I'd been asked for lyrics to Spits songs because I did some covers of their songs. None of the records have lyrics sheets but I'm pretty sure the lyrics I'm supplying here are relatively correct... what I could understand anyway.
Shitty World:
It's not the kind of world like they make in the moves
With sticky sweet smiles and pats on the back
It's more like work and take
The shit that they give you
Drink your money away
Or lose it at the track
(Chorus:)
Shitty world, ah ah oooh. (x2)
Shitty world, ahhhhhhh
Insects from the earth, it says in the bible
Mutants will rise to do what must be done
Big black rock that once was a building
Soon this shitty place will burn like the sun
(Chorus)
(Keyboard/guitar solos)
Bring Down:
It was the summer of ’78 I’d fill my bed with masturbate
You know you’re bringing me down.
I was too young to have a girlfriend I wish now that I’d been born dead
You know you’re bringing me down.
You know it’s true, I’m sniffing glue.
Girl you know you’re bringing me down.
Dump your body on the lower east side with pools of blood in my brand new ride.
You know you’re bringing me down.
Now the cops have found me out, on my trail without a doubt.
You know you’re bringing me down.
You know it’s true, I’m sniffing glue.
Girl you know you’re bringing me down.
(solo)
I was too young to have a girlfriend I wish now that I’d been born dead
You know you’re bringing me down.
Now I’m trapped inside this cell, trapped inside this prison hell.
You know you’re bringing me down.
You know it’s true, I’m sniffing glue.
Girl you know you’re bringing me down.
Girl you know you’re bringing me down.
Girl you know you’re bringing me down.
Tonight:
Bow wow.
I saw you hanging out, with another girl last night, yeah girl it's true
I can't understand why, why did why did I put up with you again?
I knew you'd treat me that way, why can't you leave my world?
Yeah go girl
Tonight she sleeps with you
And tonight she's gonna be with you
And tonight she's gonna sleep with you
I know things will be better, as soon as I can forget her
But tonight, she sleeps with you
Yeah tonight, she's gonna be with you
Yeah tonight, she's gonna sleep with you
I wanted it so bad, can't believe that I've been had again girl
Tonight I'll cry and cry, I wish that you would die tonight girl
Tonight she sleeps with you
But tonight she's gonna sleep with you
Yeah tonight she's gonna sleep with you
I know things will be better, as soon as I can forget her
Cause tonight she sleeps with you
Yeah tonight she sleeps with you
Yeah tonight she sleeps with you
Yeah tonight
Live In A Van:
In a van we're asleep at night, gotta keep, keep it tight
I don't wanna live in a van
Gotta job, paying the rent, all the money has been spent
I don't wanna live in a van
Can't eat, I can't talk. Too high man, I can't walk
I don't wanna live in a van
I'm going crazy, am I going insane?
I think this whole thing is eating my brain
I don't wanna live in a van
I don't wanna live in a van
Take Back The Alley:
God I can't tell you how many times it's been a Friday night
Pay six bucks to see a band, get thrown out for a fight
Go down to the corner store and buy a forty ounce
Go between two buildings, you, your friends, you start to pound
Take back the alley, take back the alley
You go to the bar to impress some pretty girl
Bartender, she looks at you, she pours you out some swill
You take that girl's hand and you go into the night
Drink a six pack in the alley, god it feels so right
Take back the alley, take back the alley
Let Us Play Your Party:
We're coming over about ten o'clock
Drink all your beer and then we rock
Call long distance and talk and talk
Get your girlfriend to suck out cocks
Let us play your party (x4)
Landlord's coming around the clock
When he finds out, you're gonna be fucked
When we're puking on the rug
You're gonna wanna be pulling the plug
We're gonna hang around til six
Then your sister's gonna suck our dicks
Kicking holes in your walls
Kick your dog in the balls
Wake up Suzy, been up since three
Wake her up with a splash of pee
Let us play your party (x2)
Police are coming, they're on the way
Soon you'll have no place to stay
Let us play your party (x6-ish)
Dropout:
I used to be a rich man
Just a drop out, oh yeah
Used to have money, used to have a car
I'm just a drop out, oh yeah
Wish I had a girl, wish I had a job
Just a drop out, oh yeah, alright
Dropout
Dropout
I don't care about my girl
She's just a dropout, oh yeah
Wish I had money, I wish I had a car
Just a drop out, oh yeah
Wish I had a future, wish I'd go far
Just a drop out, oh yeah, alright
Dropout
Dropout
(solo)
Dropout
Dropout
School's Out:
School's out, we're on the street.
