Wilco

Wilco is an American alternative rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup has changed frequently, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the other current members are guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released eight studio albums, a live double album, and four collaborations: three with Billy Bragg, and one with The Minus 5. Some of their albums include A.M, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and A Ghost is Born. more »

I was chewin' gum for something to do 
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew 
Inside, out of love, what a laugh 
I was looking for you 

Saxophones started blowing me down 
I was buried in sound 
Taxicabs were driving me around 
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown 
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown 

They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown 
I looked like someone I used to know 
I felt alright 
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night 

Oh it's okay for you to say 
What you want from me 
I believe that's the only 
Way for me to be, exactly 
What you want me to be 

Oh it's okay for you to say 
What you want from me 
I believe that's the only 
Way for me to be 
Exactly what you want me to be 

Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do 
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew 
Inside, out of love, what a laugh 
I was looking for you 

Saxophones started blowin' me down 
I was buried in sound 
The taxicabs were driving me around 
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown 
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown 

Oh it's okay for you to say 
What you want from me 
I believe that's the only 
Way for me to be
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be? 

Felt like a clown 
They were translating poorly 
I looked like someone 
I used to know 
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night 

Exactly what do you want me to be? 
Exactly what do you want me to be?
