Flyswatter

A Flyswatter a blink-182 első albuma, 1993-ban adták ki, az eredeti változatot ex-dobosuk Scott Raynor lakásában vették fel, így sajnos minősége miatt még nem ért el osztatlan sikert a pop-punk zene rajongók közt. Viszont kezdeti (a Poway High Schoolban) tett fellépéseikhez teljesen megfelelt.

Az album dalai:

Reebok Commercial
Time
Red Skies
Alone
Point of View
Marlboro Man
The Longest Line
Freak Scene

"Reebok Commercial"

You are better than me,girls,money,and everything I try to compete with you,
but you beat me at everything i do
I see in you the things that I would like to be
But im different from you,

So you will have to be like me!

I cannot be bought my personality is what I choose
I was brought up without a silver cup I wont
covet the things owned by you

For all the world material things are now more and more
jealousy for you and me
I won't covet the things owned by your store

"Time"

When the clock strikes two
There's so much to do
and I cant explain what i need

Jobs and social group
Hearing the latest new
keepin your reputation clean

And I dont wanna worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
and time runs your like again

The difference between east and west
monney means so much less
and objects aren't so important to buy

I wish that earth clock
could often just be stopped
and then we look into the time

And I Don't wanna worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
and time runs your life again

"Red Skies"

Why can't people just understand
money's something in the nature of the hand
now as we need something to help us with
all used up and nothing more to give

Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running

And all these people they don't comprehend
all those obscure animals aren't even in their pen
along the wheels comes the pain and strife,
?

Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running

And all these people they don't comprehend
all those obscure animals aren't even in their pen
along the wheels comes the pain and strife,
?

Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running

Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running

"Point Of View"

Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in

Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world
Wake up and see someone else's morals
What right to you
Might be true

It's a different point of view to you
You cannot see things that are different to me
And I can't understand why you cannot see
The things that I cannot see

I see what you don't see
I see what you don't see
Turn around and the shadows are all around me

Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in

"Marlboro Man"

I whistle good
I'm kinda straight
And I can can can have fun

No matter what I do
I've always assumed that
I can't go on sucking on my thumb

Sifting through my toys
Resting at my door
After thinking that I couldn't read
Sitting on the porch
And waiting for porno
While sucking on my damn fugi

I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's 2 bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do

I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's 2 bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do

What'd our grandma think of me
All that I've got to do
Guess I should its a wonder

My breath
its how the streets cave in everyday

Oh how the antelopes
Tom's thumb just walked right through my nose

What'd our grandma think of me
All that I've got to do
Guess I should its a wonder

"The Longest Line"

In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
not just a headlight
like the one that's heading right for me
it would be nice if things could turn out right
turn out right yeah
don't think I'll ever see the day

I must have done something wrong
or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
that's sweet and sour
my life is sweet as saccharine
you know three week old milk and grapes are not
not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen

I must have fucked with some witch
in turn she cursed me, cursed my life
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line

But officer that was a yellow light
the light was red, son
insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
for someone lacking luck, like me

At the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
at the end of the longest line

"Freak Scene"

[Written by J. Mascis, originally performed by Dinosaur Jr.]

Seen enough to eye you
but I've seen to much to try you
it's always weirdness while you
dig too much to fry you
the weirdness flows between us
freak scene just can't believe us
why can't it be cool and free us

Seen enough to eye you
but I've seen to much to try you
it's always weirdness while you
dig too much to fry you
the weirdness flows between us
freak scene just can't believe us
why can't it be cool and free us

It's so fucked, I can't believe it
if there's a way I wish I'd see it
how could it work, just can't conceive us
oh what a mess it's just to leave it

Sometimes I don't thrill you
sometimes I think I'll kill you
just don't let me fuck up will you
cause when I need a friend it's still you.
