Sleater-Kinney - I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone Lyrics






It's fine
When it's all mine
It's on my wall
It's in my head
Memorize it till I'm dead
It's yours
I'm so bored

I wanna be your joey ramone
Pictures of me on your bad-girl door
Invite you back after the show
I'm the queen of rock and roll

I just don't care
Are you that scared?
I swear they're looking right at me
Push to the front so I can see
It's what I thought
It's rock'n'roll

I wanna be your thurston moore
Wrestle on the bedroom floor
Always leave me wanting more
Throw away those old records

We go downtown
Put on our best frowns
Give me a chance
I know I can dance

I wanna be your joey ramone
Pictures of me on your bad-girl door
Invite you back after the show
I'm the queen of rock and roll

It's fine
Cuz it's all mine

    It's fine when it's all mine
    It's on my wall, it's in my head
    Memorize it 'til I'm dead
    It's yours, now, I'm so bored

    [Chorus]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    I wanna be your Joey Ramone
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Pictures of me on your bedroom door
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Invite you back after the show
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    I'm the queen of rock and roll

    [Verse 2]
    I just don't care
    Are you that scared?
    I swear they're looking right at me
    Push to the front so I can see
    It's what I thought
    It's rock and roll

    [Chorus]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    I wanna be your Thurston Moore
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Wrestle on your bedroom floor
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Always leave you wanting more
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Throw away those old records

    Bridge]
    Go downtown
    Put on your best frown
    Give me a chance
    I know I can dance

    [Chorus]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    I wanna be your Joey Ramone
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Pictures of me on your bedroom door

    Invite you back after the show
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    I'm the queen of rock and roll

    Come on I just wanna be your Joey Ramone babe

  5. S.... V....

    This sounds a bit like "Convenient Parking" by Modest Mouse except Sleater-Kinney released their song first (1995). "Convenient Parking" is on The Lonesome Crowded West (1997). Anyway, I dig both songs.

    S.... V....

    i love convenient parking but this doesnt sound anything like it

    S.... V....

    similar structure i guess but other than that idk what you're talking about

  6. h.... ....

    This album will always remind me of '96 and all of the people i knew and places I went. I listened to this on repeat that year.

  7. R.... V....

    I always remember "I wanna be your j lo" from CSS lol

  8. N.... L....

    being a HUGE fan of both Sleater-Kinney and Gerard Way I literally had no clue Gerard covered this song that is really bizarre to me.. I was reading Carrie Brownstein's book (how's that for an inconspicuous promo?) and she mentioned this song I hadn't heard it in a years, I figured I'd give it a listen and went to the comments and just about died I was like no way (puns not intended).. Gerard is a deity I'll definitely have to give the cover a listen

  14. G.... N....

    Didn't know Gee has a cover of this song until I came to the comment section. Where have I been?

    @number7gracestreet - It is something I need to do everywhere, but I appreciate it may not be for everyone (I can't understand it, but I appreciate that they say it's not). And I did correct my typo. :)

  36. n.... ....

    @Timmybear
    Not saying "an intellectual apporach (sic) is wrong" --intellect is a very Good way of understanding something, you are quite right. Not the only way, mind. 'Intellectualism' is also very fun, just like wanking:) But, it's really not something we need to do everywhere, izzit?
    You know what's wrong? Sleep is Wrong! --Utube it, i dunno how to make links here:/

  37. J.... K....

    Joey Ramone. (1951-2001) RIP

  38. T.... ....

    approach, that is.

  39. T.... ....

    @number7gracestreet - Since when is an intellectual apporach to something wrong? How else can one understand something except by using intellect?

  40. T.... ....

    Hahaha I love this Song !!! xD

  41. A.... M....

    I want a joey ramone

  42. n.... ....

    what-evves about books (AND, just for the record JFTR I love to read)

    Sl-K is a g-damn eff-ing rock band
    and one of the GREATest rock bands live (IMHO)

    SO... stop intellectualising this sh!t

  43. H.... T....

    @starryeyedkid21 I'm reading the book right now, I have the opposite view, I think it's cool and relate-able in small ways to everybody, & it's interesting and I take the brief uses of stereotypes to be irony of how Emily AND Louisa didn't want to be stereotypes, but everyone is entitled to their opinion =)

  44. F.... Y....

    @Pedda67 it's by Stephanie Kuehnert with the same title. it's awesome you should check it out.
