Ben Kweller - Commerce, TX Lyrics
i got a bad flavor
i got dirty clothes
i got a strange neighbor
who doesn't have curtains on her windows
drinkin' jaeger all day
you got me crate combo and a baby on the way
but it's ok
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah
that's my new best friend
ann disaster's her name
we're passin' out on the carpet
and our attributes are the same
it's the slacker lifestyle
that we do so well
bills are due on monday
i'm oblivious, can't you tell
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
my brain is super-fried
it involves pain to look inside
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call

Does not remind me of Weezer.
ashvlogs diary page 149

Me. Been living here for two years
Meh, Nirvana's mollys lips
Smells Like Teen Spirit is literally More Than A Feeling. Your point?
This song is Sophomore year of high school for me, listening to pretentious chicks', who liked Ben Kweller, boyfriends' bands.
Rudderless

Anyone here actually from Commerce, TX? If so, you probably know me, Chad Dean, and Robert Recer. Haha
I wanted to hear this song called Commerce, TX bc I live near here and low and behold this guys an awesome singer!
Reminds me of weezer circa the blue album
100th comment like a boss!!!>100💗
Quite nicely evocative of the thrill of living
Hey, you died in 2008.
Ben Kweller - Commerce, TX
Little did you know he'd one day be in a bidding war with labels, work with Ben Lee and Ben Folds, and be featured on several soundtracks and compilations. Crazy world, eh?
Come back to Fitzgerald's in Houston so I can walk 2 blocks home piss drunk again!
YES!! HE'S COMING TO BRAZIL!
I spent some of the best years as a child in Commerce.
. He rocks!
Awwhh he was so young :')
wait......Sonic drinks Jaeger!?
That is the dopest jacket ever!
Thank you for posting this! You are my hero.
I still love Ben just as much as I did when I was fifteen and first heard his music when he came on stage at a John Mayer concert.
He's lovely and he rocks!
i love this man.
REST IN PEACE TO THE "STRANGE NEIGHBOR" WHO PASSED AWAY TODAY
haha, im from Commerce, pretty cool that the name of a semi-famous song is our town lol
Yeah, unfortunately the republic of Texas is a Blythe to this country!
I'm from Commerce,TX. and I run track for them.. I really want those trails..
I saw him back in 2008 in Birmingham, AL. Great show.
Anyone else thinks he sounds sort of like Weezer?
Just interviewed him. Lovely lovely fella too.
@endocry
That's a good point. That fine line between homage and imitation. From what I've heard of him it's either trying to be Weezer or Ben Folds.
@NinjaJedi Pretty lame justification. I have more respect for a terrible (not saying Weezer is by any means), yet original band, than some dork that just blatantly rips off another artist like this. Hope he's paying Weezer royalties.
@endocry
Anything that rips off Blue/Pinkerton era Weezer is much much better than what Weezer is right now.
@rushforce33
name sounds familiar. Don't know who it is though.
@B52280
My Ex-StepSister is from Celeste.....
Karri Wolfe.....she's 25.......or her older brother JR Wolfe....he's like 28 or 29 now
@peterbkamp Die bigoted creep. Just fucking die.
Is anyone else kind of reminded of Holden Caufield when watching this?
HUGE FUCKING WEEZER RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@micah36lambert

I live in Commerce and my neighbor indeed does not have curtains. I am sure he hates Commerce.....If anyone in the world reads this....please..I beg of you...NEVER VISIT COMMERCE! It is so damn lame.

I like Ben's hair like this.

It's not like his voice is anything special.
This is like Disney channel music.
