    YEAH... i thinks its The Hives - "Won't Be Long"

    interesting song

    No bright lights, no big city went to my head

    So I won't stick around in this town

    No I'm getting out instead

    'Cause I can't find a thing here to get it done

    to race my heart and ring my ears

    So I won't stick around in this town

    And that's true ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

    'Cause I won't and I can't and I don't understand

    You became what you hate or you hate what you become

    Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin'

    Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin' away

    So I make my way through the quagmire

    Of boomers glorifying their youth

    And all the peacocks in this city

    So if I may be excused

    'Cause I won't and I can't and I don't understand

    You became what you hate or you hate what you become

    Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin' [x3]

    Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin' away

    Well I won't be around for the good times

    Won't be around for the bad

    And I won't stick around in this town

    No I'm getting out instead

    I won't

    And I can't

    And I'll leave

    'Cause I can

    And I won't be back again!

    Well I

    Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin' [x3]

    Got me a ticket and I won't be long 'cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin' away

    And I gotta get gone away

    Cuz I gotta get gone away

    Gotta get gone away

    My favorite song (right now) is Hole In My Pocket by Sheryl Crow You can tell me the world is round and I'll prove to you it's square You can keep your feet on the ground, but I'll be walking on air You're pretty good at waiting While I go running around Well, that's just the way it is, you know I got a hole in my pocket You give me love and I drop it I guess I threw it away I got a hole in my pocket You give me love and I drop it I guess I'll throw it away I got a four leaf clover I'll throw it over my shoulder I'm gonna need it someday o When things don't go right you lead me Torn up and tied---you free me When life is strange you take me Through every change, you never break me You got a feeling there's a wall that you can never climb I try to be there where you are, I try to be on time But I lose my way oops... almost the whole song... they are my favorite parts, though. I guess I like the whole song.
