Lyric Wednesdays - Lit

I picked this week's entry because of my Memorial Day TRADITION of drinking in excess. There are three reasons I remember and still enjoy Lit's 1999 hit off their album, “ A Place in the Sun.”

The first reason is that my old roommate's band, Left of Reason, covers it. Whenever they cover a song it makes me fall in love with it again. Plus, everyone knows the song so it goes over well at live gigs.

The second is that it was added to the Rock Band 2 set list – only my favorite party game of all-time. It is easy to play on hard and expert, but still fun on easy and medium. Plus, it is one of the few Rock Band songs that I do not have to read the lyrics when I’m the vocalist in The Toilet Paper Cardboard Tubes, which is my digital band’s name.

The third is my favorite reason. There is a line in the song “My car is the front yard” that is applicable because it actually happened to me. There was a party for Home Depot employees at Maple Lanes. I think it was a going away party, but I cannot remember exactly. Let’s just say that I had a wee bit too much to drink. Unfortunately, I was not smart enough or mature enough to call for a ride. When I woke up in the morning, my dad asked me if I had a good night. I said yes, and then asked why. He said “Because you parked your truck in the middle of the lawn.” I went outside, and sure enough, there it was. I parked the Marklennium Falcon on the grass between the shop and the house. Oops. I might have been too drunk to drive.

I definitely was “My Own Worst Enemy.”

Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
I didn't mean to call you that.
I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me

Please tell me,Please tell me why?
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you're gone gone

It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy,
Cuz every now and then I kick the living shit out of me
The smoke alarm is going off when there's a cigarette
Still burning

Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you're gone gone

Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night

It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy
Cuz every now and then I kick the living shit out of me
Can we forget about the the things I said when I was drunk
I didn't mean to call you that
