MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION
Released: September 1992 Length: 3:15 Disc: Creep single | Pablo Honey Japan Tablature: Guitar |
Yet another song written right after the band got signed, this one looks at the corporate mentality - fat bankrolls,
big promises. "Million $ Question" also seems to reflect Thom's feelings of doubt at this time, closing with the
sample that says, "I just think maybe I'm making a mistake." The track was a live favourite in 1992 and 1993, but was dropped from
setlists soon after the release of Pablo Honey. |
Was always waiting for the crush The car to drive right through the shops To call in sick and late at work And take a holiday Was always tangled up in knots To keep myself from speaking up But no one's listening anyway Just trying to bribe me And if it's alright, then what am I doing here? And if it's alright, this place is gassed by fear And if it's alright, then I'll tell you, 'cause you never understand And if it's alright, then I'll beg you, 'cause I'm a begging kind of man Today I wrote a bad cheque Packed a bag and took a jet But no-one's looking anyway I hope they miss me (I just think maybe I'm making a mistake) |
