Punk Music
Blink 182
Tom DeLonge - Guitar, Vocals | Mark Hoppus - Bass, Vocals | Travis Barker - Drums
In the
life of every band, there comes a time to take stock; to reflect on goals set
and goals achieved; to offer a silent prayer of thanksgiving for the many blessings
so richly bestowed upon us.
For blink-182, this is not the time.
They're too busy touring the world, scarfing Sombrero’s burritos, farting
and rocking the planet till the ozone layer disintegrates. In the recent past,
blink-182 won a Teen Choice Award, a Blockbuster Music Award, and appeared on
the MTV Awards '00 where they performed "All The Small Things" and
won Best Group Video. In Europe they received an MTV Europe Award for Best New
Act. They performed on Saturday Night Live and the Tonight Show (twice), appeared
in American Pie and opened the Billboard Music Awards. The band also graced
the covers of Rolling Stone, Alternative Press (twice), Teen People, Teen and
CosmoGirl, just to name a few.
It's safe to say the blink-182 is now a worldwide phenomenon, with their records
reaping platinum and their concert tours packing ‘em in all across Europe,
Australia, Asia, and the Americas. And earlier this year, blink-182 ventured
back to the studio with producer Jerry Finn to record their fourth studio album,
Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (you should say the title out loud to fully appreciate
the subtle, sophisticated humor).
By every indication, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is turning out to be an
evolutionary hybrid for blink-182, as hooky as 1999's multi-platinum Enema of
the State, but with all the punk spirit of their MCA debut album Dude Ranch.
"This is the hardest, fastest record that we've done," says blink's
Tom DeLonge of the upcoming album. "It's way more punk-rock than our previous
records, and we're excited about it." Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (release
date 6/12/01) follows Enema of the State and last year's smash live album The
Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back).
The band's popularity has only increased since their formation in '93. They
began building momentum with a string of popular 7"s, and in 1994 they
released their first full-length album, Cheshire Cat, on Grilled Cheese (a division
of Cargo Music). In 1996, they signed a joint-venture record deal with Cargo
Music and MCA Records, with their first MCA release Dude Ranch (1997) setting
the stage for their current success. By the end of 1998, they had emerged as
one of the most popular pop-punk bands of the year – the album went platinum
in the U.S. and the year-end Billboard Airplay Monitor Report (BDS) stats indicated
that "Dammit (Growing Up)" from Dude Ranch earned top spins at many
key radio stations.
Blink-182 took a break from the road after Christmas '98 to begin pre-production
for Enema Of The State, recorded in the band's hometown of San Diego at Signature
Sound. Handling production duties was Jerry Finn, whose previous credits include
Green Day and Rancid. Enema Of The State shattered the standard set by Dude
Ranch. World-wide sales are now over seven million copies, not to mention the
fact that the CD perched high atop the upper-reaches of Billboard's Top 200
for over a year. The album's three singles, "What's My Age Again,"
"All The Small Things" and "Adam's Song" dominated MTV,
alternative, rock and Top-40 radio.
Their summer tour, where The Mark, Tom & Travis Show (The Enema Strikes
Back) was recorded, sold a third of a million tickets. The aforementioned album
was a 20-track collection of live versions of classic blink-182 hits produced
by Jerry Finn, and also contained never-before-released songs, a new studio
track, and all the hilarious potty-mouthed one liners a fan could want. In its
limited release, The Mark, Tom & Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back) sold
over 1.5 million copies worldwide. In other Blink-182 news, a massive U.S. summer
2001 tour is on the drawing boards, and a book about the band's early days,
written by Hoppus' younger sister, Anne, now carries a title, Tales From Beneath
Your Mom. It's scheduled to hit bookstores in mid-September.
Then there's the ever-expanding blink-182 mercantile empire, which stretches
from pole to pole, from sea to shining sea. First there's their own blink182.com
website for fans and curious onlookers. Travis's "Famous Stars and Straps"
is a successful retailer and website for clothes, belts and accessories. Mark
and Tom's "Loserkids.com" is an equally vibrant website for clothes,
skates, music, movies. But despite these ancillary success stories, Mark, Tom
and Travis never lose sight of what's most important for blink-182 and their
worldwide legions of fans: music and tasteless comedy at every opportunity.
Who knows what's next for the band? There's an old expression "You can't
turn chicken shit into chicken salad." But, in the case of blink-182, you
can really put chicken shit in someone's chicken salad.

