Green Day – Longview (1994)

“I sit around and watch the phone, but no one’s calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don’t like the one she’s got
When masturbation’s lost its fun
You’re fvcking lonely
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I’m so damn bored, I’m going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, “Quit or I’ll go blind”
But it’s just a myth”
This one was suggested by Sick Chirpse themselves so undoubtedly they were one of the children of the 90’s (after all, Dookie is 18 years old now) that this song spoke to so elloquently. The song basically details summer holidays when there is literally fvck all to do except masturbate and smoke pot cos you’ve all ready watched this episode of Beavis and Butthead and it really wasn’t that funny. By the way – just in case anyone was worried I’m pretty sure BJA is right about the going blind thing being a myth…but we all know what happened to David Blunkett.
