Testo The Joker - Everclear
Testo della canzone The Joker (Everclear), tratta dall'album Return To Santa Monica
It feels like 1974 in here (1974)
Is this on? (Some people call me the space cowboy)
For some reason, people call me the
Space cowboy (Some call me a gangster)
Some call me a gangster
They don't even know me
You know, some people call me Maurice
And I have no idea what that means
And I've never spoke with the pompitous of
Love, because that's not even a real word
They say I'm doing you, which is cool
But then they say I'm doing you wrong, which ain't too cool
And by the way, who are they, anyway?
They are the people from high school
That made all of our lives miserable
The football player, the head of the cheerleaders
Is now 42 years old, and she works at Hooters
Most likely to succeed? They were wrong
'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a quitter, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
Get my lovin' on the run
Look out
You are the finest thing that I ever did see
I gotta tell you, I love you so much, I almost love
You more than I love food, and I really love food
Check this out, when we're having sex sometimes
I can't even believe we're having sex
I feel like I'm in a science fiction movie
I'm not saying you look like Yoda or anything
But I'm saying it's out of this world
I'm a picker, I'm a quitter, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
Just don't wanna hurt no one
Uh, you know what?
I'm getting tired of people talking about me all the time
Sometimes they say I'm old, they say I'm getting weak
I am a middle-aged man with bleach blonde hair, a lot of tattoos
One nipple piercing because the cat took out the other one
I've got a baby, a kid in college
I got bills, I got all this stuff
Why do people even care?
I like to eat, I like to have sex
And I like to hang out with my friends
Just like any guy, it's a good time
You know what? You are the finest thing that I ever did see
I really do want your peaches, and I don't even know what peaches are
First time I heard this song in 1974, I was in sixth grade
I was rolling, I had a girlfriend that was three years older than me
She had boobs the size of my head
Life was pretty good
I could go get a Johnny's pastrami, and I could have sex
What more do you need?
I'm a picker, I'm a quitter, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
Gettin' my lovin' on the run
'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a quitter, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
Just don't wanna hurt no one
No, no, oh, no
