Screwdriver Lyrics
Tuesday morning now
I gotta have somewhere to go
I call up tommy now
I call him on the telephone
Won't you wake up and come with me now
I'm going to the pawn and loan
Walking down thirty three
Walking on thirty o
Well what am i supposed to think
I drop a nickel in the sink
I love people like a brother now
But i'm not gonna be their mother now
What if someone walked up to me
And like an apple cut right through me
I'm not just gonna stand there grinnin
I'm not the one who's sinnin
Screwdriver
Now that you have heard my story now
I've got a little ending to it now
Whenever you go out alone
Take a little dog a bone
Think about your little sister
Then you got to drive it home
With a screwdriver
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I gotta have somewhere to go
I call up tommy now
I call him on the telephone
Won't you wake up and come with me now
I'm going to the pawn and loan
Walking down thirty three
Walking on thirty o
I drop a nickel in the sink
I love people like a brother now
But i'm not gonna be their mother now
What if someone walked up to me
And like an apple cut right through me
I'm not just gonna stand there grinnin
I'm not the one who's sinnin
I've got a little ending to it now
Whenever you go out alone
Take a little dog a bone
Think about your little sister
Then you got to drive it home
With a screwdriver
I got a little feeling goin' now

jack white said this song was about when he got threatened on the street.
this song rocks.
There's a line missing, in the end of the 3rd verse..
And like an apple cut right through me
Booya, this song is sweet. He breaks it down old school style with the guitar in this song. If I could play the guitar like that I'd do crack (or so my friend says).
so my uncle is friends with jack...i think hes the tommy that he calls
why isn't this song a huge hit???
Jet stole this riff. Kidding. Incredible riff though.
it's really a fun and simple riff to play, and it ROCKS!
but about the song....i dont know, maybe it's just my perverted mind, but does anyone else find something wrong with the line, "Then think about your little sister, then you got to drive it home..."?
i'll leave it at that
I just thought 'thinking about your little sister', was thinking about this character has to either kill or be killed.. (or else his little sister would grow up without her big brother)

Could you explain yourself a lil' better, Weezday? 'coz I don't speak english very well so I don't understand the possible double sense of that line...
i thought about that once too, about drivin it home and stuff but i read on answers.com that its about jack when he saw someone get threatened on the subway
