Rhett & Josh Homme - More in Common Than You'd Thin

In the latest Rolling Stone, Josh Homme gives props to five of his favorite summer songs (or something like that).

One of his five? "Timebomb" by the Old 97's. He says something to the effect of "I don't know how this song wasn't a huge hit."

For the record, I agree.

And QOTSA covers "Christian Brothers" by Elliott Smith on their new single. Just when I didn't think I could love them more than I already do. I ordered the single from Amazon instead of paying the ridiculous shipping fees through the European web site. $20 for shipping? I don't think so!

I know that song served as the inspiration for one boardie name…

I got a timebomb, in my mind Mom.
I hear it ticking but I don't know why.
I call the police, but they don't like me.
I hear 'em whispering when I walk by.

I got a landmine in my bloodline.
I'm not immune to getting blown apart.
She's like a claymore, that's what she's there for.
She's waiting 'round here to get blown apart.

Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train,
She's gonna kill me. Oh Celeste, oh Celeste.

I got a timebemb, in my mind Mom,
It's gonna go off, but I don't know when.
I need a doctor to extract her.
I got a feeling she'd get right back in again

I got a timebemb, in my mind Mom,
I got it badly for a stick-legged girl
She's gonna kill me, and I don't mean softly.
I got it badly for a stick-legged girl

Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train,
She's gonna kill me. Oh Celeste, oh Celeste, oh Celeste.

Donde esta stick legged girl?
