Lyrics
Listening to the big guy's new CD laying in bed
The speaker is listening to a new CD by a prominent figure while in bed.
The one his producer thinks he never shoulda made
The producer didn't support the creation of this CD by the prominent figure.
But it gets me going gets me into the shower
The CD energizes the speaker, motivating them to take a shower.
What a shock to be awake at this early hour
The speaker is surprised to be awake at such an early hour.
And you're gone
The person the speaker addresses is absent or has left.
It was time to fly
It was time for the addressed person to depart.
And all that's left
Only memories or remnants of the departed person remain.
Is the fact we tried
Acknowledgment that effort was made in the relationship.
So thanks for the tunes
Gratitude expressed for the music and time spent together.
And thanks for the time
Thanking the departed person for their presence, now gone.
You're gone now Baby Bye Bye
The farewell to the departed person - "Baby Bye Bye."
Them guys from Orange County man do they wail
Positive mention of a group from Orange County with impressive musical skills.
Shakes my brain and it shakes my tail
Their music impacts both the speaker's mind and body.
New girl on top of me, will this work out
A new romantic interest is introduced, uncertain about its success.
I retreat to the kitchen and sort it all out
The speaker retreats to the kitchen to contemplate the situation.
And you're gone
Reference to the absence of the addressed person again.
You left your keys on the table
Physical remnants of the departed person, their keys left behind.
And on the bed you left a rose
Another physical token, a rose left on the bed.
And a note that said my CDs won't fit in the car
A note left by the departed person expressing that CDs won't fit in the car and allowing the speaker to keep them.
You can keep 'em I s'pose
Permission granted to the speaker to keep the CDs.
This disc was left out in the sun
A CD left in the sun, damaged and making a hissing sound.
It's warped and it's hissing
Physical damage to the CD due to sun exposure.
I can't place the voice and the insert's missing
The speaker can't recognize the voice on the CD, and the CD cover is missing.
I turn off the phone so if you don't call it's all right
The speaker disconnects the phone, accepting the absence of calls from the departed person.
And maybe I won't listen to nothing tonight
The speaker might choose not to listen to anything further, avoiding reminders of the departed person.
And you're gone
Reiteration of the absence of the addressed person.
