The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Katie" from Medium Rare (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: I can't imagine that the music to which I listen has played any part in shaping my jaundiced view of romantic love.
"Nine times out of ten,
The times you'd pretend,
Katie, more times than not, you're,
You're not my friend.

"So stop pretending while it's ending,
And it's time I start defending,
And protect myself from any more abuse!
The friendship was fictitious,
How could you be malicious?
You haven't got a good excuse.

"You're just a waste of time to me, Katie,
And you're a waste of time and air and space,
And I've been wasting time on you, Katie,
There isn't any time left I can waste…

"And I have never been a quitter,
Now, it's something to consider:
Just consider me somebody from your past.
The only thing that's satisfying
Is not the time I wasted trying,
But when I stopped that's when time ran out so fast.

"You're just a waste of time to me, Katie,
And you're a waste of time and air and space,
And I've been wasting time on you, Katie,
There isn't any time left I can waste,
No way!…"
