Jabberjaw Lyrics
Isn't there enough to talk about?
I don't want what else is running out your mouth
Chewing my ears from my head
Will not keep me interested
I wanna put you on someone else
I wanna leave you all by yourself
If I look like I'm involved
Well I ain't listening at all
You never listen to a single thing I say
How in the hell did I get into this mess anyway?
Oh yeah I was
Shot in the hall with a glance
If looks could kill I would've never had a chance
And you can bury me where I lie
I'm so unhappy that I could die
Other people they're not looking
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no way I'm ever getting out
You're having fun at my expense
Oh yeah you're raking up
Sometimes I think that you
Wanna end up with no one to talk to
Other people they're not looking
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no way I'm ever getting out
They're acting like somebody near
Just passed away in here
So if I go
No
When I do
You'll end up
With no one to talk to
Ha
Ha
Ha!
I don't want what else is running out your mouth
Will not keep me interested
I wanna put you on someone else
I wanna leave you all by yourself
Well I ain't listening at all
How in the hell did I get into this mess anyway?
Oh yeah I was
Shot in the hall with a glance
If looks could kill I would've never had a chance
And you can bury me where I lie
I'm so unhappy that I could die
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no way I'm ever getting out
Oh yeah you're raking up
Sometimes I think that you
Wanna end up with no one to talk to
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no way I'm ever getting out
Just passed away in here
So if I go
No
When I do
You'll end up
With no one to talk to
Ha
Ha!

Alex Greenwald commented on this song in Nylon magazine....
"There are references to this one girl- that’s what ‘Jabberjaw’ is about. She wouldn’t stop complaining about how a guest spot on a TV show was going to ruin her and how she didn’t want to turn out like me- credibility ruined by being in a Gap commercial. It infuriated me. And I drove home livid and wrote an angry song about it."
This is one of my favorite tracks off of this cd. Its so close to home. I know exactly how Alex feels in this song. I love listening to his rage when he sings it and the spiteful "HA"s at the end make me laugh.
The music of this song is pure genius as well. The way it starts off and those first notes. It's sick.
