I asked her out yesterday Here's what Nikki had to say She said that she'd rather turn gay So why don't I fuck off and go away I asked her out on a date She said she'd rather kiss a snake She said that I'm a big mistake So why don't I go jump in the lake I guess I'm out of luck She told me that I suck I don't understand why Nikki doesn't like me I offered her a love that's true She said she'd rather eat dog poo Or go skateboarding without shoes What's a boy like me to do She'd rather pull her teeth with pliers Or try to ride her bike without tires Or set her pubic hairs on fire She said I'm an asshole and a stupid liar I guess I'm out of luck She told me that I suck I don't understand why Nikki doesn't like me

When you're feeling down or lonely Like the world is trying to swallow you whole When you're thinking that you're going nowhere That you're life is out of control When you're thinking that there's no one to turn to No one will listen to what you have to say When you're feeling frought with futility Don't let anything lead you astray Just take the time to think of what I said to you And listen to this song Close your eyes and think of me There's nothing really so wrong Cause someone is thinking of you When you're feeling trapped or locked up That the walls are closing in on your When you feel the world's weight on your shoulders And you're not sure what you should do If you need someone to hold onto Don't you know you can always count on me When you feel the need for assistance I'll be there for you can't you see Don't you know that I will always care for you That's not so strange You mean so much to me And this will never change Cause someone is thinking of you

It's been so very long Since I've written a political song But I'll do it again just wait and see This songs about a girl who's into anarchy She's the most beautiful girl I've seen anywhere Wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Che Guevara I just had to stop and stare I don't really even care I saw her talking to this guy Waving her arms with this look in her eye About the plight of the workers in Afghanistan I don't really understand Still I want to be her man She was handing out leaflets at the punk rock show I told her I'm a vegetarian too you know I play benefit gigs and I'm drug free You don't get much more PC than me That's when she looked my way Here's what she had to say She said what do you think about anarchy That is what she said to me I said Anarchy is Neato She brought up animal rights and what's my stance I thought maybe I had a chance I told her I thought vivisection's cruel But I thought she was really cool After a discussion on church and state I asked her to go on a date With me to the protest on Friday night She said that would out of site Now everything will be all right We were hanging up flyers on the telephone poles About the evils of corporate control Of the third world economy Its so rad that she's with me I worked up the nerve to give her a kiss It doesn't get much better than this Then I started to quote Chomsky That is when she fell for me That anarchist she fell for me Anarchy is neato She was handing out leaflets at the punk rock show Now she is my girl you know And what's become of all of this Now i am an activist And we're so happy all the time Holding hands in the Food Not Bombs line And the reason I am so happy Well it all is thanks to anarchy Anarchy is neato

The Flash can run really fast and Green Lantern has his magic ring But what can Aquaman do, not much of anything Sure he can swim and talk to fish and he's the king of the sea But what good is all that in an air breathing society Aquaman sucks He might be helpful if I was a duck Aquaman sucks I'd rather be helped by The Atom Aquaman's role in the Justice League is held in close scrutiny While the go fight crime in space he's left behind to patrol the sea They say "Serously Aquaman we need you here in case of amphibious attack" And while they party on their space station they all laugh behind his back Aquaman sucks Take him out of water and then he's fucked Aquaman sucks I'd rather be helped by the Wonder Twins

Tongue Tied 01:57
Every time I try to tell you Just how much I care My mouth goes dry I avert my eyes And my speech suddenly becomes impaired Its like I've got a mouth full of marbles I don't make any sense Every time I'm around you I lose all my eloquence I get so tongue tied Can't you see how hard I try To express the way I feel But the words never seem to fit When I try to say I love you You'll have to take my word for it You know I find it very hard To make my feelings clear I think up real great things to say They're out the window whenever you are near The things I think up in my head Well they sound really great But what come out of my mouth ain't the same I find it hard to articulate I get so tongue tied Can't you see how hard I try To express the way I feel But the words never seem to fit When I try to say I love you You'll have to take my word for it I'm so clever here up on stage Down there I'm so afraid Can't think of what to say Doesn't matter anyway Cause I can't think of what to say

