The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKAfter Party


The Hippos, "Wasting My Life" from Heads Are Gonna Roll (The Last Angry Man)

Skammentary: Unlike the protagonist of "Wasting My Life," I'm not wasting my life waiting for a girl; I'm wasting my life waiting for me. In this case, is my patience with me a virtue or a vice?
"Something in the way she never looks my way,
I'm in love! I'm in love!
Something in the way she doesn't hear a word I say,
I'm in love! I'm in love!

"But people say we're not the same,
She's out of my league, I'm insane.

"Am I wasting my life, waiting for you?
Wasting my life, waiting for you?
Wasting my life, waiting for you?
Is it true?
Am I wasting my life on you?
So, tell me it's not true.

"Something in the way she looked at me today,
I'm in love! I'm in love!
Something in the way she says for me to get away,
I'm in love! I'm in love!

"But people say we're not the same…"