Everything has fallen to
pieces
Earth is dying, help me Jesus
We need guidance, we've been misled
Young and hostile but not stupid
Corporate leaders, politicians
Kids can't vote, adults elect them
Laws that rule the school and workplace
Signs that cautions sixteen's unsafe
We really need to see this
through
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use
If we're fucked up, you're to blame
Let this train-wreck burn
more slowly
Kids are victims in this story
Drown the youth with useless warnings
Teenage rules, they're fucked and boring
We really need to see this
through
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use
If we're fucked up, you're to blame
Everything has fallen to
pieces
Everything has fallen to pieces
Everything has fallen to pieces
Everything has fallen to...
Josie
You're my source of most frustration
Forget when
I don't need expectations
Everything you wished came true
In the end we all blamed you
Even though, as the all know,
You weren't the only one
Why do you still keep it
around
When you know it brings me down,
I'm hating everything
And I know that you dated other guys
But I got to wonder why
You'd leave it out for me
Why am I wtill hanging
around
When I know you brings me down
I'm hating everything
And you are geting rides home in his car
You're making out in his front yard
I'm hating everything
Please don't remind me
Put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me
I wish that it would end
Am I am not fine
Last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine
Why can't we just pretend
And if we can have another
day
I've got so much left to say
I'd tell you everything
And I'll laugh when I think about the past
When I see you after class
You're hating everything
Please don't remind me
Put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me
I wish that it would end
Am I am not find
Last night I saw you onlone
Your screen name used to be mine
Why can't we just pretend
And she said, "I just forgot you
were there"
In the car I just can't
wait
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know
what to wear?
I'm just scared of what you think
You make me nervous so I really can't eat
Let's go
Don't wait
The nights almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever. Let's make this
last forever
When you smile, I melt
inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everybody in the room
Please don't look at me with those eyes
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I'm probably gonna miss
Let's go
Don't wait
The night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever. Let's make this
last forever
It's Christmas Eve nad
I've only wrapped
to fuckin' presents
It's Christmas Eve nad I've only wrapped
to fuckin' presents
And I hate, hate, hate your guts
I hate, hate, hate your guts
And I'll never talk to you again
Unless uyour mom will touch my cock
I'll never talk to you again
Ejaculate into a sock
I'll never talk to you again
I'll never talk to you again
It's Labor Day and my grandpa
just ate
seven fuckin' hot dogs
I's Labor Day and my grandpa just ate
seven fuckin' hot dogs
And he shit, shit, shit his pants
He's always fuckin' shitin his pants
I'll never talk to you again
Unless your dad will suck
me off
I'll never talk to you again
Unless your mom'll touch my cock
I'll never talk to you again
Ejaculate into a sock
I'll never talk to you again
I'll never talk to you again
Push it out
Fake a smile
Avert disaster just in time
I need a drink'Cause in a while worthless answers from
friends of mine
It's dumb to ask cool to ignore
Girls possess me but they're never mine
I made my entrance
Avoided hazards
Checked my engine I fell behind
DaDa, Dada..
I fell behind
She makes me feel like
it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all
torn up inside
I'm always nervous on dys like this
like the prom
I get to scared to move 'cause
I'm a fuckin' boy
Remember when I was in
the grocery store
Now's my time
Lost the words, lost the nerve, lost the
girl, left the line
I would wish upon a star but that star, it
doesn't shine
So read my book, with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy
DaDa...
Who fell behind
She makes me feel like
it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all
torn up inside
I'm always nervous on dys like this
like the prom
I get to scared to move 'cause
I'm a fuckin' boy
DaDa, Dada...
She makes me feel like
it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all
torn up inside
I'm always nervous on dys like this
like the prom
I get to scared to move 'cause I'm still
just a stupid, worthless boy
Hanging out behind the
club
on the weedend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with
my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and
the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time that I saw
her...there.
She's getting kicked out
of school
because she's failing
I'm kind of nervous 'cause I think all her
friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and that made it
I swear.
Because I fell in love
with the girl
at the rock show
She said 'what' and I told her that I
didn't know
She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in
through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go
out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the
rock show
When we said we were gonna
move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpos or direction
We don't owe anyone a fucking
explanation
I fell in love with the
girl at the rock show
She said 'what' and I told her that I
didn't know
She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in
through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call
She always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance
I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting
I fell in love with the
girl at the rock show
She said 'what' and I told her that I
didn't know
She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in
through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
I'll never forget tonight
It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all
I'm ripe with things to say
The words rot and fall away
What stupid poem could fix this home
I'd read it every day
So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years
now lost
It's not right
Their anger hurts my ears
Been running strong for senven years
rather than fix the problems, they never
solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them every day
We get along, so why can't they?
If this is what he wants and this is what
she wants
Then why is there so much pain?
So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, ywenty years
now lost
It's not right
Breathing deeply
Walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller Coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Leave me standing here
Act like I'm not around
The coast will probably never clear
Can I please go home now?
