I always though that The Sweater Song had a pretty interesting little riff and I liked the whole sweater-analogy. I find it very different from BH's unoriginal 3-chord progression and really dumbed down lyrics.
Oh well, I wish we could agree :(
Sweater Song:
Do Do Do Do|Do Do Do Do|Do Do Do Do|Do Do Do Do
Beverly Hills:
Do Do __ __|Do Do __ __|Do Do __ __|Do Do __ __|Do Do __ __|Do Do __ __|Do Do __ __|__ __ __ __
It sadly is the same song just slowed down and with rests. Sweater Song has great atmosphere with the fingerpicking but as far as rhythym goes.....
Sweater Song is infinitely better, lyrically, musically, and in cool factor. I only like Beverly Hills because of its solo honestly.
My favorite off that album. "You are...
18-year-old girl who live in a small city in Japan.
You heard me on the radio about one year ago
and you wanted to know
all about me and my hobbies,
my favorite food and my birthday.
Why are you so far away from me,
I need help
and you're way across the sea.
...."
ME TOO!!! I saw Weezer once and they opened their encore set with that!

This is beginning to hurt
This is beginning to be serious
It used to be a game
Now it's a crying shame
Cause you don't wanna play around no more
Sometimes I push too hard
Sometimes you fall and skin your knee
I never meant to do
All that I've done to you
Please baby say it's not too late
Getchoo
You know this is breaking me up
You think that I'm some kind of freak
But if you'd come back to me
Then you would surely see
That I'm just fooling around
Getchoo
I can't believe
What you've done to me
What I did to them
You've done to me
I will never understand why the song Beverly Hills exists. It is just so stupid to me. Not just the fact that the music is boring, because usually good lyrics can make up for it, but that song is just stupid all around.
How does a great musician/lyricist like Rivers Cuomo go from My Name is Jonas and the like to this?
Break my spine sugar booger
Break down and lose your sweet mind now
Cause that's the way that you wanna be
Cause that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Yeah that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Waste my time sweety, pretty
Bust out the hammer-time moves y'all
Cause that's the way that you wanna be
Cause that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Yeah that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Everytime you turn around
I just want to hit the ground
Locked up in your little world
Makes me feel so insecure and now
Draw that line maybe, baby
We could get up and kick it down
Cause that's the way that you wanna be
Cause that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Yeah that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Spank my plank funky, pokey
You children now ya must bust out
Cause that's the way that you wanna be
Cause that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Yeah that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
Everytime you turn around
I just want to hit the ground
Locked up in your little world
Makes me feel so insecure and now
Show me now
Everytime you turn around
I just want to hit the ground
Locked up in your little world
Makes me feel so insecure and now
Draw that line maybe, baby
We could get up and kick it down
Cause that's the way that you wanna be
Cause that's the way
That's the way that you wanna be
What's the deal?
With my brain
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain
There's the pitch
Slow and straight
All I have to do is swing
And I'm a hero
But I'm a zero
Hungry nights
Once again
Now it's getting unbelievable
Cause I could not have it better
But I just can't get no play
From the girls
All around
As they search the night for someone to hold onto
And just pass through
Singing
Oh
Get your hands off the girl
Can't you see that she belongs to me?
And I don't appreciate this
Excess company
Though I can't
Satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander
Can you blame her?
Singing
Oh
Tell me there's a logic out there
Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come
Tell me there's some hope for me
I don't wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the earth
When I look in the mirror
I can't believe what I see
Tell me who's that funky dude?
Staring back at me
Broken beaten down
Can't even get around
Without an old-man cane
I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold
Bitter and alone
Excuse the bitching
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
Cause feeling is pain
As everything I need
Is denied me
And everything I want
Is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame?
Nobody but me
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back
It's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
Screw this crap I've had it
I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig I'm a dog
So excuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
Ain't gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit
That I want sugar in my tea
Hear me I want sugar in my tea
I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back
It's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back
It's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back
It's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the shaded glim I saw you
Lying with him
Down in the snow
Letting him do
All of the things that he wants to
What does he do?
What does he do to you that's so nice?
And how does it feel?
When he takes your hand and kisses it twice
Lying with you
Down in the snow
Letting him do
All of the things that he wants to
Come on come on come on I feel it
So laugh and play around
Come on come on come on I see it
Fall and hit the ground
Come on come on come on I feel it
You think I'll never know
Come on come on come on I see it
Your lover in the snow
Letting him fill you up with his wine
Letting him flatter you with his line
Letting him put you down in the snow
Taking him in and letting me go
It hurts for me to see you so
And I can't take you back no more
Lover in the snow
I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the shady glim I saw you
Come on come on come on I feel it
So laugh and play around
Come on come on come on I see it
Fall and hit the ground
Come on come on come on I feel it
You think I'll never know
Come on come on come on I see it
Your lover in the snow
You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She is your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air
In between molecules of
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold onto hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says hey baby I just
Might take the chance
You say it's a good thing
That you float in the air
That way there's no way I will crush
Your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces
Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold onto hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
Jamie
What you doing now?
What you doing now girl?
Please please tell me
Cause I need to know
I need to know now
When I was down
You came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side
Now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie
I want you to know
Jamie
Jamie
I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
Jamie
What you doing now?
He's dialing your car phone
Please please be true
You know that I trust you
Do that which you must do
When I was down
You came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side
Now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie
I want you to know
Jamie
Jamie
I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
You've got the Beach Boys
And your firm's got the Stones
But I know you won't leave me alone
Sometimes it seems
You're not with me
It hurts me so much
It hurts me so much
You are the most
You're so rad
You're so fresh
And I'm so glad
I am yours
You are mine
Show me where
And I will sign
When I was down
You came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side
Now you're gone
And I'm waiting waiting
Jamie
Jamie
I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
Jamie
Believe me
I won't let you down
Cause you are the best lawyer in town
Sometimes it seems
You're not with me
It hurts me so much
It hurts me so much
Thanks for all who looked at the thread and made posts. You all helped create this mix whether you realized it or not
It flows quite queer, but not in a bad way. The emotions on each album are so distant from another...but somehow this worked. Just barely fits on a single disc. Give it a listen if you feel like and let me know how it sounds. Missed some good ones, maybe I'll need to make disc 2 in the future.

what's up, why are you posting all these songs?
8/08 - Ed solo in DC, 6/09 Ed in B'more,
10/10 - Brad in B'more
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
You remain turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
Hip hip
When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
Hip hip
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
Hip Hip
