Hatesong Lyrics

"HATESONG" off album "Lightbulb Sun"(2000)
--Bass riff (plays in verse; can be played on guitar as well):
...Repeated, with slight variations.
--Guitar (v.quiet) over riff, with some kind of wah effect (0:32):
...Repeated, with slight variations.
--Verse 1(1:06):
This is a hatesong, just meant for you
I thought that i'd write it down, while I still could.
I hope when you hear this, you'll want to sue...
--Guitar, with distortion(1:38):
yeah yeah yeah
--Verse 2(2:02):
Oh it's a lonely life in my, empty bed
And it's a quiet life that leaks, from my head
These are the last rites, the line is dead
--Guitar, with distortion(2:34):
yeah yeah yeah
--Middle/Chorus: power chords on guitar (2:56):
Yes, I'm hearing voices too
But I'm more cut up than you
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
--Break (there are at least 2 guitars here, here are the main two)(3:24):
...that repeats, with this(distortion guitar) over the top, at cross-rhythms:
PALM MUTED, part doubled
--Solo (3:51): all other parts drop out. This riff plays through solo:
--Second solo: distant guitar (+acoustic), with distortion as before (5:06):
--Chorus(6:01):
Yes, I'm hearing voices too
But I'm more cut up than you
yeah yeah yeah
--Guitar break (6:28):
--Bass riff returns at cross rhythms with drums (6:50):
Repeats until end: fade out.
Phew! That crazy solo is untabbable! I love steven's guitar playing because its so
he's got his own style.
Enjoy playing this strange but brilliant song...
