B-Side Of Life - Timbuk 3

Who am I?

Do you recognize me?

Of course you don’t, I’m nobody

I have no money, I haven’t a name

I tear the tickets at the hall of fame

I buy my dinner at the 7−11

Eat it in the kitchen while I watch TV

I like my free time and I love my wife

You’ll find my number on the B-side of life

Once I got lucky: I had a band

We had a song it got to number three

Made lots of money.

made lots of friends

Had lots of pretty people hanging round me

Now all I want is a place to hide

To feel safe from the chaos outside

Cold refrigerator, a warm bed

A place where no one will stick a gun to my head

I buy my dinner at the 7−11

Eat it in the kitchen while I watch TV

I like my free time and I love my wife

We’re happy living on the B-side of Life

We never keep to the city

But the rooms that’ve been unlocked

Were full of overpriced portraits

Engaged in cheap smalltalk

So turn out the lights.

Turn up the radio

Don’t know the singer, but I love that song

I know that I’m no Baryshnikov baby

But I wanna dance with you all night long

I’ll buy you dinner at the 7−11

We’ll eat it in the kitchen while we watch TV

Tonight’s my birthday;

let’s have a party

I’m 30 with a bullet from the B-Side of Life