I've done what I promised to do I told you I'd write a nice song for you And I don't want to sound cliche But I've been thinking about you every night and day Don't you know how much I miss you? If you take the Atlantic, the Pacific The Baltic, Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea Put them all together that's how much I want you with me Remember all the times I said to you How much you meant to me well it all was true And I don't wanna make some big display But these feelings keep on growing more and more each day Don't you know how much I care about you? If you take Mount Everest, and Vesuvius The Andes the Alps and Kilimanjaro too Put them all together and that's how much I love you

Intense 01:21
I stare and I glower Look at me I'm so filled with power I'm strong on my guard Feel my arms I'm so fucking hard I'm almost as intense as Henry Rollins I'm not some weiner like Phil Collins My songs are so deep I'm so filled with anger I can't sleep I don't laugh I never smile Keep my emotions in a ball of denial I'm almost as intense as Henry Rollins I'm not some weiner like Phil Collins

If you're tired of being alone Its a feeling I've often know I've never been accused of being a ladies man So if you ever lose your common sense Why don't you give me a chance And I'll give you the best that I can If you have to settle settle for me I'm the best of the second best can't you see If you lower your standards a bit we could be so happy So if you have to settle settle for me I know I'm not the greatest guy I don't know why I even try I guess that I've not nothing left to lose I know that you've been biding your time' And I have just been wasting mine So maybe I'm a guy you could choose If you have to settle settle for me I'm the best of the second best can't you see If you lower your standards a bit we could be so happy So if you have to settle settle for me Well I'm not the best but I'm not the worst I know I'm not who you would have chose first But think of how much worse that you could do I know my mediocrity is not your ideal fantasy But if you say that you'll love me Then I will love you too

Used to see her at all the shows Now she never ever goes Julia's into hardcore now She used to come and see us play Almost each and every day Now she thinks my band is gay Julia's into hardcore now And I don't care anyhow I'm glad she's not part of our scene Cause she can be so mean Now she's down with a different crew She's got something better to do Than hang out with me or you See her kickboxing in the pit Watch her moving all that shit You know that she just won't quit You know she's trying to get an edge But she can't give up cigarettes Still she's got no regrets She's into all these tough guy bands She no longer understands All my feelings and my plans Julia's into hardcore now And I don't care anyhow I'm glad she's not part of our scene Cause she can be so mean

I've gone girl crazy today I don't know what I can say I think about them all of the time Can't seem to get them out of my mind Don't know what to do Cause I can't stop thinking of you I don't know what, what I can do Don't know what to say Its such a silly game I play I don't really care anyways I've gone girl crazy you see Is there something wrong with me I think about girls around the clock Is this feeling ever going to stop Don't know what to do Cause I can't stop thinking of you I don't know what, what I can do Don't know what to say Its such a silly game I play I don't really care anyways

about

Girl Crazy started out as a recording session to record a track for a Dead Milkmen tribute (again never released). We recorded Julia for the Crusty records comp and to fill out the time we added Relieve Myself. Later when the DM tribute didn't happen, we decided to book a few more days of recording to fill out the album, and remastered Girl Crazy from our live show on CITR to finish it off. This album really only had 50 copies make, we got our friend Dan to do cover art and he screened artwork directly onto CDR's, so we did this on the cheap. This album was recorded with Mr. Plow, but didn't come out until after he quit the band, and then foolishly decided to return again.

about

The Chick Magnets Vancouver, British Columbia

The Chick Magnets played from 1997 until 2002 (dates approx). Ken Insipid played Bass, Lucas Spinoff on Guitar, and the famous Mr. Plow on drums. The music was pop punk, like Buddy Holly meets the Ramones. Fun stuff: the melodies will get stuck in your head and the beat will get your toe a tappin.
