Metarie Lyrics
Met a girl, introduced myself
I asked her to go with me and no one else
And she said, "I’d really like to see you everyday
But I’m afraid of what my friends might say
You need a bath and your clothes are wrong
You’re not my type I can tell we wouldn’t get along"
I just laughed what else could I do
Just then her friend chimed in, singinh "get a clue
Get a life, put it in your song"
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
I’d had enough couldn’t take it anymore
So I turned and I ran straight for the door
Bought some mags on my way home
For later on, you know, when I’m all alone
Bottle of wine and some cigarettes
Watch TV and go to bed
I know a guy, lives in Los Angeles
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous
And I'd have a life and put it in my song
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
I’d like to move out of this place
Change my name, maybe get a new face
Sleep all day stay up all night
And everybody I meet thinks I’m alright
I'd have a life and put it in your song
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
I asked her to go with me and no one else
And she said, "I’d really like to see you everyday
But I’m afraid of what my friends might say
You need a bath and your clothes are wrong
You’re not my type I can tell we wouldn’t get along"
I just laughed what else could I do
Just then her friend chimed in, singinh "get a clue
Get a life, put it in your song"
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
So I turned and I ran straight for the door
Bought some mags on my way home
For later on, you know, when I’m all alone
Bottle of wine and some cigarettes
Watch TV and go to bed
I know a guy, lives in Los Angeles
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous
And I'd have a life and put it in my song
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
Change my name, maybe get a new face
Sleep all day stay up all night
And everybody I meet thinks I’m alright
I'd have a life and put it in your song
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you

i love how smean and spiteful this song is. the opening few lines make it sound like your run of the mill love son :
Met a girl, introduced myself I asked her to go with me and no one else And she said, "I’d really like to see you everyday But I’m afraid of what my friends might say
and then the song just takes a really mean turn and poor old brendan basically gets berated and insulted by her and her friend.
girls can be mean sometimes
