Bastille - Basket Case Lyrics






Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything, all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She said it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Yeah yeah yeah

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned?
Am I just stoned?
Am I just stoned?

  28. C.... ....

    Not a Green Day fan and I've always hated this song, but man I could listen to Dan sing anything

  29. F.... 7....

    Esto es genial. Aunque no se parece al estilo de Green Day, opino que es bastante bueno y también opino que NO TIENE LA INTENCIÓN DE PARECERSE A UNA CANCIÓN DE PUNK, gracias

  30. K.... M....

    Wowowowowow

    It's a great cover and anyone who thinks different
    Fight me

    P.... ....

    Me mother fucker

  34. R.... ....

    This is a bop.. Especially when 'HE said my life's a bore.' cause you know, I'm mentally seven and i don't care if that's what was in the original.
    dYlE fOrEvEr

  35. K.... K....

    this (i my opinion) is a great theme song for Hawkeye from avengers, who else agrees?

    K.... K....

    @Friday Night's Out but cap with fo anything for his really close friends hence the line 'whatever it takes' and him being built up and broken down every time he was rejected from the army but eventually got the super soldier serum

    K.... K....

    a child who does vlogs that is describing his life story not his personality,

    K.... K....

    @Friday Night's Out It's not meant to describe his personality it describes his journey as a small kid from Brooklyn to a super soldier

    K.... K....

    a child who does vlogs nah, I think boogie woogie bugle man would work better for him

    K.... K....

    a child who does vlogs also theme song are supposed to give you a feel of what the protagonist is not how he is what he is. Giving the ark away in a theme song isn't smart

  36. S.... ....

    Ungh. Chills.
    Love Green Day so much but my God this version works so well

  37. C.... ....

    Did a piano cover of this here https://youtu.be/N9WCt6d95jg

  38. L.... G....

    I don't even know why I came here he ruined a green day song and it's hard to ruin this song because it's fucking easy

    L.... G....

    I personally love it

    L.... G....

    @Tara Hickey I just think the vocals are taking a lot of liberties and they also slowed the tempo

    L.... G....

    Luke Garrigues well i guess he was just experimenting with it, it wasn’t meant to be like how green day did it at all and i don’t think dan’s voice would suit the original style anyway. fair enough if you didn’t like it though.

    L.... G....

    @Hill Citian Agreed

  39. J.... E....

    No me gusta para nada "green day"...

    J.... E....

    Green day son buenos gustandote o no.

  40. V.... ....

    I went to a hoe she said my life is bore

  41. D.... K....

    That's awsome! Check out our Russian version of Basket Case! On my channel 🙏☺️

  42. J.... S....

    Fuck you for butchering this song I hope they never ever play this garbage on the radio again after even the DJ said it was garbage . Whinny little bitch boy band

  43. N.... ....

    I love u Mram26
    I try to find this cover so long time around 1 year LOL

  44. H.... ....

    THIS SUPRISED ME WHEN I LISTENED TO IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD

  45. l.... j....

    Two of my favourite bands? Hell yes!

  46. �.... ....

    Omg...nice voice...

  47. M.... ....

    Bastille dont fail to impress as usual

  48. N.... G....

    Eh, I'm not sure what I think of this. I mean, good job. I guess?

  49. L.... C....

    Canon in D

  50. M.... A....

    I love when a cover doesn't copy the original but change things up and manage to be awesome

    M.... A....

    Mattia Agosta yep yep yep

  51. K.... ....

    Interesting. Very orchestral. Also like that they didn't censor anything. Now why can't I hear this on the radio? My local radio stations are mostly rubbish (My hopes aren't high enough for getting the original on radio)

    K.... ....

    I think radios focus on singles rather than covers.

    K.... ....

    Radio 1045 in philly is where I heard this

    K.... ....

    Who needs radio to listen an specific song these days?

    K.... ....

    @viken just looked it up, nice station. Thanks for the hookup.

  52. G.... T....

    this cover gives me creep .

  53. S.... ....

    OMG BASTILLE COVERING GREEN DAY IS MY LIFE

    S.... ....

    Daisey 196 same here

    S.... ....

    Daisey 196 lol

    S.... ....

    September ikr

  54. y.... y....

    Makes me so happy

  55. W.... L....

    I love Bastille, but... they can't do Green day

    W.... L....

    They aren't trying to be like Green Day.

    W.... L....

    Ellos solo tratan de hacer esa canción a su estilo, de eso se trata un cover o una versión original. No creo que quisieran tocar la canción igual que Green Day, porque ¿¿para qué usarían violines??

    W.... L....

    Demonic Mad Hatter it’s not supposed to be, they switched up the style quite a bit

  56. M.... L....

    Pfff, this is shit, green day forever

  57. I.... h....

    Don't like it, just like that ITS a cover yknow it's different

  58. K.... O....

    Best 2 minutes 38 seconds of my life.

  59. D.... ....

    This is terrible

    D.... ....

    DaStarWarsGuv Thanks :)

  60. D.... P....

    [Not the point of the song but] this makes me so happy!

  61. X.... ....

    what is this crappy pop cover

    X.... ....

    Slim Rutherford that isn't a very good insult since panic is extremely mainstream pop

    X.... ....

    Friday Night's Out that’s the point...idk how u don’t get it

    X.... ....

    @Hill Citian oh shit, twas probably late at night when I couldn't even articulate in real life.

    X.... ....

    Yeah, I mean Pop music... known for their violins.

    X.... ....

    XXLivingindoubtXX bastille are hardly pop at all

  62. N.... M....

    Me encanta la parte Instrumental

  63. M.... K....

    This is actually good

  64. S.... A....

    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
    The music is great!

  65. j.... ....

    O H M Y G O D I L O V E T H I S S O M U C H I M S C R E A M I N G

  66. A.... ....

    Not sure if want. Hm.

  67. P.... B....

    Cool !!!

  68. J.... ....

    Les quedó una versión con un tono muy épico. Temazo de Green Day también, grandes Billie Joe y los suyos.

  69. R.... C....

    Gran versión, con el sello de Bastille
