Lyrics:

At quarter to nine
my plus one decides to make her arrival
I’ll say what I like
at the end of the night for social survival
I’ll cut you to size
then apologize and make an impassioned plea
there were no flocken parks
I had to wait in the dark I wasn’t myself you see

here I am again you know me
here I am again in for free
missed the backing band you know me
here I am again in for free

I know I sound trite
but I get off on things like
it’s their sophomore album
I don’t know what I mean
but I’m a part of the scene I know a guy from The Melvins
I came to do a review
I had to wait in the queue I just can’t believe it
don’t you know who I am
I work the street paper scam I can’t believe you don’t read me

here I am again you know me
here I am again in for free
missed the backing band you know me
here I am again in for free
here I am again
here I am again
