LYRICS
She...
She...
She...
Off the bus onto the train
Getting all to high, gotta head on 5th and main
I look like you I feel the same
You don't even know my name
I got this town all to myself
Well everybody's gone to the everybody shelf
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you, I said lordy lordy
I don't like blood into the chain
There aint a nelly man that stays up in my brain
dirty son will find a way
Do you even want to stay
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you, I said lordy lordy
Where'd you get that bruise, do you want me to,
take your body
I must still, taking your bod away
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you. I said lordy lordy
Where'd you get that bruise, do you want me to,
take your body
I must still, taking your bod away

[@dantheman5075]

it's really a shame they're so hard to hear in many of their songs! I've been a chili peppers fan for a while but I always discover new backup vocals in songs that I never noticed before

[@jamesprada1200]

0:03 Not all fans know that when RHCP was releasing a 2nd greatest hits in 2003 that they were asked to make a couple new songs for promotional purpose. While those were Fortune faded (single) and Save the Population, this request resulted in them going to work early on a new follow up album from 2002's By the Way, which was never completed b/c after a break from that process, John had changed his mind about the direction they were going, in regard to the style of his guitar playing. They basically made half a record worth of intended keepers and got busy or needed time off and by time they picked up where they left off, John had shifted back into being inpspired by flashy or more dedicated guitar players like Hendrix and these songs simply didn't mesh with what would become Stadium Arcadium, which they began working on in 2004. Bunker Hill, Eskimo, Save The Population and Fortune Faded are just some of the songs written, as well as the best of them, but they were'nt left off By The Way like most people are saying. Just unreleased in an official manner, by album. However, they wrote some real gems that didn't make it onto BTW. Overall, I understand why. I don't know the specifics, but the best of the B-sides from that sound like they may have never actually been intended for the record. I could be wrong. I personally think that since BeachBoys was one of John's main influences during that period, that it led to them making some songs that sound like they were actually written in the 50s such as "Someone" and could see how that was left off, in the case of not being in sync with the rest of what they created. A shame for sure, but they may have thought let's not do that b/c it lacks originality or b/c it sounds too much like an existing song. Be sure to check out "Someone" and their cover of "Teenager in love" which is a 50s tune. Yea they must have really been into the 50s for "one Hot Minute" around 03-04 b/c they did the Beach Boys cover of I get around by or before 2005 as well now that I think about it. John's backing vocals on Someone is like lifting a tarp off the ground and finding buried treasure shining up into the sky and seeing angels and wondering why only you can see them, while the rest of the world doesn't care. That's how sad it is that people around you don't hear these songs, just like the lost people out there that didn't own RHCP albums after allegedly not being convinced enough by the singles that they need them. Crazy to think there's ppl out here that didn't buy there records when people bought them anyway lol. Backnin the day for me, when school sucked b/c they didn't have Red Hot Chili Peppers class! 😂

From "Ham on Rye", by author Charles Bukowski : " Main Street, East 5th, Bunker Hill..." It's so neat how AK references Bukowski in this song; as he does in "Long Progression", and in " Mellowship Slinky in B major." Great musician and inteligent as well; great band, great songs!
