Alternative Radio - Spose

I was Six years old, in kindergarten

When my parents got divorced

It was the first time i heard the «C» word

Standing there on the porch

And then we all went back inside

We turned the radio way up high

We were hoping for some better times

Kurt Cobain said «Whatever, Nevermind»

We would listen to the…

I was Ten years old and I woke up for school and I made my bed

Around the time Billy Corgan wore silver pants and he shaved his head

Then, I heard them yell downstairs

Not another morning with a fight down there

I turned my radio up all the way

And Billy said «Today's the greatest day»

I think its safe to say

Alternative radio

Saved my…

Alternative radio

Saved my…

Alternative radio

Saved my life

I was Twelve with a Weezer shirt

And a girlfriend we were in love

I mean, we never really spoke to one-another

But we wrote each other notes and stuff (we didn’t fuck)

After school she handed me one

It said «We're done» and it broke my world

On the school bus I heard a Weezer song

It said «Goddamn you half Japanese girls» (She was’t Japanese but still)

Fifteen years old getting drunk at my home boy Zack B’s

We were quite fucked up off Absolute Vodka and weed

Listening to The Pixies

Later on I was vomiting

That’s when his mom walked in

I got grounded for quite a long time

I would do little, hung over, where is my mind?

But the…

I was Twenty-Four years old when I had the offspring of my own

I miss her when i’m out on tour

Singing interstate love-songs

So I call home on the phone she says «I miss you too»

I said «Loving is what i got» I said «Remember that»

It’s a Bittersweet Symphony When you think of me

But in a few days I will be back and we can listen to the…

I never quit getting lit like my own worst enemy

Eddie Vedder-y flannels til I’m seventy

And now i’m an aging fool, I played in school

But rage and tool made me cool it saved my…
