blink-182 Band • Page 319

This makes total sense to be the first lead single. Go with something safe and catchy. Ride the hype. Get it in everyone’s head. They’re back, thank fucking god.

 

It’s funny that this is the lead single in 2022 and clearly gonna hit radio and there’s a lyric “she tried to pray it away so I fucked her in church” lol

 

Radio edit is "boinked"

 

not one of my favourite blink songs, but it's fun. it has my ideal use of Mark's vocals though to play off Tom's.

 

This will go over soooo well live

 

Does it replace Feeling This as the opener?

 

Not a chance

knowing them, they’ll replace “Stockholm Syndrome” with this song haha

 

I cannot possibly express how happy I am that this song isn’t basically just an AvA song with Mark singing back up vocals and harmonies.

 

Nothing does, or should.

 

I would gladly accept dumpweed.

 

Lyrics:

Verse #1

[Tom]
I ain't that cool,
A little fucked in the head.
They'll be hanging me quick,
When I'm back from the dead.
Get the rope.
Get the rope.
Get the rope.
Get the rope.

[Tom]
I'm a punk rock kid,
I came from hell with a curse.
She tried to pray it away,
So I fucked her in church.
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Yeah, don't you know?

Pre-chorus #1

[Tom]
They say,
"You're not safe here if I stay,
With a knife that sharp.”
No way.

Chorus

[Tom & Mark]
No way,
I leave the broken heartеd.
Oh no,
Look at the mess we startеd.
Oh no,
I leave the broken hearts this way.
Whatcha say?
Wanna play?

Verse #2

[Mark]
Yeah, don't be fooled,
I'm only letting you down.
They pursue me on foot,
But I hid in the crowd.
Like a ghost.
Like a ghost.
Like a ghost.
Like a ghost.

[Mark]
The seats of my car,
Are filled with cigarette burns.
I got a fire in my eye,
A little blood on my shirt.
Let's hit the road.
Hit the road.
Hit the road.
Hit the road.

Pre-chorus #2

[Mark]
I know,
There’s a special place in hell,
That friends and I know well.
There's a perfect place to go,
When it's time to lose control.

Chorus

[Tom & Mark]
No way,
I leave the broken hearted.
Oh no,
Look at the mess we started.
Oh no,
I leave the broken hearts this way.
Whatcha say?
Every day.
Wanna play?

Bridge

[Mark]
Oh no,
You can't save me.

Chorus

[Tom & Mark]
No way,
I leave the broken hearted.
Oh no,
Look at the mess we started.
Oh no,
I leave the broken hearts this way.
Whatcha say?
Every day.
Wanna play?

 

Bands can cap ticket prices, no? I’m pretty sure I’ve read somewhere that they’ve got the ability to shut this shit down if they wanted to.

But could be wrong, the article could have also been entirely made up in a dream of mine. Hard to say these days

 

I do not like this haha. It reminds me of like shitty new Green Day. Mark sounds good

 

Based on one song I've already awarded this album my prestigious "Better Than FOAM" prize

 

So essentially it is at worst the second shittiest album either band have put out then?

 

So it’s great? Agreed

 

This song is fun. I wish they had more pace again for sure, but it’s very, very catchy.

 

This would fit on California with the soaring chorus.

 

I love it - so catchy! Hope we get a lot of split vocal duties on the album.

 

This won’t go down as one of my favorite blink songs of all time, but it’s a fun track. Love the balance in the vocals. I’m just happy these guys are back and having fun.

 

That is currently the bar I have faith it'll clear the trilogy though

 

It’s too catchy, folks. Can’t stop playing it

 

just dropped here in Aus, hittin play

 

Song is solid but super safe. I want some more experimental blink on this new album.

 

vocal production is kinda... rough but I love this otherwise. chorus is stickyyy
