I heard a song on the radio the other day that I really like. They didn't say the name of the song or artist. So, I'm going to post what I can remember and see if any of you know it. It's sort of a pop/punk anthem song. I'll probably butcher the lines, but here goes.
I'm not sick, but I'm not well, cause I'm in hell..... This line is kind of chorusy (is that a word?)
Cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, God Damn You or something like that....
Any ideas?
Harvey Danger, "Flagpole Sitta"
i had visions, i was in them
i was looking into the mirror
to see a little bit clearer
rottenness and evil in me
fingertips have memories
mine can't forget the curves of your body
and when i feel a bit naughty
i run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
been around the world and found
that only stupid people are breeding
the cretins cloning and feeding
and i don't even own a tv
put me in the hospital for nerves
and then they had to commit me
you told them all i was crazy
they cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, god damn you
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well
i wanna publish zines
and rage against machines
i wanna pierce my tongue
it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
the trivial sublime
i'd like to turn off time
and kill my mind
you kill my mind
paranoia paranoia
everybody's coming to get me
just say you never met me
i'm going underground with the moles
hear the voices in my head
i swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
but if you're bored then you're boring
the agony and the irony, they're killing me
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well
HEH! Thats it! I knew you would know it Sarge. I freaking Love that song! The lyrics are incredible. Do they have anything else like that? Is it worth getting the whole album?
I have no idea on both questions. I actually remembered the song and did a google search for the lyrics and the band. It is a cool song though. If you dig around some you might be able to sample some mp3's of their other stuff.
Awesome! Thanks for the help.
I played that song on my old show in college. I think the album came out in 98. It's good, if you like that one you'll probably like about half the album. You can almost certainly find it used somewhere or buy it for cheap.
Sarge beat me to the post, I knew what it was as soon as I read it.
Sarge, you practicing l33t speak again. 😛
Thanks for the info Breaky. I will check out the rest of the album.
The forums is about the only place I get to use my l33t speak, certainly not in the game most days.
