Blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket Lyrics






Anthem Part 2

Never found out why you left him,
but this answer begs a question,
Too blind to see tomorrow,
too broke to beg or borrow.
Young and Stupid, left wide open
Hearts are wasted, lives are broken

One more point of contention,
I need some intervention
Approaching failing tensions,
betray my short attention span
The distance, bridge the border
Beg forgiveness, round the corner

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door

More time apart will give you,
a few more months to argue
Is this to much to live through,
it always seems too far to drive
The point home, send more letters
Pray tomorrow, ends up better

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door

I never did do anything that she asked,
I never let what happened, stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant,
In spite of everything, in spite of everything

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
but every time I look for you the sun goes down

Josie, you're my
Source of most frustration
Forget when I
Don't meet expectations
Everything you wished came true
In the end we all blamed you
Even though, as they all know
You weren't the only one, two, three, four

Why do you still keep it around
When you know it brings me down, I'm hating everything
And I know that you've dated other guys
But I gotta wonder why you'd leave it out for me (shit)

Why am I still hanging around
When I know it brings me down, I'm hating everything
And you are getting rides home in his car
You're making out in his front yard, I'm hating everything

Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

And if we can have another day
I've got so much left to say, I'd tell you everything
And I'll laugh when I think about the past
When I see you after class, you're hating everything

Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

And she said, (na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
"I just forgot you were there" (na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
"I just forgot you were there" (na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
"I just forgot you were there" (na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)

Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

And she said (na na na na na)

First Date

In the car, I just can't wait
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm too scared of what you think
You make me nervous so I really can't eat

Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest
Let's make
This night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever

When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everbody in the room
Please don't look at me with those eyes
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I'm probably gonna miss

Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest
Let's make
This night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever

(solo)

Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest
Let's make
This night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever

Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever

Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever

Happy Holidays, You Bastard

It's Christmas eve
And I've only wrapped two f*cking presents
It's Christmas eve
And I've only wrapped two f*cking presents

And I hate, hate, hate your guts
I hate, hate, hate your guts
And I'll never talk to you again

Unless your dad'll suck me off
I'll never talk to you again
Unless your mom will touch my cock
I'll never talk to you again
Ejaculate into a sock
I'll never talk to you again
I'll never talk to you again

It's labor day and my grandpa just ate seven f*cking hot dogs
Labor day and my grandpa just ate seven f*cking hot dogs

And he shit, shit, shit his pants
He's always f*cking shit his pants
And I'll never talk to you again

Unless your dad'll suck me off
I'll never talk to you again
Unless your mom will touch my cock
I'll never talk to you again
Ejaculate into a sock
I'll never talk to you again
I'll never talk to you again

Story Of A Lonely Guy

Push it out, fake a smile
Avert disaster just in time
I need a drink, 'cause in a while
Worthless answers from friends of mine
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore
Girls possess me but they're never mine
I made my entrance, avoided hazards
Checked my engine I fell behind
I fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone, I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this, like the prom
I get too scared to move 'cause I'm a f*ckin' boy

Remember when I was in
The grocery store, now's my time
Lost the words, lost the nerve
Lost the girl, left the line
I would wish upon a star
But that star, it doesn't shine
So read my book with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy
Who fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone, I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this, like the prom
I get too scared to move 'cause I'm a f*ckin' boy

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone, I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this, like the prom
I get too scared to move 'cause I'm still
Just a stupid, worthless boy

The Rock Show

Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer at the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time that I saw her there

She's getting kicked out of school 'cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, 'cause I know all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and that made it I swear

I fell in love
With the girl at the rock show
She said "What?"
And I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool
Gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I rememeber the look her mother gave us
17 without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a f*cking explanation

I fell in love
With the girl at the rock show
She said "What?"
And I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool
Gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call
She always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance
I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love
With the girl at the rock show
She said "What?"
And I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool
Gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show

"Holy shit! There's a whole bunch of people here.
I've counted at least three. It's all hot and sticky.
I wanna... I wanna feel your hot and sticky, sweaty
bodies..." - Tom

"Hi" - Mark

"I wanna feel your sticky bodies..." - Tom

"I'd like to invite all of you to come afterwards and
enjoy a nice sponge bath with the three of us" - Mark

Stay Together For The Kids

It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted, it's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all
I'm ripe with things to say
The words rot and fall away
What stupid poem could fix this home?
I'd read it every day

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost?
It's not right

Their anger hurts my ears
Been running strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them every day
We get along, so why can't they?
If this is what he wants, and it's what she wants
Then why's there so much pain?

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost?
It's not right

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost?
It's not right
It's not right
It's not right
It's not right

Roller Coaster

Breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time

Leave me standing here
Act like I'm not around
The coast will probably never clear
Can I please go home now?