I had that dream about
you again
Where I wait outside
Until you let me in
And there I stayed
Lay beside me
And listen at the wall
We'll keep on lying
Until the summer comes
I had that dream about
you again
Where I wait outside
Until you let me in
And now I'm breathing deeply
Walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller Coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Goodnight, goodnight
On and on, reckless abandon
Seomething's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
I learned a lot today
not sure if I'll get laid and
Not sure if I'll fail or pass
Kissed every girl in class
Everybody would waste it all
To have a summer they could call
A memory that's full of fun
Fucked up when it's all done
On and on, reckless abandon
Seomething's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
And break the truth with more bad news.
We left a scar size extra large
Sip a drink of the alcohol
End up kneeling in bathroom stalls
Eyes are red and my movements slow
Too high, got vertigo
He took a shit in the bathroom
tub
And fed the dog the brownie drugs
Tried hard not to get caught
He fucked a chick in a parking lot
On and on, reckless abandon
Seomething's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
And break the truth with more bad news.
We left a scar size extra large
Break a window and bust
a wall
Making fun of your friend's mom
Turn the music up way too loud
Charge the pizza to the house
Everybody would waste it all
To have a summer that they
could call
Memory that's full of fun
Fucked up when it's all done
On and on, reckless abandon
Seomething's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
And break the truth with more bad news.
We left a scar size extra large
I never found out why you
left him
But this answer begs that question
too blind to see tomorrow
Too broke to beg or borrow
Young and stupid
Left wide open
Hearts are wasted
Lives are broken
One more point of contention
I need some intervention
Approached with vague intentions
Betray my short attention
Span the distance
Bridge the border
Beg forgiveness
Round the corner
Everytime I look for you
the sun
goes down
And I stumble with this whole thing
runs aground
I left another message, you are
never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down
down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door
More time apart will give
you
A few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through?
It always seemed too far to
Drive the point home
Send more letters
Pray tomorrow
Ends up better
Everytime I look for you
the sun
goes down
And I stumble with this whole thing
runs aground
I left another message, you are
never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down
down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door
I never did do anything that she asked
I never let what happened stay in the past
I never did quite understand what
she ment
In spite of everything
In spite of everything
Everytime I look for you
the sun
goes down
And I stumble with this whole thing
runs aground
I left another message, you are
never around
Everytime I look for you the sun
goes down
And I stumble with this whole thing
runs aground
I left another message, you are
never around
But everytime I look for you the sun
goes down
Mom and Dad they quite
don't
understand it
All the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do the girls want to pierce their nose
And walk around in torn pantyhose
oh yeah
I like the ones who say
they listen
to the punk rock
I like the kids who fight against how
they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's
fucked to care
Its cool when they piss people off with
what they wear, oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
KIitds will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Hate the jocks, the preps,
the
hippie-fuckin' scumbags
Heavy-metalers with their awful
pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditchin' school almost every single day,
oh yeah
So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in
Shut the fuck up she said
I'm going fucking def
Your always too loud
Everything's too loud
Now that all my friends
left
this place is fucking dead
I want to move out
When we can move out
The shit has got to stop
I'll run away
Get the fuck up she said
Your life is meaningless
It's going nowhere
You're going nowhere
You're just a fuck up she
said
I'll live alone instead
She said "You don't care"
I know I don't care
I'll never ask permission
from you
Fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I got too fucked up again
And passed out on the place
Tried to forget you
I can't forget you
No sleep on this flight
I'll think about the nights
We had to get through
How did we get through?
I'll never ask permission
from you
Fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I think it's time that I should leave
I'll never ask permission
from you
Fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'll run away
I think it's time for me
to leave
Oh no, it happened again
She's cool, she's hot, she's my friend
I'd drive for hours, it's so
You leave me nowhere
She's unstoppable
Unpredictable
I'm aso jaded, calculated
Wrong
Please take me me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had
Buy hope, hope that it
lasts
Give in, forget the past
Be strong when things fall apart
Honest, this breaks my heart
She's unstoppable
Unpredictable
I'm so jaded, calculated
Wrong
Please take me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had
Please take me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had
Why did we have to go date?
It's too easy to complicate
Be strong when things fall apart
Honest, this breaks my heart.
Please take me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had
I guess it's only the men
Who get fucked now and again
We take our chicks to the mall
We wait in parking stalls
And when we come home too late
She's pissed that she had to wait
And my excuse not to call
it never worked at all
Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up
She was stronger
All my friends say
"Please don't love her"
What did I gain?
Now I miss her soul
I used to hate the lipstick
It staind and tasted so sick
The pantyhose in the drawers
She threw on my guitars
She fuckin made a mistake
I thoughted I needed a break
The truth is I'm such a dick
it's broke and can't be fixed
Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up
She was stronger
All my friends say
"Please don't love her"
What did I gain?
Now I miss her soul
If you wanna call a heartache
Then should be glad those things
I miss her
If you want the pain to go away
Better suck up your pride admit
you lost her
Let her go
Move on
Let her go
Move on
Let her go
Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up
She was stronger
All my friends say
"Please don't love her"
What did I gain?
Now I miss her soul
Move on
Let her go
Move on
Let her go
Move on
Let her go

