This is a song written after reading about Joey Ramone (of the world famous Ree-mones) death.
Lyrics
I BLAME HIS BROTHER
Time was running out he was surfin' on the road to ruin
Flavors from the Bubblegum fadin' from the rhythm he's chewing
I made it so the melody couldn't help but catch his ear - uh huh
If he heard it, by the second time, I figured he'd be singing along
Well I missed my chance at the Greendoor Dance
He was there but I didn't get to see him alone
And Oh, I blame his brother
Joey Ramone never heard my song
Where in the world did the world go wrong?
Lying in the hospital with nothing to do
Why was he listening to U2?
And Oh, I blame his brother
Threw it in a bubble seal envelope with plenty of postage
It's got a riff from the Searchers and the chorus was ripped off from the Coasters
I put in all the harmony designed to make a cretin tear - oh yeah
I can't believe instead of me, that he died boppin' to Hewson
Well I missed my chance at the Greendoor Dance
He was there but I didn't get to see him alone
And Oh, I blame his brother
Joey Ramone never heard my song
Where in the world did the world go wrong?
Lying in the hospital with nothing to do
Why was he listening to U2?
Joey Ramone never heard my song
Where in the world did the world go wrong?
Lying there sedated on carbona not glue
Why was he listening to U2?
Joey Ramone never heard my song
Where in the world did the world go wrong?
Lying in the hospital with nothing to do
Why was he listening to U2?
And Oh, I blame his brother
