You were thinking what I was thinkin', Eisey. That's what happens when you're a 5-star.

Corey, report to the rock room.  You have work to do!!

I just have to say what a damn beautiful day it is outside today.  Naomi and I were just saying that it makes you feel sooo goooooood when the air is a bit cooler.  And last night was c.o.l.d.  It was awesome.

Here's what I can make of the lyrics using Eisey's as a guide.  I've listened to seven versions of this song and watched a video of them performing this song and some of those lines in unintelligible in all of them.  btw, in the 7-8-00 version he says that this one is one "that you'll probably find somewhere in the future.  It's called 'Lil Billy'.  It's about an old friend..."

Lil Billy

we were partyin down
Late one saturday night
Billy walks up to me
says its time to fight
...
bein all loud
bein an asshole
He's entertaining the crowd

so a friend walks up to me
says "make that billy bleed
me and my girl are gettin sick
you better make him leave or we gonna quit"

oh billy billy billy
when you gonna learn?
that a stupid fuck like you
you only gonna burn

you gotta lotta nerve boy
you gotta lotta nerve
come into my house
...

you gotta lotta nerve boy
you gotta lotta guts
if i was seventeeeeen
i'd really fuck you up

oh billy billy billy
when you gonna learn?
that a stupid fuck like you are
are only gonna burn

See how people change
People they grow up
People they do things
I ain't speaking of

But the greatest thing
I could ever ever...
Is to see you ...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

Thanks for all who worked these lyrics out.  They used to play this a lot, sometimes as the closer, in their early shows.  Then it just disappeared. I never had a clue what the lyrics were, but when hearing this live it doesn't matter.  All that attitude comes across loud and clear in the music.