I'm sick of always hearing
All those sad songs on the radio
All day it is there to remind
An over sensitive guy that he's lost and alone, yeah
I hate our favorite restaurant,
Our favorite movie, our favorite show
We would stay up all through the night
We would laugh and get high, and never answer the phone
I can't forgive, can't

Can't give in, what went wrong?
Cause you said this was right
You fucked up my life
I'm sick of always hearing
Sappy love songs on the radio

And I can never escape when my heart it explodes

I hear the phone, it rings
so violently
Can't leave my room, can't breathe since she left me
I will admit, I hate those things I said
Girls always cry, guys will never admit they did
Hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on
Don't tell me that it's
over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hard for
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls get them in trouble
Because they are rarely honest
What's with the jokes,
all the routines they play
Screw with my head, now I cave in 'till they their way
Guys like to run, chicks like to yell, you see
Guys hate to fight, girls think it's therapy
Hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on
Don't tell me that it's

I'm not used to this temptation

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro
When you fucked grandpa
did he tell you that he loved you?
Did he hold you till the sun did rise
And did he look into your eyes
And ask you to fellate him
And stick a finger or two in his ass
He seems like a total asshole
Grandpa is a total fucking asshole
Who would ever want a dirty greasy finger in his ass?
He rubs his dick in broken glass
When you fucked grandpa
Did he kiss you soft and tender?
Did he tie your hands behind your head
And was it on your mother's bed?
And this is fucking stupid
man! I can't believe you'd have sex with Your own grandfather! I mean, you guys
are related! What's he gonna do, take
out his false teeth and just leave them on the side of your bed? Man, he'd like
to fuck you on the bottom, and grandma would come in and watch
and masturbate and cum all over the place and, this is stupid! I hate you all!
I'm not even going to have sex with my mom tonight! Man, this is
stupid! I hate you!
