《Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues》歌词

[00:04:14] Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues - Todd Snider

[00:04:14] Hey hey my my

[00:04:14] Rock and roll will never die

[00:04:14] Hang your hair down in your eye

[00:04:14] You'll make a million dollars

[00:04:14] Well i was in this band goin' nowhere fast

[00:04:14] We sent out demos but everybody passed

[00:04:14] So one day we finally took the plunge

[00:04:14] Moved out to seattle to play some grunge

[00:04:14] Washington state that is

[00:04:14] Space needle

[00:04:14] Eddie vedder

[00:04:14] Mudhoney

[00:04:14] Now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts

[00:04:14] We turn our amps up until it hurts

[00:04:14] We've got bad attitudes and what's more

[00:04:14] When we play we stare straight down at the floor

[00:04:14] Wowee

[00:04:14] Pretty scary

[00:04:14] How pensive

[00:04:14] How totally alternative

[00:04:14] Now to fit in on the seattle scene

[00:04:14] You've gotta do somethin' they ain't never seen

[00:04:14] So thinkin' up a gimmick one day

[00:04:14] We decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note

[00:04:14] Under any circumstances

[00:04:14] Silence

[00:04:14] Music's original alternative

[00:04:14] Root's grunge

[00:04:14] Well we spread the word through the underground

[00:04:14] That we were the hottest new thing in town

[00:04:14] The record guy came out to see us one day

[00:04:14] And just like always we didn't play

[00:04:14] It knocked him out

[00:04:14] He said he loved our work

[00:04:14] He said he loved our work but he wasn't sure if he could sell a record

[00:04:14] With nothing on it

[00:04:14] I said tell 'em we're from seattle

[00:04:14] He advanced us two and a half million dollars

[00:04:14] Hey hey my my

[00:04:14] Rock and roll will never die

[00:04:14] Hang your hair down in your eye

[00:04:14] You'll make a million dollars

[00:04:14] Well they made us do a video but that wasn't tough

[00:04:14] 'Cuz we just filmed ourselves smashin' stuff

[00:04:14] It was kinda weird 'cuz there was no music

[00:04:14] But mtv said they'd love to use it

[00:04:14] The kids went wild the kids went nuts

[00:04:14] Rolling stone gave us a five-star review said we played with guts

[00:04:14] We're scorin' chicks takin' *****

[00:04:14] Then we got asked to play mtv unplugged

[00:04:14] You should have seen it

[00:04:14] We went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions of the

[00:04:14] Electrical songs we had refused to record in the first place

[00:04:14] Then we smashed our shit

[00:04:14] Well we blew 'em away at the grammy's show

[00:04:14] By refusing to play and refusing to go

[00:04:14] And then just when we thought fame would last forever

[00:04:14] Along come this band that wasn't even together

[00:04:14] Now that's alternative

[00:04:14] Now that's alternative to alternative

[00:04:14] I feel stupid

[00:04:14] And contagious

[00:04:14] Well our band got dropped and that ain't funny

[00:04:14] 'Cuz we're all hooked on ***** but we're outta money

[00:04:14] So the other day i called up the band

[00:04:14] I said boys i've taken all i can

[00:04:14] Shave off your goatees

[00:04:14] Pack the van

[00:04:14] We're goin' back to athens
