Bob Lyrics

Well, my friend Bob's in jail today
His girlfriend is too
For stealing change for gasoline

Nothing to do but rue
Destroy the prude (???)
'Cause there will never be another one just like you, no

I met him on the boulevard, Hollywood and Vine
He said "you're gonna be a superstar"
I said "that’s fine, sublime"
He loved my crime

But there will never be another one just like you, no

I never see you
I never see you
I never see you

Hanking laid all thru the night
Blackest flag at dawn
A lust for life that kills itself before it gets too strong, that’s wrong
Please be life long

'Cause there will never be another one just like you, no

I never see you
I never see you
I never see you

Killing yourself, that would be an awesome oath (???)
This song is so far away (???)
Remember the home and now they left us alone (???)
Remember our friend

Stealing everything in the store
You know I want you to stay
Remember the home and now they left us alone (???)
Friends fade away…

Well, my friend Bob's insane today
I know I am too
A mental patient's laugh and cry

Nothing to do but rue
Destroy the prude (???)
'Cause there will never be another one just like you, no

My guess is that this song is about good friend of anthony and flea, bob forest. Anthony frequently talks about him in his biography "scar tissue"

Bob is one hell of a motherfucker! He helped save my life! but he is a bit of a crazy, wacky, badass, red haired, four eyed, nerdy spaz! Thanks Bob, for keeping me interested.

what?

Killing yourself I hear your voice on the phone It sounds so far away Remember the home and how they left us alone Remember our friend?

I think he is talking about Bob, Hillel and himself hanging out in that last line. This song reminds me of a friend of mine...I love it so much.

This song is definitely about Hillel Slovak. Sure Bob forest was in Scar Tissue but Anthony called Hillel Bob as a nickname and this song has lyrics like"there will never be another one like you" suggesting that the person he is talking about has passed away and has no replacement.

I agree with that,

In scar tissue, was it the death of hillel or cobain that he heard on the phone? i forget now..

Cobain.
