Lyrics

There was this guy at a party who was reading from his poetry

Describes a person at a party reading poetry

While I was crying – It's enough, this is no place for me

Expresses the narrator's emotional discomfort at the party

On my way out I couldn't find my jacket

Narrator couldn't find their jacket while leaving the party

I got mad so I stole a bunch of cigarette packets

Out of anger, the narrator steals cigarette packets


Out in the city night, I was left alone

Narrator feels abandoned in the city night

Went to a club where this new, young band tried hard to rock ‘n' roll

Narrator goes to a club where a new band is struggling

I punched the singer in the face

Narrator physically assaults the singer of the band

Said – You must be the brother to a bad poet

Accuses the singer of being related to a bad poet

whose girlfriend I fucked at a party an hour ago

Reveals that the narrator had a previous encounter with the brother's girlfriend


I am evil, I am bad

Narrator acknowledges being evil and a liar

I'm the biggest liar, I make people sad

Claims to make people sad through lies

Who could think that I would grow so much hate

Expresses unexpected growth of hatred

I was never wanted, mother, now it's too late

Conveys a sense of not being wanted by the narrator's mother


Early in the morning I left an after party

Narrator leaves a morning after-party happily after vomiting on someone

Feeling so happy ´cause I threw up on the arty farty fucker

Describes the satisfaction of vomiting on an unpleasant person

who'd been giving me whiskey all night

Attributes the narrator's happiness to the person who provided whiskey

I'm a coward so I ran from the fight

Narrator admits to cowardice by running away from a fight

Believe me or not, I ran into the poet

Narrator coincidentally encounters the poet

I asked for a cigarette though I knew that he had none left

Asks the poet for a cigarette, though aware there are none


Said – I wanna kill you

Narrator expresses a desire to kill the poet

'cause you bug me, I wanna kill you

Reiterates the narrator's strong negative feelings towards the poet

I hate your poems, I hate your life style,

Lists reasons for hating the poet's poems and lifestyle

I hate your arty friends, I hate your meaningless life

Expresses hatred towards the poet's friends and life

I wanna kill you

Repeats the desire to kill the poet

'cause you bug me, I wanna kill you

Reiterates the intense dislike and desire to harm the poet

I said…

Unspecified statement in response to the poet


I am evil, I am bad

Narrator reiterates being evil and bad

I'm the biggest liar, I make people sad

Repeats the claim of being a significant liar causing sadness

Who could think that I would grow so much hate

Reiterates the unexpected growth of hatred

I was never wanted, mother, now it's too late

Reiterates the feeling of not being wanted by the narrator's mother
