Red Hot Chili Peppers - Bob Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
Lyrically, "Bob" is lighthearted and whimsical, often interpreted as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on everyday absurdities or perhaps even centered around a character named Bob. The song’s carefree and energetic vibe encourages listeners to enjoy life’s lighter moments and not take things too seriously, embodying the spontaneous spirit that has long defined the band.
Song lyrics
Well, my friend Bob's in jail today
His girlfriend is too
For stealing change for gasoline
Nothing to do but rue
Destroy the proof
'Cause there will never be another one just like you, no
Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob
I met him on the boulevard, Hollywood and Vine
He said, "You're gonna be a superstar"
I said, "That's fine, sublime"
He loved my crime
But there will never be another one just like you, no
Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob
I never see you
I never see you
I never see you
Hanging late all through the night
Blackest flag at dawn
A lust for life that kills itself before it gets too strong, that's wrong
Please be lifelong
'Cause there will never be another one just like you, no
Bob
I never see you
I never see you
I never see you
Killing yourself, I hear your voice on the phone
The sound is so far away
Remember the home and how they left us alone
Remember our friend, oh
Stealing everything in the store
You know I want you to stay
Remember the home and how they left us alone
Friends fade away
Well, my friend Bob's insane today
I know I am too
The mental patients laugh and cry
Nothing to do but rue
Destroy the proof
'Cause there will never be another one just like you, no
Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob
