Seven Nation Army
Length: 3:52
Release: 2003
Opening Lyrics:
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back
They’re gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I’m talking to myself at night
Because I can’t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
Says, “Leave it alone”
Every single one’s got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I’m gonna serve it to you
And that ain’t what you want to hear
But that’s what I’ll do
Fell In Love With a Girl
Length: 1:50
Release: 2001
Opening Lyrics:
I fell in love once and almost completely
She’s in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and says, “Are you alright?”
I said, “I must be fine ’cause my heart’s still beating”
“Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah”
“Bobby says it’s fine, he don’t consider it cheating now”
Mello-Roll for the flavor and the eyes for peepin’
Can’t keep away from the girl
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can’t think of anything to do, yeah
My left brain knows that all my love is fleeting
She’s just looking for something new, yeah
Said it once before but it bears repeating now
Icky Thump
Length: 4:14
Release: 2007
Opening Lyrics:
Who’d-a thunk?
Sittin’ drunk
On a wagon to Mexico
And my head
Got a bump
When I hit it on the radio
Lookin’ dead
Came to said,
“I need a bed” en español
I’m gonna sing around the collar
Well, I don’t need a microphone
In my throat
Grab my coat
And now it’s reckon
I was ready to go
We’re Going To Be Friends
Length: 2:20
Release: 2002
Opening Lyrics:
Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound
Here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There’s dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it’s time to learn
We clean up and now it’s time to learn
Blue Orchid
Length: 2:37
Release:2005
Opening Lyrics:
You got a reaction didn’t, you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Something better than nothing, it’s giving up
We all need to do something
Try and keep the truth from showing up
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How old are you now, anyway?
