Truckdrivin' Neighbors Downstairs (Yellow Sweat) Lyrics
Neighbor 1: Come on, motherfucker. Put your clothes on, come on. Asshole!
Neighbor 2: You lousy puke!
Neighbor 3: Fuck you!
Neighbor 2: Why don't you call your mommy?
Neighbor 3: You're a fucking drunk.
Neighbor 2: Yeah, I'm a fucking drunk...
Neighbor 1: Come on, motherfucker.
Neighbor 2: ...but you're a lousy lowlife who can't do nothin' for himself.
acid casualty with a reposessed car
vietnam vet playin' air guitar
it's just the shit-kickin', speed-takin'
truck-drivin' neighbours downstairs
yeah...yeah
whiskey-stained buck-toothed backwoods creep
grizzly bear motherfucker never goes to sleep
[chorus]
oh, yeah...yeah
belly floppin' naked in a pool of yellow sweat
screamin' jackass with a wet cigarette
[chorus]
oh
oh, my goodness
oh... [etc.]
mmm... [etc.]
psychotic breakdown double-edged axe
growin' hair like a shag rug on his greasy back
[chorus]
oh my goodness
oh my goodness
oh, yeah
come on, honey, feel the grease
grease, grease
come on, honey, feel the grease
oh, my goodness
come on, honey, feel the grease
oh yeah
come on, lay it on me
bring it down one more time
come on, honey...
Neighbor 2: You lousy puke!
Neighbor 3: Fuck you!
Neighbor 2: Why don't you call your mommy?
Neighbor 3: You're a fucking drunk.
Neighbor 2: Yeah, I'm a fucking drunk...

that's really cool, thats an actual recording, I didn't know that. Yeah, that "oh my goodness" stuff is classic, cracks me the F up... I feel bad playing this song at work b/c I work at a trucking company, LOL
I swear lived above these guys once
"oh my goodness" fits in perfectly, and it's in Beercan also. Mellow Gold is a great album.
I agree, Subterranean... this is a wonderful song, and, like much of Beck's writing, based on true life. The bit at the start is an actual recording of the lowlifes next to whom he was living...
When he screams, he sounds like Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin.
lmao dislocated, ya this is prolly my second fav song off of mellow gold, maybe third, i also liked pay no mind, and whiskeyclone 97
as good as this song is, it makes me sad. Seeing as how are society places a strong emphasis on possessions and things in general, these are stereotypical of the folk we entrust our stuff with. also, they make highways and interstates REAL fun.
@onefierytongue666 ha ha it’s fun for THEM. I mean, what’s more boring than DRIVING?!?

Fuckin puritans in the USA can’t just allow a body to do his work however he wishes. Before lawsuits and “safety” became the law, I may have actually gone into trucking, had I been able to score speed anytime I wanted.

This song is hilarious.
I would have to guess that he was living in a shitty apartment somewhere. I lived in a similar shitty apartment. We had two shootings, a beating, and an incident with pipebombs, being placed on top of my apartment but some stupid meth-heads.. they remind me of the neighbors that were screaming at each other. As for this song, even after those experiences I still laugh at it..
I am not quite sure where a couple of you are coming from, with your ideas.. but LMAO.
Anybody notice, it may be transposed, I’m not sure, but the tune sounds a LOT like ‘Tales Of Brave Ulysses’. I’m guessing Beck has heard a lot of Cream.
