I Never Got The Girl
Queers · Pleasant Screams [2002]
Came along and said, "I wouldn't
mind to hang around a while."
Now the sun - it's always shining every day
Because you're never far away.
And things are going fine.
Time stood still forever, and then you came along.
I used to say never ever will I find a girl
To hang around and make me feel I'm not a clown.
Stupid girls before were always leaving.
Listen up, believe me I'm believing.
I never got the girl till I got you.
I'm so sick of hanging around alone,
Being bored and staying at home.
I'm so sick of singing the blues.
I've paid all my dues; I got you.
I Never Got The Girl
Queers' 2002 track 'I Never Got The Girl' stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of punk energy and theatrical absurdity. Recorded for the album 'Pleasant Screams,' the song exemplifies the group's commitment to chaotic, high-octane performance art that defies traditional song structures. The recording captures the raw, unfiltered spirit of the early 2000s underground scene, where Queers pushed the boundaries of what constituted a coherent musical statement. Through its frenetic delivery and provocative themes, the track remains a defining piece of their discography, illustrating how the band utilized noise and satire to critique societal norms while delivering an unforgettable sonic experience that resonates with fans of experimental rock and punk.