I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in
And there I stay

Lay beside me
And listen at the wall
We'll keep on lying
Until the summer comes

I had that dream about you again
Where you drive my car
Right off a f*cking cliff

And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time

Make me promise
That I will never tell
All I remember is
The way her bedroom smelled

I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in

And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Goodnight, goodnight

Reckless Abandon

On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on

I learned a lot today
Not sure if I'll get laid and
Not sure if I'll fail or pass
Kissed every girl in class
Everybody would waste it all
To have a summer that they could call
A memory that's full of fun
F*cked up when it's all done

On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
And break the truth
With more bad news
We left a scar size extra large

Sip a drink of the alcohol
End up kneeling in bathroom stalls
Eyes are red and my movements slow
Too high, got vertigo

He took a shit in the bathroom tub
And fed the dog the brownie drugs
Tried hard not to get caught
He f*cked a chick in a parking lot

On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
And break the truth
With more bad news
We left a scar size extra large

Break a window and bust a wall
Making fun of your friend's mom
Turn the music up way too loud
Charge the pizza to the house
Everybody would waste it all
To have a summer that they could call
A memory that's full of fun
F*cked up when it's all done

On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong
This is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song
To lead you on
And break the truth
With more bad news
We left a scar size extra large

Everytime I Look For You

Never found out why you left him
But this answer begs that question
Too blind to see tomorrow
Too broke to beg or borrow
Young and stupid
Left wide open
Hearts are wasted
Lives are broken

One more point of contention
I need some intervention
Approached with vague intentions
Betray my short attention
Span the distance
Bridge the border
Beg forgiveness
Round the corner

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door

More time apart will give you
A few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through?
It always seemed too far to
Drive the point home
Send more letters
Pray tomorrow
Ends up better

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door

I never did do anything that she asked
I never let what happened stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant
In spite of everything, in spite of everything

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground

Give Me One Good Reason

Mom and dad they quite don't understand it
All the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose?
And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah

I like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
I like the the kids who fight against how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's f*cked to care
It's cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah

So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie f*ckin' scumbags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah

So give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Shut Up

Shut the f*ck up she said
I'm going f*cking deaf
You're always too loud
Everything's too loud

Now that all my friends left
This place is f*cking dead
I want to move out
When can we move out?
This shit has got to stop
I'll run away

Get the f*ck up she said
Your life is meaningless
It's going nowhere (nowhere)
You're going nowhere (nowhere)

You're just a f*ck up she said
I'll live alone instead
She said, you don't care (you don't care)
I know I don't care (I know I don't care)

I'll never ask permission from you
F*ck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home

I got too f*cked up again
And passed out on the plane
Tried to forget you (forget you)
I can't forget you (I can't forget you)

No sleep on this flight
I'll think about the nights
We had to get through (we had to get through)
How did we get through? (How did we get through?)

I'll never ask permission from you
F*ck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I'll run away

I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave

I'll never ask permission from you
F*ck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I'll run away

I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)

Please Take Me Home

Oh no, it happened again
She's cool, she's hot, she's my friend
I'd drive for hours it's so
You leave me nowhere to go

She's unstoppable, unpredictable
I'm so jaded, calculated, wrong

Please take me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had

Buy hope, hope that it lasts
Give in, forget the past
Be strong when things fall apart
Honest, this breaks my heart

She's unstoppable, unpredictable
I'm so jaded, calculated, wrong

Please take me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had

Please take me home
Too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad
This is the best time we ever had

Why did we have to go date?
It's too easy to complicate
Be strong when things fall apart (be strong when things fall apart)
Honest, this breaks my heart (it's so hard)
Let's go

Please take me home
Too late, it's gone

Back to: Blink-182


Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is the fourth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on June 12, 2001, by MCA Records. The band had spent much of the previous year traveling and supporting their previous album Enema of the State (1999), which launched their mainstream career. The album's title is a tongue-in-cheek pun on male masturbation ("take off your pants and jack it"), and its cover art has icons for each member of the trio: an airplane ("take off"), a pair of pants, and a jacket. It is the band's final release through MCA.

The album was recorded over three months at Signature Sound in San Diego with producer Jerry Finn. During the sessions, MCA executives pressured the band to retain the sound that helped their previous album sell millions [citation needed]. As such, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket continues the pop-punk tone that Blink-182 had honed and made famous, albeit with a heavier post-hardcore sound inspired by bands such as Fugazi and Refused.

Regarding its lyrical content, it has been referred to as a concept album chronicling adolescence, with songs dedicated to first dates, fighting authority, and teenage parties. Due to differing opinions on direction, the trio worked in opposition to one another for the first time, and the sessions sometimes became contentious.

The album had near-immediate success, becoming the first punk rock record to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 and achieving double platinum certification in May 2002. It produced three hit singles—"The Rock Show", "Stay Together for the Kids", and "First Date"—that were top-ten hits on modern rock charts.

Critical impressions of the album were generally positive, commending its expansion on teenage themes, although others viewed this as its weakness. To support the album, the band co-headlined the Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket has sold over 14 million copies worldwide.
