Originally lifted from and structured around Little Richard's "Directly from My Heart", then amped up to a Sonics fever, and finally dropped back down again to a grinding Jack White dirge, where it stayed. Add Beatle-bridge, and fin.
lyrics
ALL BAD THINGS
Been on a cloud of uncertainty
Been comin’ down to the harsh reality
I want out of this poverty
I want out — what’s goin’ wrong with me?
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt,
All bad things come in threes.
I got no work, the city towed my car,
I sunk so low I even stole a 12-string guitar
I wanna know why life’s got it out for me
I wanna cry — someone say a prayer for me
Ain’t no doubt, no doubt, no doubt,
All bad things come in threes.
I met a fine girl, took her out for drinks,
I spilled the wine, my card’s declined, and I threw up in the sink
I wanna know why life’s got it out for me
I wanna cry — someone say a prayer for me
Ain’t no doubt, no doubt, no doubt,
All bad things come in threes.
Baby, take a look at me, can’t you see I got a dream
I’m gonna be a star, just like we all are
But now I feel so down and out that it makes me wanna shout
Don’t close that door, I need you more, than ever, ever, ever, ever, ever before.
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt,
All bad things come in threes.
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt,
All bad things come in threes.
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt,
All bad things come in threes.
