Picked up this album off iTunes the other night, heard their single ‘no suprise’ on one of the local stations and had to pick it up. It’s straight up hard rock, which contrary to other reviews I’ve seen is NOT Nickelback. While Chad Kroeger signed Theory of a Deadman and wrote a couple songs on the album, they have a groove, attitude, and sound all their own. Below are the lyrics to the single, which I’ve heard a dozen times and it gets funnier EVERY TIME I HEAR IT.
Friday is when you left me
So I’ll drink myself to sleep
And Sunday is when I’ll wake up
Not to remember a thing
My friends all say the same thing
I don’t know my new girl too well
(I know)
That all this lying gets to me
And no one seems to give a shit
(The way)
She talks to every guy in the bar
(I guess)
It should’ve raised some kind of alarm
Who’d ever think I’d go in and doubt?
Like all the other guys that you’ve gone and fucked
Well it ain’t no surprise
That you turn me on and leave
It ain’t no surprise
That you turn it around on me
I don’t know why
You won’t give me what I need
It ain’t no surprise
That that bitch is leavin’ me
My friends are mean to me
They say I don’t break up too well
(They know)
All this crying gets to me
And no one seems to give a shit
Well I know you want to
So go on and say it
Just go on and say it
Just go on and say it
