Punk Rock Countdown: No. 39 "My Girlfriend," by Guttermouth (mp3) (lyrics)
A clever, humorous commentary on the punk subculture, "My Girlfriend" is a punk rocker's lament about his girlfriend's obsession with moshing. While he seems to prefer more typical teenage dating rituals, his girlfriend is more interested in "dancing in the pit." She would rather take a dive/Off a stage a mile high/Than see a movie.
Pennywise take the stage
girly flies into a rage
like a baby throws a fit
she'll be right back in the pit
take an elbow to the nose
pickin fights and throwin blows
she really makes me
[Chorus] My girlfriend she makes me really sick
she makes me really sick
when she's dancing in the pit yea
This song is proof that even the most hard-core punker has feelings, too.
