Meat Puppets - I Can't Be Counted On Lyrics






Give me lots of money
A house up on a hill
Send me pretty women
Or threaten me and still

I'll come out to your house
And attempt to fix your sink
Do a mediocre job
As I'm leaving you will think

If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I will not answer if you call
If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I can't be counted on at all

My eye is on the pork
The pork is in the pan
If something needs a 'doing
Well, you know I'm not your man

If you're counting on me
You know I'll let you down
You can't be counting on me
Cause you know I'm just a clown

If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I will not answer if you call
If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I can't be counted on at all

Give me lots of money
A house up on a hill
Send me pretty women
Or threaten me and still

My eye is on the pork
The pork is in the pan
If something needs a 'doing
Well, you know I'm not your man

If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I will not answer if you call
If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I can't be counted on at all

I can't be counted on at all
I can't be counted on at all
I can't be counted on at all
I can't be counted on at all

    its really funny to hear this now and think that was considered 'underground' in 87. its essentially soft country rock. in the vaste ugly wasteland of 80s music, i guess anything even remotely worthwhile really stood out. listening to the lyrics as an adult, it seems like the main and only idea is "I am a heavy drug user."

    SHE-IT!! I like the music, but I am afflicted with old ppl ears..... I cant figure out what the fuck they're saying. I remember my mother saying that about RR of 50-60s and I thought she was kidding me or just making fun of black RR. Damn, now I got the disease!! I wonder if it is genetic, or "air" born.

    this song is from 87ish. you were young(er)(ish?) when it came out. they are singing about their feelings and discussing their relationships with women.
