[Verse 1]
He needs a quiet room
With a lock to keep him in
It's just a quiet room
And he's there

[Chorus]
He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friend's guitar
That he played

[Verse 2]
He's never been in love
But he knows just what love is
He says "Nevermind"
And no one speaks

[Verse 3]
He thinks he drinks too much
'Cause when he tells his two best friends
"I think I drink too much"
No one speaks
No one speaks
No one speaks

[Chorus]
He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friend's guitar
That he played

[Outro]
When he plays
No one speaks
No one speaks
When he plays
No one speaks

("I can't let you guys get off without screaming a couple of minutes
This one goes out to my sister Lisa")

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
