Additional Information

Song meaning as told by Jon: "Those lyrics are so Gary Glitter, but it totally sums up how I feel. I don't care that I'm doing something different, I don't want to be stuck at the end with no stories to tell. What makes up a human being is experiences, so I don't want to be stuck with nothing, I want something". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996

Lyrics

Who got the buzzer
Who got the bell
You gonna false start
Who gonna tell
Got no possessions
Got no car
Just close my eyes
Gone too far

I don't care when my head's outta phase
I'm prepared to feel just great
I don't care for getting stuck with a life of wasted time

You got my number
I'm on your list
Do me a favour
Stick to the wrist
Don't like that nose job
Don't like her hair
You heard the latest?
Who really cares

I don't care when my head's outta phase
I'm prepared to feel just great
I don't care for getting stuck with a life of wasted time
I prefer walking out of line

The latest offer
You got the time
Why do you bother?
A movements sideways
It's all it takes
Stand back

Guitar

Standard tuning, drop C.

Can't figure out the instrumental bit at the end so I'll leave it at that.
