Replacements, The - Can't Hardly Wait (The Tim Version) Lyrics






I'll be there in an hour
Take half a month there on foot
watering hole, scummy waterin' tower
sit on a boat if I could

I'll be sad in heaven
You won't follow me there
There

Jesus rides beside me
Never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up
I've got enough of this stuff
Ashtray floor, dirty clothes, filthy jokes

Lights flash in the evening
I guess we'll follow them there

I'll be sad in heaven
If I don't find a hole in the gate
Climb on the top of this scummy water tower screamin'
I can't hardly wait

I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait
'til it's over

    "I'll be sad in heaven if I don't find a hole in the gate." - Brilliant, Paul!

  2. g.... ....

    Bob was such a good guitar player

  3. L.... C....

    Interesting to know the original lyrics were about suicide.

    L.... C....

    The lyrics are on Pleased to Meet Me are also about suicide, just more subtly..."I'll be home when I'm sleepng."

  4. J.... B....

    Ash tray floors, dirty clothes and filthy jokes.....

    P. W. is a genius.

  5. M.... C....

    “Burt Reynolds!”

  6. T.... I....

    A million times better than the Pleased To Meet Me version. This should have been on the Tim album, instead of Dose of Thunder.

    T.... I....

    The lyrics are way better on PTMM though

    T.... I....

    I disagree. I like this version, but i really love the Pleased To Meet Me version way more than i do this.

    T.... I....

    There is probably something to be said for both versions. This version marches along in lickety-split fashion and is more punky and demo-ee and raw. Drumming is great. Then there's that riff/lick from both.

    But the Pleased To Meet Me version is much more polished and professional. Cool swagger with horns. Yet it isn't polished to the point of being neutered.

    Ultimately no matter what anybody sez: Paul Westerberg is the alchemy part. That voice. those songs. spawned countless numbers of imitators. Nirvana, Goi-Goo Dolls, etc. It still amazes me to this day. How did possibly the best punk singer of all-time come from Minneapolis? lol And that's just part of him.

    T.... I....

    This is absolutely, for me, the definitive version. The raw power of this version matches the feel of the song more truly - imho. But if someone is listening to the Replacements, it's all good. You're still listening to a great great band singing amazing songs.

    i love this fucking band
