I have Fears

I want to help you
But I don't know how
I want to soothe you
But I can't speak out

I have many fears
About rejection
I have many memories
Of pain

I have always been
A little shy

So I'll turn and look
The other way
Other way
Other way

I will turn and look
The other way

I want to hold you
But I am afraid
I want to touch you
But I'm not that way

I have many doubts
About my motives
I have many fears
About my greed

I have always hurt
The one that I love

So I'll turn and look
The other way
Other way
Other way

I will turn and look
The other way


I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired of having sex
So tired
I'm spread so thin
I don't know who I am
Monday night I'm makin' Jen
Tuesday night I'm makin' Lyn
Wednesday night I'm makin' Catherine
Oh, why can't I be makin' Love come true?

-Weezer

Since Pinkerton came out I have been a bit sad that the Blue Album was so popular. Weezer is such a great band and they are only made better by the fact that they aren’t rock stars.

One of the best things that I like about most really good music is that it is inaccessible to the dabbler. It is so complex, or so simple that those seeking cheep titillation pass it by for a strong back beat and explicit lyrics.

The best thing about these lyrics is that they eschew the normal mode. They fight rebellion. There is no violence against the women in the songs; what’s more there is no violence against society. They see that the way toward happiness that we have all been taught by all other rock personalities lead to all other rock personalities. I doubt I will ever hear of a member of their band dead from drowning in their own vomit or fifty years old acting like they’re 18 and happy
