Lyrics:
Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been
Lost somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
Your little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide
Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying
What's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me
And then I'll
Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide
Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying
What's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy
A dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I'll
Sing and dance
La la la la hey
La la la la hey
La la la la
Sing and dance
La la la la hey
La la la la hey
La la la la
Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide
Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying
What's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

I know! I'm so disappointed in him. He's so talented & was a keystone of the band. The sound is totally different for me with their new music & it's just not the same. They're still an amazing band & I would love to see them live again. I haven't seen them in 19 years.

[@tiffanyv4205]

@@alexisstecz3804after the time now that’s passed, if they could do shows where Boyd comes in like the lovely ladies and butch used to, I’d be down. I can’t help but think of weird shit when I see him in old videos like this, I mean, I’ve always thought there was an off side to him, but we ALL have our demons. Idc who you are. Just because you don’t say yours out loud done mean it’s not there. He disappointed a lot of people though. That’s hard and impossible to come back from. Think about how the band had to have felt letting another one go. After Roi, no one thought things could change again:

[@amandasmith460]

I watched this probably over 100 times and every time I watch it I get full body chills and tears because it is so beautiful

for some reason today I was playing in my head the moment when dave presents the band during "Jimmy Thing". Open spotify to listen to the record and realized in a second that I could probably watch it on YT. Came here and surprise! I've been here before 😂

[@jamesroboyle]

I get goosebumps whenever they go into jam mode. I’m a drummer myself and when you’re playing with a band on some songs , you get this unique kind of high almost . Goosebumps and just a crazy feeling of excitement that you would never experience anywhere else .
