Waiting For Susie
Screeching Weasel · Thank You Very Little [2000]
We're gonna be here all night Susie is taking her time as if we're going
somewhere we get all spiffied up and wait for her to drive up like we're
actually real people sometimes I wish we were not so naive we sit around
and wait for her why do we wait for her? Susie knows that we're losers
Susie knows that we're hooses and yet she always shows up I don' tknow
why we bother to even take a shower she'll just say hi and walk away
sometimes I think we should just slit our wrist we sit around and wait
for her why do we wait for her
somewhere we get all spiffied up and wait for her to drive up like we're
actually real people sometimes I wish we were not so naive we sit around
and wait for her why do we wait for her? Susie knows that we're losers
Susie knows that we're hooses and yet she always shows up I don' tknow
why we bother to even take a shower she'll just say hi and walk away
sometimes I think we should just slit our wrist we sit around and wait
for her why do we wait for her
Waiting For Susie
Released on the 2000 album Thank You Very Little, "Waiting For Susie" stands as a quintessential example of Screeching Weasel's post-punk energy. The track captures the band's signature blend of chaotic instrumentation and raw vocal delivery, characteristic of their work in the early 2000s. It reflects the frenetic spirit of the era, utilizing distorted guitars and driving rhythms to create an immersive, high-octane listening experience. As part of their broader discography, the song exemplifies the group's ability to channel the aggressive, DIY ethos that defined their career, offering a dynamic contrast to their earlier releases while maintaining their core sonic identity.
