Gimmie Stitches
Foo Fighters · There Is Nothing Left To Lose [1999]
So we can get out of here
I'll always be the one who runs from everyone
Cause everyone's just too weird
Sink with someone tied to me
I'm making you volunteer
Another one has come and gone
They crawl along, make them disappear
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
Blood on you
Take another stab at me, I promise in time I'll heal
But yesterday went on and on a bit too long
I waited out on high street
There's nothing to find out here
Another day has come and gone
They crawl along, wasting all these years
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
Blood on you
How can you go on when you're murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never (x3)
Blood on you (x4)
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
How can you go on when you're murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never (x3)
Blood on you (x4)
About Gimmie Stitches
"Gimmie Stitches" stands as a defining track from Foo Fighters' 1999 album *There Is Nothing Left To Lose*, marking a pivotal shift in the band's sound. Following the departure of Dave Grohl's previous collaborator and the rise of new drummer Taylor Hawkins, the song showcases a grittier, more aggressive rock style that would characterize much of the group's work in the early 2000s. The recording features dynamic interplay between lead vocalist Dave Grohl and guitarist Nate Mendel, delivering a high-energy performance that balances raw power with melodic sensibilities. As a staple of the band's discography, the track exemplifies the post-grunge evolution of the era while maintaining the core energy that made Foo Fighters a defining force in alternative rock. Its inclusion on the *Greatest Hits* collection further cements its status as an essential listen for fans of the band's catalog.
