Okay so everyone has experienced that one song or one album that you felt was written especially for you, that band that got you through a rough break up or gives you hope for future ones. In high school Mr. T Experience’s “Revenge Is Sweet and So Are You” did that for me. This song isn’t from that, but it’s kinda disturbing that my favorite things about girls sometimes is when … “we hate all the same things.” This song speaks to me, and I’m mostly serious about that.
Lyrics:
She’s no beauty queen but she doesn’t mind being seen with me / I may not be the best but I’m the only guy that she can get / and with a love like that you know it’s got to last / and we’re gonna stay together as the years go rocketing past / we share everything his and hers / like all the things that get on our nerves / so she’s with me and there’s nobody waiting in the wings / cause we hate all the same things. / Now I’m anticipating we’ll spend another lovely evening of complaining / about life cause we’ve discovered it’s one damn thing after another / so don’t try to call us we won’t answer the phone / we hate to go out in public even more than we hate staying at home / we’d just hate anything anywhere and anybody who may be there / so I’ll be here and she’ll be near there’s nowhere else to be / cause we hate all the same things. / When the dog bites when the bee stings / when you’re feeling some of these things: ennui, misanthropy, wetschmerz, and anomie, / just think of all the things you hate and things start looking pretty great / if there’s someone who hates them too and she’s with you the whole night through. / If you’ve had a few lucky breaks and you’ve made all the right mistakes / you can be like she and me in a world that swings / if you hate all the same things like we hate all the same things.
