rdmyname?my name?

But now my association with this song is like singing it every night and listening through other people’s ears. A highlight of the show for me is like people singing along at the end. What I like about this song is it’s not really telling you why you’re sad, it doesn’t say a lot about what you’re supposed to feel and I’m just so glad people got it.

And now, Scott Street, in its entirety:

Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger With an open heart, open container I’ve got a stack of mail and a tall can It’s a shower beer, it’s a payment plan

There’s helicopters over my head Every night when I go to bed Spending money and I earned it When I’m lonely, that’s when I’ll burn it

Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name?

I asked you: How is your sister?

I heard she got her degree And I said: That makes me feel old He said: What does that make me?

I asked you: How is playing drums? You said: It’s too much sh*t to carry And what about the band?

You said: They’re all getting married

Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name?

Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Anyway, don’t be a stranger Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Anyway, don’t be a stranger Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Don’t be a stranger Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh
