Hi folks. We have this Nickelback First Spin goin' on this week for their sixth (!) album, Dark Horse. Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't always listen to our First Spins all the way through, I mean, we just have so goddamn many of them sometimes. But I had to make an exception for Chad Kroeger & crew. I mean, they're the folks that brought us superfine lyrics like "How did our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on Joey's head?" (Photograph).
Here's a random sample of lyrics that I culled while listening to the new album. Since these aren't yet in any lyrics database, I took the liberty of transcribing what I heard directly:
"she rocks it like a naughty wicked witch of the west"
"lookin' like another bob marley day, hittin' from the bong like a diesel train. we got weeds in the backyard four feet tall, cheech 'n chong'd probably smoke 'em all"
"she didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands"
"oh that shit makes me batshit crazy"
"she'd even break a promise in the promiseland"
"the judge is goin' easy cause he paid for her chest"
"S is for the simple need, E is for the ecstasy, X is just to mark the spot"
"sex is always the answer, it's never a question, cause the answer's YES"
"you're so much cooler when you never pull it out. cuz you look so much cuter with something in your mouth"
"i'd love to hear the sound you make the second you're done"
"it's never too late to shoot for the stars, regardless of who you are"
What are your thoughts on Chad Kroeger's lyrical wizardry? Any other gems that stood out for you?

I really like the last lyrics, " it's never too late to shoot for the stars, regardless of, who you are." i think that it is a good thing to remember. :)

Wow. Very very witty. I like ""S is for the simple need, E is for the ecstasy, X is just to mark the spot"
and then the "you're so much cooler when you never pull it out. cuz you look so much cuter with something in your mouth"
Just... wow. haha
