Some questions the doctor wants to know
"How this could ever hurt you so?
I need to know what has gone wrong
And how long it's been going on
Was it that you never drank enough water
Or did you not eat enough fibres?
Not only will your answers keep you sane
But it will teach you never to make the same mistake again
You can tell me to my face
Or even on the phone
You can write it in a letter
Either way I have to know
I really don't think you ate right
Well you are gonna start tonight"
Anyway I'm going out of my mind
With the answers to his questions that I have to find
Wake up in the morning
Always in a daze
With the sun in my eyes
Alarm going off in a craze
Then to the old
toilet bowl
Am I chained . . .
Flipped the seat down
Sat myself down
Oh the pain . . .
Flexing vocabulary runs right through me
Four-letter words runs right from a to zee
Constipation and frustration in my mind
A way out of this mess is what I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting
Cos I heard that this feeling won't last that long
chorus:
Never ever had it dangled so low
Why don't you just take it out of this black hole?
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling yeah it got me feeling really bad!
Never ever have I had to find
I had to dig it out to find my own piece of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling yeah it just don't feel right
I'd keep searching
Within my closet
For a pair of pliers
Which seems to work the best
I need peace gotta feel at ease
Need to be
Free from pain
Go insane
How it aches -- yeah
Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head
Four-letter words runs right from a to zed
Constipation and frustration in my mind
You got my concience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong
Now I'm just awaiting
Cos I heard that this feeling won't last that long
chorus x3
"You can tell me to my face
You can tell me on the phone
Oooh you can write it in a letter babe
Cos I really need to know
You can write it in a letter babe
You can write in in a letter babe . . . "
When I first heard "Never Ever" on the radio, I thought it the tune sounded pretty nice. But as I started picking out the lyrics (not a hard job for this song since it's really slow) I began to notice the incessantly repeating phrase "never ever" especially at the end of the song -- the whole chorus repeats three bloody times, each time the phrase is sung four times almost continuously -- that was when the song started to get annoying. When I downloaded the lyrics from the Internet (see for yourself) I decided it's either that they never passed grade 4, or it's that they picked someone who didn't pass grade 4 to write the the lyrics for them. I figured that if they lost a boyfriend, it would definitely bring up much deeper emotions than what they wrote (and if they're faking it, they did a really lousy job). Then one day as I sat on my favorite toilet seat (the one that doesn't flood, in case you've read my other webpages) with that stupid song stuck in my head, I realized maybe they're not talking about someone breaking their heart -- that was when our friend Josh L., notorious for his taste of music, went out and bought the single for this song. That just takes care of it; I set out and wrote this parody. I kept most of the original lyrics in, so you can decide what All Saints is really trying to say here: lost love, or bowel trouble?
