TOPIC: Situation Gone Bad
Posted  Monday, February 10, 2003 at 10:44 PM
Post 1 of 9
A situation gone bad
Best opportunity I ever had
To turn the wrong into right
Try to avoid another awful fight

It happens every time
I scratch my head to find
There's nothing really there
Nothing but a rock and some hair

Some people aren't very nice
They'll let you down and give you bad advice
So you better beware
Choose your friends with special care

It happens every time
I scratch my head to find
There's nothing really there
Nothing but a rock and some hair

But when you lose your way
There's something more to say
I'm holding on tonite
Holding on to what is right

It happens every time
I scratch my head to find
There's nothing really there
Nothing but a rock and some hair

So when you lose your way
Just think of yesterday
And everytime you ?
?

All right
Hey Hey

Nothing but *rockets in air* (hmm?)

Some people aren't very nice
They'll let you down and give you bad advice
So you better beware
You can choose your friends with best your care (hmm?)
Nothing but a rock and some hair

Choose your friends with special care

Thou art a lyrical savior.

I must say that "That's the Way It's Meant To Be" and "Temporary Blues" are rendered indecipherable due to the loud, squawky guitar.... sad.gif

its a little different on the album isnt it?

im sure on that he says

So when you lose your way
I got no more to a say
and something to forget
And _____ many hope for us yet

rather then:
But when you lose your way
There's something more to say
I'm holding on tonite
Holding on to what is right

tell me if im wrong here??

Notice the dating on the posts. The song was played live for nearly a year before any of us heard it on the album. Sometimes Matt changes his mind when it comes to lyrics. For the record, I believe the current lyrics (according to the album) are as follows:

a situation gone bad
best opportunity i ever had
to turn the wrongs into rights
try to avoid another awful fight

it happens every time
i scratch my head to find
there's nothing really there
nothing but a rock and some hair

some people aren't very nice
they'll hurt your pride and give you bad advice
so you better beware
pick and choose your friends with special care

it happens every time
i scratch my head to find
there's nothing really there
nothing but a rock and some hair

so when we lose our way
remember what i say
as something to forget
and there may be hope for us yet

(repeat chorus)

alright
yeah yeah
hoo hoo
