Trash Lyrics
Trash, go pick it up, don't take your life away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
If you don't know what I'm doing
What you know is,
Trash, go pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
Cause I don't know what I do
Up my nose,
Trash, go pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take them all away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
Cause I don't know if I do
I want to wipe it out here with you
And take a lover's sleep with you
I'm gonna talk alone with you
I'm gonna talk and be with you
But I just don't know if I do
I just don't know if I do
Trash, go pick it up, go put that knife away
Trash, go pick it up, don't give your life away
Trash, pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, pick it up, the doctor take them all away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Oh trash, wow, wow, my sweet baby, wow, wow
Oh, oh, trash, wow, wow, you're the one
Trash, go pick it up, go put that knife away
Trash, go pick it up, don't give your life away
Trash, pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, pick it up, the doctor take them all away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash!
This song is a transformation of a Mickey and Sylvia song called "Love is Strange". The lines "How do you call your lover boy?" and "Baby, my sweet baby, you're the one" are lifted from "love is strange". You should listen to it. Brilliant kitschy fifties pop. This is sort of like what the sex pistols did with Eddie Cochrane songs-punked up some trashy mass-culture kitsch and altered the song's meaning.
Not the original, think you're refering to their performance on Jools Holland where they mixed the original with Love is strange as a one off as far as I'm aware

i always thought this song was the ramones highlighting the importance of not chucking your kebab box in the street on your way home from the pub.
great song.
i think its about drug addiction too.
...this isn't the ramones...
he says something about "up his nose" doesn't he? am I the only person hearing this? am I hearing it wrong? help!
I think it's about drug addiction.
ramones? alrighty then...
"he says something about "up his nose" doesn't he? am I the only person hearing this? am I hearing it wrong? help!"
^^YES HE DOES!!! I HEARD THAT AND WAS LIKE "Wtf??? That's absolutely outrageous!" So no, you're not alone.
Oh yea, and I think this song is about someone taking out their garbage and in the process the lights went out, his life got taken away, and a doctor mugged him for his knife, and he did his girlfriend. I hope that doesn't happen when I take out the garbage tomorrow.....except maybe the last part...
Yess Johansen definitely says "'cause I don't know what I do up my nose," but regardless, great song about...trash...drugs, bullshit, whatever it's about!
New York Dolls --------------><>> Soooo Underated! Their contribution to the historical SHIFT of Music is beyond words.
The New York Dolls, Iggy & the Stooges, MC5 and of course the Velvet Underground WERE Punk Rock...
the Ramones, while instrumental themselves are merely an easy answer 4 the lazy...
Uh.... NYC...
Uh... CBGB...
Uh... the RAMONES!
............................................ oh well.... I love em all
BTW.. There's a ton of lyric shifting by Johansen.. Never repeating the EXACT same Chrous..
