movies are as bad as eating chocolate ice cream They only sicken me Don`t let me play for bar I`ll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball I`m a troublemaker Never been a faker Doin` things my own way And never givin` up. I`m a troublemaker Not a doubletaker I don`t have the patience to keep it on the up. I picked up a guitar, What does this signify? I`m gonna play some heavy metal, Wishing you would die. You wanted arts and crafts? How`s this for arts and crafts? (That`s Right!)
I`m growin` out my hair I`m movin` up to Cherokee I`m gonna be a rockstar And you are gonna bear with me `Cause I can`t book a job, Like any other slob, Punchin` in and punchin` out and suckin` up to Bob Marryin` a bi-atch, Havin` Seven ki-ads, Givin` up and growin` old, And hopin` there`s a god. I`m a troublemaker Never been a faker Doin` things my own way And never givin` up
I`m a troublemaker Not a doubletaker I don`t have the patience to keep it on the up I`m gonna be star And people will crane necks To get a glimpse of me And see if I am havin` sex And studyin` my moves They try to understand Why I am so unlike The singers in the other bands I`m such a mystery As anyone can see There isn`t anybody else Exactly quite like me And when it`s party time Like 1999 I`ll party by myself because I`m such a special guy I`m a troublemaker Never been a faker Doin` things my own way And never givin` up.
I`m a troublemaker Not a doubletaker I don`t have the patience to keep it on the up. Keep it on the up (I`m a trouble maker) Keep it on the up (UP!) (I`m a trouble maker) Keep it on the up (I`m a trouble maker) Keep it on the up (UP!) (I`m a trouble maker) Never givin` up
Gordon Lightfoot Sang a song About a boat That sank in the lake At the break Of the morning A Cat named Stevens Ffound a faith He could believe in And Joan Baez I never listened Tto too much jazz But hippie songs Could be heard In our pad Eddie Rabbitt sang About how much He loved a rainy night Abba, Devo, Benatar Were there day John Lennon died Mr. Springsteen said He had a hungry heart Grover Washington Was happy on the day He topped the charts These are the songs
Chorus: These are my heart songs They never feel wrong And when I wake For goodness sake These are the songs I keep singin′
Quiet Riot got me started With the bangin′ on my head Iron Maiden, Judas Priest And Slayer Taught me how to shred I gotta admit though Sometimes I would listen To the radio Debbie Gibson Tell me that you think We′re all alone Michael Jackson′s In the mirror I′ve gotta have faith If I wanna see clear Never gonna give you up Wish me love Or wishing well It takes two to make A thing go right If the Fresh Prince Starts a fight Don′t you worry For too long ′Cause you know These are the songs
(Chorus)
Back in 1991 I wasn′t havin′ any fun ′Till my roommate said "Come on and put a brand new record on" Had a baby on it He was naked on it Then I heard the chords That broke the chains I had upon me Got together with my bros In some rehearsal studios Then we played Our first rock show And watched the fan base Start to grow Signed the deal that gave The dough to make A record of our own The song come On the radio Now people go This is the song
These are my heart songs They never feel wrong And when I wake For goodness sake These are the songs I keep singing
When I was younger I used to go and tip cows for fun, yeah Actually I didn`t do that `Cos I didn`t want the cow to be sad But some of my friends did They were all just a little bit wicked They`d blow up mail boxes With a baseball bat Go for direct hits I know how to win you can forget it They throw rotten eggs into traffic Toilet paper the fences Throw the tables, chairs, and the benches After practice Sometimes we would break into mad fits Causin` damage (Burnin` amplifiers and mic stands)
Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous
I`ve got a confession That I will make if you will listen Late in the nighttimes We`d drive around with hairspray and sharp knives Lookin` for road kills Lightin` things on fire for cheap thrills Stab the corpses And lick the knives like we`re evil forces Hockey games on frozen ponds No safety pads were ever put on Drivin` home on country roads Sixty-five in a twenty-five zone In my parents Tercel How did we survive so well Throw the keys and the wheel locked up I almost killed every one us
Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous There must be A guardian angel Or some kind of destiny we have `Cos we should have died A long time ago The way that we were livin` in our paths What will we say when our kids come to us And ask, with a smile on their face, Hey Dad, my friend`s got some new ninja swords! Is it cool if we slash up his place? hey---- Hey--- Hey--- Hey--- (Is it cool if we slash up his place?)
And get dangerous Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!) Everybody get dangerous Everybody get dangerous
I can watch for you girl from the back of my car I feel you and show at the place that you are Groceries spilling up out of your bag Thinking you'll end up a penniless hag But I see the girl that you are deep inside Won't you allow me to give you a ride I can console you and give you a kiss Show you that you can do better than this
Angel girl in a cold dark world I'm gonna be your man Angel girl in a cold dark world I'll make you understand
I know you're thinking I'm trying to score But deep in your heart, you know that I'm more Than a canderous scoundrel, now that I've found you I don't want to lose you, how can I prove You know that I am sincere, you don't need to fear I'm not like the others, I'll be like a brother I will protect you, never disrespect you But if you need lovin', I'll be here to sex you
Angel girl in a cold dark world I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be there) Angel girl in a cold dark world I'll make you understand
It might take a while to get with the style Of life at the end of the Miracle Mile But you're gonna love the rising above All the trash that is sweeping you under the rug
I'm gonna be there
Angel girl in a cold dark world I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be there) Angel girl in a cold dark world I'll make you understand (I'm gonna be there) Angel girl, angel girl I'm gonna be your man (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Angel girl, angel girl I'll make you understand (ooooh)
It′s not my destiny to be the one that you will lay with So many reasons why I have to go but want to stay here Sometimes I want a taste but then I don′t know what I′m saying You are the angel and I am the one who is praying There is another love that I would rather be obeying I see the ecstasy and already I′m anticipating I feel a deeper peace and that deeper peace is penetrating I′ve got the magic in me, I am complete is what I′m saying I′m flying up so high, my purple majesty displaying I′ve reached a higher place that noone else can make a claim in I′ll take you there my friend I′m reaching out my hand, so take it We are the angels, and we are the ones that are praying Peace, shalom, peace, shalom Peace, peace Peace, shalom, peace, shalom Peace, peace
'버디 홀리' weezer 형님들이 컴백하신다.
신보는 이른바 '레드 앨범'이라 불리고 있다는데,
이런식으로 불리는 앨범들이 명반으로 남았음을 상기해 보면(예를 들면 메탈리카의 블랙앨범?),
나름 알짜로 내공을 모은 앨범임에 틀림 없다.
꼭 구입하리라 생각 중이다.
그런데 말이지.
이들의 신보에 대해 인터넷 검색하던 중에 재미있는 사실을 하나 알게 되었다.
