Hey, You reached my Reel Big Fish Page. All I've got is lyrics, so don't expect
much. I don't like the cussing in these albums, so I edited it all out. This is only
their two full length albums. More later.

Turn The Radio Off

Sell Out
Well, I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight, she said, but it's too late
I don't remember what I read, I don't remember what they
Said, I guess it doesn't matter, I guess it doesn't matter
Anymore - you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool but I just don't believe it...
Sell out, with me oh yea, sell out, with me tonight
Record company's gonna give me lots of money and
Everything's gonna be
No more flippin' burgers puttin' on my silly hat you know
I don't want that no more, I didn't ask when we'd
Get paid, I quit my day job anyway, I guess it
Doesn't matter, I guess it doesn't matter anymore
You're gonna go to the record store, you're gonna
Give'em all your money, radio plays what they want
You to hear, they tell me it's cool, but I just don't
Believe it
Sell out, with me oh yea, sell out
With me tonight, the record company's gonna give me
Lots of money and everything's gonna be
I don't think it'll be so bad
I know it won't be so bad
Cause the man said "that's the way it is" and the
Man said "it don't get better than this" no no no
So i signed on to the record company, they say they're
Gonna give me lot's of money, if I play what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool, and I sure believe it...

Trendy
Everybody's doin' the fish

(Makin' fun of trendy people is the trendiest thing of all)

Join The Club
Was gonna call my friends and get'em all together
I was gonna go and start a band
But everything I wanna do has already been done
Why would I wanna go and do it again?
Everybody... plays guitar
She's so cute (if you know what I mean)
She's the cutest little girl, that I've ever seen
Maybe she'll like me if I play guitar
Maybe she'll like me if I'm the lead singer yea
Oh yea! there's so many bands, and we all look the same...
I just saw them, up on stage and I don't
Remember how good they played
He can't sing
But I'd pay just to see her face, yea, yea, yea, yea...
Everybody's in a band yea, yea, yea
Have you heard of my band? oh, ooh, ooh
We try to be different
But i guess that's nothing new

She Has A Girlfriend Now
She has a girlfriend now
She has a girlfriend now
She has a girlfriend now, she said
Guys don't do no more for me
You never loved me, like I wanted you to
I loved you baby, what do you want me to do?
She said she found someone who's gonna hold her hand
She said she found someone who's gonna understand
She don't need nobody to be her man
She don't need nobody to be her man
I never thought it would end like this
Just because i've got no tits
I'll shave my legs, I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my penis off for you...
She has a girlfriend now

Snoop Dog, Baby
I just couldn't believe it, when I turned on
The radio, try to run, try to hide, try to keep it inside
They were playin' that song
And i thought about her
Snoop doggy dog, snoop doggy dog
So much trouble in the LBC
Livin' without her is gonna drive me crazy... she's so
Don't you just wanna kill me, cause you're talkin' behind my back Well I love the band
They're a great bunch of guys
But lookin' at her brings tears to my eyes
I'm watchin' her shake
She gonna give a heart attack now, baby
Snoop doggy dog, snoop doggy dog
Maybe I don't want her back, you know?
Maybe I just can't let her go... i'm so
Well I, turn the radio off...
I don't want no part, try to make me a big star?
I don't wanna be a big star
Everybody's mad they wanna kick me in the head
Was it somethin' I did, was it somethin' I said?
I would try to tell you but I just don't wanna lie
It really shouldn't matter but it makes me wanna
Cry, I wish I didn't care, I wish I didn't care...
But i do. Snoop doggy dog (she said) snoop doggy dog
Please don't tell me it'll be ok cause I know
I'll never never get my way...
And so

Beer
She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore, but I say she never cared
And that she never will, I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then
If i get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
If you're drinkin' well, you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer
She called me late last night, to say she loved me
So..? but I guess he changed her mind
Well i should have known it wouldn't be
All right, but I can't live without her
So i won't even try...
Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell
Said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell!
If i get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
(And she said)
It's ok boy cause you know
We'll be good friends
And I say, I think I'll have myself a beer

(you know the words)

Everything Sucks
There's a ska band on my street, a little ska band
Everybody thinks they're so ---' neat
There was nothin' on the radio
Was gonna make my own band, play my own shows
But that don't work so I'm givin' up again
She said she loved me cause I played guitar
That's ok, I didn't love her at all and I say...
I'm givin' up
I know everything sucks, and this is gonna be the last
Time you hear me complain
Well, i went down to the show
Everybody was there, I didn't wanna go
Cause everything they do is so ---' cool, every song is a hit and the
Girls like'em too, I can't do that so
I'm givin' up again.. I don't know why I learned
To play guitar, nobody's gonna know who we are and I9 say..
I'm givin' up
I know everything sucks and this is gonna be
The last time you hear me complain
She said, some day, we'll get back together maybe
She said, some day, things'll be much better baby
But I don't believe her
And I don't think I need her anymore...
I know everything sucks
And this won't be the last time you hear me complain

