Waiting For The Bus

Violent Femmes

You got the mother and her kids
You got the guy and his date
We all get mad
We all get late
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standing on the corner, waiting for the bus

Say hey mr. driver man, don't be slow
Cause i got somewhere i gotta go
Say hey mr. driver man, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past

Let's call the mayor, let's complain
Looks like the city's done it to us again
Tied up in traffic, what do you know
The damn city bus, it moves so slow

Say hey mr. driver man, don't be slow
Cause i got somewhere i gotta go
Say hey mr. driver man, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past

*talking, instrumental*

    It is we all get late. Honestly, who gets laid while they are waiting for the bus?

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