Look out or you'll meet concrete.
Sick of teachers, sick of books.
They all think that we're crooks.
We're gonna burn our teacher's car tonight.
Got kicked out of my class.
I'm failing science and math.
Can't stand all, all that shit.
Don't wanna work but I wanna be rich.
We're gonna burn our teacher's car tonight.
Get the matches, get the gas.
No more tests, we can't pass.
Grab a brick, break some glass.
Pissed off man, can't take it no more.
We're gonna burn our teacher's car tonight.
(solo)
We're gonna burn our teacher's car tonight.
We're gonna burn our teacher's car tonight.
Alienize:
Waiting in my bed at night, looking at the stars of light.
Please take me home.
Long ago you came for me, I was holed up in a tree.
You were alone.
Chorus:
I've been waiting for so long, stick me with your knife.
I won't believe that you're a dream, I've seen your insect eyes.
Life has been not so great with old home dreams and locks of gray
It's so plain cake.
Take me up into the stars and set me up with Mailai par(?)
Don't make me wait.
(Chorus)
Now I can recall the shape,
Triangle a black face.
Why did you leave, I'll never know.
Don't leave me in this place.
Eyesore City:
Bottles broken under feet and the smell of crime,
It don't mean that much to me, walkin' through the slime
It's an eyesore city, it's an eyesore city
With the bodies and the meat, and the swarming flies
Always running from the heat, and their (pelting balls/melting ???)
It's an eyesore city, it's an eyesore city
----
It's an eyesore city, it's an eyesore city,
It's an eyesore city, it's an eyesore city.
Greyhound Bound:
From the time I was 5 til the age of 6 I couldn't wait to be alive
99 black and one with (???), chewing cheeseburgers and time
Turned my fingers brown with cigarettes, I ran out of things to eat
Family in front and some stupid cuties finding (us real girls?) to breathe
We're going round the corner, we're making real good time
I wish I could call that small baby mine
Three more passes, I smell like smoke as I'm burning in my eyes
Growing up black in a small league town you'd have to find out to survive
The knife grows bigger and starts to talk it says "take me in your hand"
Put the driver to sleep and his best friend, don't worry about the man
We're going round the corner, we're making real good time
I wish I could call that small baby mine
I'd kick it, and smash it on the floor
It's flesh and blood hits the floor
There's no more silly baby no more.
SK8:
We're going out tonight and skate, skate, skate
Got some new wheels, a six pack, and a skate
????... we'd be too late
We don't care what the other kids are going to do
Don't try to out skate me, no, you're gonna lose
If you don't skate all day then you're a noob (?)
I don't need no girl, I just love my skate
We're going out tonight and skate, skate, skate
We don't care what the other kids are going to do
??????????????
Don't try to outskate me, no, you're gonna lose
If you don't skate for pay then you're a noob (?)
(solo)
Don't try to outskate me, no, you're gonna lose
If you don't skate for pay then you're a noob (?)
Life of Crime:
Hey little baby, we're going out tonight
So put your blue shoes on, and make your face look nice
Aw, come on little baby, now it's our time
And tell your parents you're gonna spend the night
We're going out tonight and I want it to be cool
We're gonna make them talk and trip them out at school
We need some running to have a life of crime
I hope your friends don't drop a dime
So saddle up baby, and let's hit the road
When I see you stealing it makes my heart explode
We're going out tonight and I want it to be cool
We're gonna make them talk and trip them out at school
I want to leave this place and go out on a high
I want to rob a bank, I don't care if we die, die, die
