Top 50 Noodling Boys

from Spritelife EP by Falling and Laughing

/

lyrics

Top fifty noodling boys supposedly of all time
We were told 'be like them' in guitar magazines
They play really fast
They call guitars an 'axe'
Noodling sounds crass
But they claim it's good

Oh top fifty noodling boys, I don't want to be like you
I'll never know why I tried, other than I was supposed too
There's no deserted crossroads here, stop working on your rock song
Because I find it all too macho, and it's gone on far too long

Guitars are trapped in a culture and it's the same one
That gives us the myth of the rock star and rock song
Don't let them pretend
We're not as good as them
The only ones who pretend
Have bought it from that myth

Oh top fifty noodling boys, I don't want to be like you
I'll never know why I tried, other than I was supposed too
You'd be solo-ing off now, if this was your song
But I find it all too macho, and it's gone on far too long

Top fifty noodling boys supposedly of all time
I can see you look down on women with your eyes
That's why we will never be friends
We will never be friends
We will never be friends
We will never be friends
