Lyrics:
All the boys stitching time
Get yours,got mine
In a minute ill be there
Sit tight get square
You can do it take a wrong
Lie back, trombone
Anybody got a preview tone
Thats right, unknown.
When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little women send me some
Better get up on your run
So much more than Charlies waking me
To my call and Charlies shaking me
Tell my story
Charlies making me
An charlies making me smile.
Oh,now
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Wu wu wu wu wu wu dor
Wake wake wake wake wake wake wake
Wu wu wu wu wu wu wor
Everybody do the twist
Get the the message off these fists
Move around like a scientist
Lay down, get kissed
Big picture and it never lies
Big daddy, good advice
Never read it in disguise
Sunset, sunrise
When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little women send me some
Better get up on your run
So much more than Charlies waking me
To my call and Charlies shaking me
Tell my story
Charlies making me
And charlies making me smile.
Woah now
My heart
Your skin
This love
I'm in
We don't arrive, without a suprise
Your right
Im wrong
Be free
Be long
Into inside, its coming alive
When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little women send me some
Better get up on your run
All I ever wanted too
Was pick it up and run with you
Slip it into a summer spell
Double up and run like hell
So much more that charlies making waking me
To my call and charlies shaking me
Tell my story
Charlies making me
An charlies making me smile.
Woah, now.
My heart
Your skin
This love
I'm in
We don't arrive, without a suprise
Your right
Im wrong
Be free
Be long
Into inside, its coming to life
My heart
Your skin
This love
I'm in
We don't arrive, without a suprise
Your right
Im wrong
Be free
Be long
Into inside, its coming alive.

[@jbarkerhill92]

Flea said that the energy in the band was starting to feel dysfunctional, or something along those lines. So, it was a natural thing for John to leave the band. It wouldn't have been right for him to stay if he wanted to leave. I guess I can just appreciate the 5 magical albums that Anthony, Flea, Chad and John created. They'll always be my favorite RHCP albums.

[@craigm2520]

I read an interview with John that said he was close to burned out and from 18 on he always was in the spotlight and never got to just explore life and music for that matter. For him leaving the band and being on his own for a while has been just his on thing which is great.

@@12xenn45 I’m liking the new album. The magic is back so that proves Frusciante is key to their chemistry. I still think the lyrics are a bit weak and are some bland songs. But there are 5+ songs I’ll be keeping on rotation, whereas past 2 albums had no desire to relisten

[@mokhan8832]

Speaking from my perspective I could definitely see where the energy was deteriorating and it was right when Josh joined the stadium Arcadium tour. The vibe is not the same and it’s not Josh’s fault but in a live mix Flea and John need to be parallel and it was kind of weird with Josh standing all the way in the back.

So many aspects of RHCP live shows rely totally on Frusciante, I wonder how he keeps it all together! He sings, he plays rhythms and lead parts, he changes instruments, he changes tones, he dances, he jams, does solo covers and on top of all of that, he improvises beautifully. His musicianship is truly, uniquely superb, stylish and charismatic to boot.