S. R.
What ever happened to suburban rhythm?
Why did Ed and Scott quit?
Please don't go, suburban rhythm
All the other bands are just ---

Ska
Watchin' you sleep, I'm lookin' in your window
Everyday I drive past your house
Standin' in your front yard, why don't you come out?
Watchin' you sleep... nowhere to hide
One of these days i'm gonna come inside
It must be love
What else could it be?
--- you --- I love you i'm not crazy?!
Walkin' up to her, now she's walkin' away
I just wanna talk to you!
Maybe she's got better things to do
Don't be afraid... to feel my touch
Don't worry babe I won't hurt you much
It must be love
What else could it be?
--- you --- I love you I'm not crazy
I'm gonna make you love me!
I'm gonna make you love me!
I'm gonna make you love me!
No matter what you say, now here I come

All I Want Is More
Why can't she make up her ---' mind
I'm just sittin' here wastin' so much time
I know it's my fault but it's not my problem anymore...
Some day, maybe she'll come back to me and
But everybody's talkin', they know that I'm lyin'
She gave me everything... all I want is more...
I wrote this song for her. but it won't
Make up for anything. I know it's too late
So why do I wait? it's not my problem
Anymore...
Some day, maybe she'll come back to me and
But everybody's talkin', they know that I'm lyin'
She won't do anything and I'll always wait for her...
Some day, maybe she'll come back to me and
Everybody's talkin', they know that I'm lyin'
She gave me everything
But all I want is more
All I want is more
All I want is more

Nothin'
Everytime I try so hard I get nothin' (nothin')
They say try and you won't fail, I get nothin' (nothin')
I did all that I could I got nothin' (nothin')
I tried so hard, for nothin' (nothin')
I never wanted it that way, guess there was nothin' I could say
I don't know what I want
But i know I don't want this
I give up, I give in, I know i'm never gonna win
I know it's really not your fault
I'm gonna blame you anyway
You say you're sorry but I know it won't do no good
I give up, I give in, I know I'm never gonna win
I don't ---' care, I don't ---' care
I don't ---' care anymore
It's gonna be all right
Cause I don't ---' care anymore
 

Say "Ten"
She's not eatin' bacon, not eatin' sausage
And she won't eat eggs, not eatin' chicken
Not eatin' turkey, she won't have a steak
But I just can't help feelin' sorry
For this poor little lettuce head
You know, I can't stop cryin' cause I
Know this broccoli's dead
Vegetarian, I'm not a vegetarian, vegetarian... she's a
Poor little cow, little sheep, little fish
How can I sleep? when carrots are bleedin'
Plants are screamin' and tomatoes cry
You say "It's not so bad, they're only
Vegetables", that's what you said
Maybe I'm a murderer, but I'm hungry
And they're better off dead
Save a plant, eat a cow
I want beef, I want it now!
I'm gonna eat it cause it's red!
I'm gonna eat it cause it's dead!
Maybe I should eat it raw
 

I'll Never Be
Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought I saw my face on MTV
Or a magazine that she won't read, stole
Her heart but it's not my fault, lookin' at
My picture she forgot about her boyfriend, yea
I'll never be... a rock and roll star
I'll never be... anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
Somebody tell me... when do we get paid?
Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought by now I'd be on MTV
Or a magazine like seventeen or rolling stone
And I won't be alone with your
Money in my pocket and face on your T-shirt yeah
I'll never be... a rock and roll star
I'll never be... anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
But I try and I try and I try and I try
Every day
Every day
Said I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be... anything, anything at all

Alternative, Baby
Well, I see you up on stage and I don't know just
What you're sayin', but you're my hero...
And a guy just kicked me in the head, a little girl
Just passed out dead, I'm in between a big jock
And a sweaty skinhead but I love you
Whatever that means... but I don't wanna talk
To you, cause I know I'd just say some thing
Stupid and I know you've got better things to do
Hey, little alternative girl
Don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs to you
It's all right if you don't understand
Maybe I shouldn't be so serious, tellin' you that
Everything sucks cause I don't wanna bring you down
But it never ever works out right, I'm gonna lose
Give up the fight, I won't get what I want
Won't get anything but I love you... whatever that means
And they don't wanna talk to me cause they know
What I'll turn out to be, I said I was cool
But I can't lie to you (but i do)
Hey, little alternative girl
Don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs to you
It's all right if you don't understand
And I don't wanna start again cause I know
It'll be the same in the end
I didn't like it the first time anyway
