The Size of a Cow Don't you think it's funny that nothing's what it seems When you're not looking forward? Me, I'd like to think that life is like a drink And I'm hoping that it tastes like bourbon You know that I've been drunk a thousand times And these should be the best days of my life Life, it's not what I thought it was Damn blast, look at my past I'm ripping up my feet over broken glass I said, oh wow, look at me now I'm building up my problems to the size of a cow No, oh, oh, oh, oh the size of a cow You know it would be strange to live life in a cage And only believe the things you see that are written on the page How easy would it be at home in time for tea And stop feeling like a sailboat rocking on the sea You know that it's been sunk a thousand times And these should be the best days of my life Life, it's not what I thought it was Damn blast, look at my past I'm ripping up my feet over broken glass I said, oh wow, look at me now I'm building up my problems to the size of a cow No, oh, oh, oh, oh the size of a cow No, oh, oh, oh, oh the size of a cow You know that I've been drunk a thousand times And these should be the best days of my life Life, it's not what I thought it was Damn blast, look at my past I'm ripping up my feet over broken glass I said, oh wow, look at me now I'm building up my problems to the size of a cow Damn blast, look at my past I'm ripping up my feet over broken glass I said, oh wow, look at me now I'm building up my problems to the size of a cow Oh, oh, oh, oh the size of a cow Oh, oh, oh, oh

[@markgreet3543]

Great song, reminds of the summer of 1991 chilled out times.

[@ikonographics]

This was my class anthem back in 1991... Don't you think it's funny that nothing's what it seems When you're in 7A We have the comprehension That life is a detention And we're hoping that we'll get away! You know that we've been warned a thousand times And these should be the best days of our lives Life is not what we thought it was! Damn blast! Look at our past Were ripping up the desks in Kruger's class! I said, OH wow, look us now! Were building up our problems to the size of a cow! Can't believe I still remember our lyrics after...32 years 😱

[@GenericWhiteBitch1980]

[@hollypietrzak5214]

i like this song it sounds so catchy!!!!

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

This song just popped into my head for some reason. It's depressing listening to this. I just want to be back in that time again. I just want that life back. Drinking, smoking, clubbing, turning up to work still high from the night before and when your shift ends, you do it all again. I thought the deal was that our parents were old and we stayed young and reckless.

[@dymphna1]

I feel exactly the same !!

[@Username89039]

What a great, great band. Some real classic songs.

I remember years ago this song when I was a teen and I never heard it until it was on a free cd I got from a magazine. My friend was sleeping over and I played it to her on my cd player, I said you got to hear this song and I just remember her getting on all fours and pretending to be a dancing cow 🤣 the silly things you remember though lol

I saw The Wonder Stuff play at Toad's place in New Haven, CT. in late September of 1991. Unbeknownst to my 13 year old self, that same night a little indie band from Seattle called Nirvana was playing just a few miles down the road 😩

[@hyphz]

Only just noticed how clever the start is.. intro sets up the key of A. Singer starts on a C# note but immediately slides up to D#, and the song kicks off in B. First lyric: "Don't you think it's funny when nothing's what it seems?"

I’ve seen this phenomenon happen in many music videos. Brian Adams - Summer of 69 (live in Wembley 1996) is a notable one. Sort the comments by newest first and you’ll see the same thing thousands of times. It’s weird. Edit: just checked that video, it seems that the comments are back to normal. It was complete hell a while ago though.

So I'm guessing Noel Gallagher was referencing this song in "Come on Outside" ?? Doesn't seem like his vibe, but "problems the size of a cow" is a pretty specific lyric.

There are still lots of bands and musicians the play real instruments. If you don’t see them the problem is om your side.

[@coachanderson2704]

@@rw80 Like this band too. Relax, just saying the good old days. Yeah I seen some good bands pooping up too. Somebody told me: Label doesn’t care about your music. All they care about is money. And Labels generally care more about the amount of followers you have on social media than if you actually play listenable music. If you have more the better, that is how you get signed. At least 1million over to be looked at from a Label and an deal. Plus nothing can replace getting out there, playing shows in front of people, and building your audience. Unless you have tons of disposable money laying around to pay for digital advertising. What your thoughts about getting the music out there both social digital and just playing in the shows?

I certainly hope there’s more videos from this new Fan, it was some of the best music and entertaining video that I have seen since I do not know when, that band is amazing, they make a kiss concert look like amateurs, I’m not a kiss fan.

[@VEHICLEFAN5500]

Track appears to be a reflective and somewhat satirical exploration of the complexities and disappointments of life. The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment, contrasting the expectations of life with its stark reality. In the first verse, the song suggests that life is often not what it seems when one looks forward to it. The metaphor of life being compared to a drink, specifically bourbon, symbolizes the desire for life to be rich and satisfying. However, the irony is highlighted as the narrator expresses their hope for life to taste like bourbon, yet acknowledges that they have been drunk countless times, implying a pattern of unfulfilled expectations.
