Track 10: Basket Case (Ruari's
song)
By: Green Day Explanation: The second Green Day song on the soundtrack, and maybe more on the Jolt League/Orange League soundtrack too...and I don't even like them all that much, just a few of their songs. This is mostly about the part of Ruari that's a little paranoid and obsessive-compulsive and, well, crazy. I'd italicize the lines that made me think of her but that'd be basically the whole song, except for "I went to a whore/He said my life's a bore/And quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down." But the rest is perfect. Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? I'm just stoned I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bore And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down Grasping to control So you better hold on |
