Wendy Clear (Live)​​blink-182

Released: November 7, 2000

Songwriter: Mark Hoppus Tom DeLonge

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Let's take the boat out on the bay
Forget your job for just one day
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
It might be inappropriate because
Either way our band gets dropped, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
The three-date theory's getting old
Everyone is getting left out in the cold
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
So I'll see you with another guy
Who pretends not to hear you when you cry, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
I'll be moving on
Moving on
Moving on and on and on
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on and on and on

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Outro: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
Wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Speech]
Tom: You guys wanna hear some Satan again?
Mark (as Satan): Well, hello kids, are you enjoying the show so far? Chances are you're all gonna get laid tonight. I wanna sleep with every single person here. Starting with the retards—starting with the... Sorry kids, I'm not very funny anymore, I'm having a... hellish of a day! Hey I just made—
Tom: Wait, what if we did something like this. Hey, Satan!
Mark (as Satan): Yes, Tom?
Tom: Hey, I was just wondering if I'm gonna get laid tonight?
Mark (as Satan): Well no, you're not, Tom
Tom: Why not?
Mark (as Satan): Because your dick's small, dark, and ugly
Tom: Alright. Am I funny or what? *crickets chirping*
Mark: Hey uh, I wanna tell you how it's gonna work from uh, for the rest of the show here. We're gonna say that this is our last song and we're gonna play it, then we're gonna walk off stage, but it's really, we're not even done yet, we're gonna come back out and play two more songs even after that, so uh. That's how it works, you know how it works. You go and see a band play, they walk off stage, all "Thanks a lot! Goodnight!" and you know those motherfuckers are gonna come back out and play two more songs anyway, so you know what? At least we're straight about it
Tom: They call it an "encore"
Mark: Yeah, it's an "encore"
Tom: "Encore", say it with us kids. "Encore"

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
