Teenage Bonehead
Queers · Cbgb Omfug Masters: Live 2/3/03, The Bowery Collection [2008]
My best friend ran off with my girl - those two damn bozos
Oh and don't you know it hurts
But hey she ain't the first
She ain't the first
I was a teenage bonehead - Yes it's true
I was a teenage bonehead - A-wah-hoo-ooh
I was a teenage bonehead just because of you
My parents kicked me out, now I sit here wondering
My girlfriend sent me a postcard saying "Glad that you're not here"
Oh and don't you know it hurts
But hey she ain't the first
She ain't the first
CHORUS
She never said goodbye to me
Now I sit here wondering
Where she is and what she's eating
Oh and don't you know it hurts
But hey she ain't the first
She ain't the first
CHORUS
Teenage Bonehead
Queers' 'Teenage Bonehead' stands as a quintessential example of the band's raw, punk-infused approach to indie rock. Recorded for their 2008 live compilation, the track captures the group's signature blend of chaotic energy and melodic sensibility that defined their career spanning the late 1980s and 1990s. The song reflects the band's ability to distill complex emotional narratives into concise, driving arrangements, a hallmark of their work during the era when they were pivotal in the underground scene. With its unpolished yet powerful delivery, the recording exemplifies Queers' commitment to authenticity and their unique voice within the broader landscape of alternative music.
