Whipping Boy

Train · Drops Of Jupiter

Since then I never feel helpless, recess, this mess if you do
And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you need it to
And we do
Well by now I've showed you how much I believe in the here
and now and I wish that you knew

Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy

You spilled your purse onto my bed
Searching for something for your head
Since then you never come clean I mean
You wish you only could

Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy

I can get up...

And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you need it to
And we do
And we do
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy

Whipping Boy

Train's "Whipping Boy" serves as a standout track from their 2001 album "Drops of Jupiter," blending indie rock with a distinct pop sensibility. The song features the band's signature blend of acoustic guitar, driving rhythm, and Paul Doucette's emotive vocals, characteristic of their early discography. Released during the height of the alternative rock revival, the recording captures the band's ability to craft anthemic melodies that resonate with listeners. It remains a defining piece of their catalog, often cited alongside hits like "Drops of Jupiter" for its infectious energy and melodic structure. The track exemplifies the era's shift toward more polished, radio-friendly indie productions while retaining the raw energy that defined Train's initial breakthrough.
