Pump Up the Valium Lyrics
One time weekly rate
12 by 12 foot room
Strapped down to the bed
Now pump up the valium
My mind is wide asleep
My conscience deep awake
The promises I keep
Are not the ones I make
I count the constant causes
I lost count of regrets
A surplus of good intentions
Don't provide me with content
All I want is just a little content
One time monthly rate
still no breathing room
Pressure's building up
So pump up the valium
I choose the beaten path
I've been to where it leads
Why I keep coming back
A mystery to me
I found what I've been seeking
It's too late for me to care
My aspiration's leaking
From a hole I can't repair
Maybe I just don't want it repaired
This is one of the best NOFx songs! "A surplus of good intentions don't provide me with content all I want is a little content." WOW!
I agree.One of the best.This one and"release the hostages".
its "the promises i keep" not "the promises i deep"
this dude forgot the verses that Eric Melvin sings they are: " one time weekly rate 12 by 12 foot room strapped down to the bed now pump up the valium." and: "one time monthly rate still no breathing room pressure's building up so pump up the valium." and one last thing this song is called Pump Up The Valium not Pump Up The Valuum. and its about a trademark drug that is suposed to relax you and gets you wasted if you take too much.
i love this song. i got it on a punk o rama cd, and every second of is awesome!
L.O.S.E.R, the spelling that nofx uses 'valuum' is how its spelled on the cd because they cant use the correct spelling 'valium' due to copyright laws or some crap like that
the SONG title is spelled Valium, but the ALBUM title is spelled Valuum. the song is not on the album of the same title because nofx is just cool like that.
nevertheless it still rocks
yeah the song is spelled Pump Up the Valium, the album is Valuum to avoid copyrights
its spelt valuum because of some copyright law, read the CD packet on "45 or 46 songs that werent good enough...."
