Cover art for Bob lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is my complete translation of the 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 brew ‘Cause there will never be Another one just like you, no Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob 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 Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob I never see you I never see you I never see you Hanky late all thru the night Blackest flag at dawn A lust for life that kills itself Before it gets to strong That's wrong Please be lifelong ‘Cause there will never be Another one just like you, no Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob I never see you I never see you I never see you 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? Stealing everything in the store You know I want you to stay Remember the home And how they left us alone Friends fade away Well, my friend Bob’s insane today I know I am too The mental patients laugh and cry Nothing to do but rue Destroy the brew ‘Cause there will never be Another one just like you, no Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob
