Well I walked outside into a sunny day
Called some friends to back my play
Went downtown to taste a few
Then over to the coast
To see what kind of trouble we could get into
What trouble we could get into (3x)

In sweet home San Diego

Now over to p.b. the tanning ladies
San Diego girls they drive me crazy
Hooked up on a number or two
I'll call 'em later
To see what kind of trouble we could get into
What trouble we could get into (3x)

Now all of the bad times
Get 'em outta here
To the bum with the cheap wine
Get 'em outta here
To the perps of the hate crimes
Get 'em outta here
Because the owner of a calm hand he is the real man
Punks on the get low
Get 'em outta here
To the fools with their fake gold
Get 'em outta here
To the San Diego po po
Get 'em outta here (2x)

Now I called up zing to hit some spots
Bought a couple of beers to chase the shots
Pacers, platinum until two
Then over to the vu to see what kind of trouble we can get into
What trouble we could get into (3x)

To the nines in the front row
Get 'em outta here
To the swollen tongue coke ho
Get 'em outta here
To the watered down drinks low
Get 'em outta here

Because unless it is a stiff trip
You get no tip
Filly in the peep booth
Get 'em outta here
You got the tweeker with the one tooth
Get 'em outta here
Say poppa on the eighty proof
Get 'em outta here (2x)

Now back home to find my bed
I gotta cool buzz chillin' inside my head
But just before the sun breaks through
I choke a little laugh and think about
The trouble that we get into (4x)
To the busta with the hippy crack
Get 'em outta here
To the gold chain hair backs
Get 'em outta here
To the locs with the swag sacks
Get 'em outta here
Cause unless you got the kind nugs
You get no love
Wannabe pornstars
Get 'em outta here
To the toughs that are so hard
Get 'em outta here
Granny in her sports car
Get 'em outta here (2x)

To the label with the crook deals
Get 'em outta here
To the bands that play with no feel
Get 'em outta here
To the sailor in the high heels
Get 'em outta here
Got the stuffin' that bottleneck
Talk about shipwreck
Itchy faced crackheads
Get 'em outta here
You got the flatulating fat chicks
Get 'em outta here
You got to blast all hypocrites
Get 'em outta here (2x)

    i havent heard much other "sprung monkey" songs, but this one just creates such a laid back feel, like a summer song, one you would listen to during the hotter summer months, just lying back relaxing.

    Now all of the bad times Get 'em outta here

    nothing should be bad, lets just chill out and relax, everything in life is good, so dont worry about the bad times.

    I saw Sprung Monkey live a couple of weeks ago, and before they played this song Steve said that it was written about all the meth addicts in san diego, who he thought were f*cking up the place.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
