Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Released: July 1, 2003

Songwriter: Seal Guy Sigsworth

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
Criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip, happen as we speak
Will happen as we speak

But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little Crazy

Crazy German people walking through my head
One of them's got a beer, he's yellin' in my ear
David Pollack finally lost his mind
That was five years ago
At an S.O. show

But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little Crazy

In a sky full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy?
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy?
Crazy

But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little Crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little Crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (or the “Gimmes”) is the result of the collaboration of several artists from the Fat Wreck Chords family. Members include Joey Cape and Dave Raun from Lagwagon, Fat Mike from NOFX, Chris Shiflett from No Use for a Name and the Foo Fighters, and Spike Slawson from the Swingin' Utters. The band records nothing but punk covers of popular songs from some of the most un-punk genres.
