The Evinrudes - Jimmy’s On Crack

Copied!

{verse 1}
Magazine on the seat beside me
I'm judging it by the cover
There's an anglo-saxon lady
In the arms of her latin lover
But ooh, his shirt is undone
Ooh, her shirt is undone
My hair's in a freakin' bun
And this bimbo's shirt is undone

{chorus}
I think i better get right with god
I see his face on a frigidaire
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care
Don't go, dear, into that black night
Death is a salesman, buyer beware
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care

{verse 2}
The air is stale herе
I wish i had a flower
A yellow one would smеll so sweet
Like the horns on a midnight hour
But ooh, the midnight hour
Just like a heady red wine
I'm much, too much familiar
With that heady red wine

{chorus}
I think i better get right with god
I see his face on a frigidaire
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care
Don't go, dear, into that black night
Death is a salesman, buyer beware
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care

{bridge}
Through the wall i hear a lady
In a (?...) i ain't meant to hear
When my love comes to mind
And sounds so sweet and clear
In my head i sang along
Sure enough, i start to hum
Pretty soon i get to thinkin'
You can't choose where your (?...) comes from

{chorus}
I think i better get right with god
I see his face on a frigidaire
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone, oh
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care
Don't go, dear, into that black night, oh
Death is a salesman, buyer beware
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care

{outro}
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy, jimmy, jimmy, oh
Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone
Jimmy's on crack, and i don't care

The meaning of the song

edit description

The song "Jimmy's On Crack" by The Evinrudes tells the story of a narrator who is observing the world around them with a sense of detachment and resignation. They witness a scene of passion between an Anglo-Saxon lady and her Latin lover, while feeling disconnected and out of place. The chorus reflects a sense of impending doom, with references to getting right with God and the chaos of the neighborhood. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, the narrator remains indifferent to the troubles of others, exemplified by the repeated line "Jimmy's on crack, and I don't care." The song's bridge delves into the idea of fate and the inability to control where our feelings come from. The outro reinforces the theme of impending change and destruction, with the repeated refrain of "Jesus is comin' and the neighborhood's gone." Overall, "Jimmy's On Crack" is a gritty and introspective song that explores themes of apathy, inevitability, and the chaos of the world.
