Foo Fighters - Word Forward Lyrics






Good bye Jimmy, farewell youth
I? must be on my way I've had enough of you
Was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose

Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's

They're just fucking words
This is life or death
It's time to clear the air
You better save your breath
Say have you heard
Say have you heard
The Poison in my heart
And voices in my head?

Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's

I meant every word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward

But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fucking words

Word for word? for word forward
Word for word? for word forward
Word for word? for word forward
Word for word? for word forward
Word for word? for word forward

    I think about my relationship with God when I hear this. I should live for him instead of just praying words... Thank you Jesus!

    Good bye Jimmy, farewell youth
    I must be on my way I've had enough of you
    Was a young man, proud and true
    Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose

    Years that I've wasted
    These I owe you's

    They're just fucking words
    This is life or death
    It's time to clear the air
    You better save your breath
    Say have you heard
    Say have you heard
    The poison in my heart
    And voices in my head;

    Years that I've wasted
    These I owe you's

    I meant every word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward

    But it's only words
    I meant every word
    They're just fucking words

    Word for word; for word forward
    Word for word; for word forward
    Word for word; for word forward
    Word for word; for word forward
    Word for word; for word forward

  5. S.... H....

    One of my favorite songs to lift me up and get me going

  6. A.... G....

    These one grain of rice sluts (uncooked) they only started this shit in 2002, we’ve all been doing this shit since 1988, I reckon they can just fuck off the best of us just don’t want them

  7. K.... K....

    They're just fuckin words!

  8. D.... G....

    Goodbye Jimmy, farewell youth - Music like this is still being made today, search up 'Take A Look - HeadAche (Official Music Video)'

  9. M.... T....

    名曲ってかFoo Fightersの最高傑作ベスト

  10. J.... B....

    amazing band and song!

  11. M.... S....

    R.I.P Jimmy.

  12. h.... ....

    Only Foo Fighters would add 2 brand new songs on a greatest hits album haha

    h.... ....

    Or the offspring

    h.... ....

    Or the RHCP and Jamiroquai !

    h.... ....

    hunsler1006 nothing with adding 2 new songs to a greatest hits album....beats the usual ones with just all the hits 😂

    h.... ....

    That's cause this songs legendary status

    h.... ....

    Most bands put new or unreleased material on greatest-hits albums

  13. W.... R....

    Again the main musical style influences are a blend of the Beatles, Led Zepplin and Kurt Cobain...

    W.... R....

    Yeah, first thing I thought when I heard the beginning of this song was, "Wow, this sounds a lot like the Beatles."

    W.... R....

    Yes. The begin sounds a lot like "A day in the life" by The Beatles :)

  14. D.... M....

    Just some fuckin words

  15. C.... D....

    One of their most underrated songs. Absolutely love this one!

    C.... D....

    "Underrated" It's on the greatest hits album bud

    C.... D....

    @Disco Spider As a previously unreleased track!! Many people don't know it

    C.... D....

    b.... ....

    +biglorenz I didnt rember it either excepy from the greatest hits album

    b.... ....

    I think it was only on that album, there are more remix's of this song after it came out on the greatest hit album so I am guessing it is saying it is the one off of the greatest hit album

  20. L.... T....

    +theinsanesailor I get you,I know how you feel

  24. R.... P....

    Jimmy passed away in 2008. A year after my nearly fatal car accident. He was the Road Manager for FF but left that and moved back home. You were the best Jimmy.

    R.... P....

    Jimmy neutron

  25. R.... P....

    Jimmy was a beautiful soul. Met in junior high and I fell in love at first sight. Sadly an accidental overdose took him from us. But everyone that knew and loved him is keeping his memory alive. Rest in peace blue eyes. Until we meet again .♥

    R.... P....

    Goodbye Jimmy farewell youth...so sad :(

    R.... P....

    R.... S....

    Wow, at first I thought wtf, but you're kind of right.

  28. E.... ....

    This is really one of the reasons why I love Foo Fighters. This song is awesome.

  29. N.... P....

    Got grounded for listening to this. They're just fucking words.

    N.... P....

    Tell your parents at least you're not listening to some rap with 20 n words in one song.

    N.... P....

    "goodbye jimmy, farewell youth" that's so sad...it's a song to dave's best buddy, jimmy swanson that died in 2007. the inclusion of this song in foo fighter's best of it's a true act of friendship to me

  50. B.... J....

    nice try attempting to get more views by increasing the length of the video making people think your version is longer than the ACTUAL album version.

  73. T.... ....

    the song is dedicated to his childhood buddy whom died and he had to get over it somehow so this song helped him do that. his name was jimmy.

  74. r.... l....

    @brandemonium5 definitely hear it, guess thats why it gives me an eargasm

  75. T.... S....

    thought this is not a foo fighters popular song, it is sure one of my favorites

  76. B.... ....
