It's Good But It Just Ain't Right - The Hellacopters

I WANTED THE WOMEN

TO GO ROUND THE WORLD

GOT THE BOAT DOWN TO HELSINKI CITY

WITH BOYS WHO ACT LIKE LITTLE GIRLS

IT AIN’T QUITE WHAT I PICTURED

AIN’T QUITE WHAT I HAD IN MIND

I REALIZED THAT THE CLOSER I GOT

THAT CLOSE HAS THE TASTE OF REAL CHEAP WINE

CLEARLY — NEARLY

I OPEN MY EYES BUT ONLY SEE THINGS BARELY

I CAN SMELL IT BUT I DON’T GET HIGH

I KNOW IT’S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN’T RIGHT

ENDED UP WITH A DONKEY

WHEN MY MIND WAS SET ON A HORSE

BARGAINED AND BEGGED FOR A PONY AND I RODE IT

WITH A FAKE SMILE ON ONLY WANTING MORE

I’VE HAD IT WITH JUST ABOUT RIGHT NOW

MODERATE WON’T GET ME NO FAR

BEEN THROUGH ALMOSTS, OKAYS, IN BETWEENS, NIGHS AND DECENTS

BUT CLOSE JUST AIN’T NO CIGAR

CLEARLY — NEARLY

IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE ONLY WORKS IN THEORY

I CAN SEE IT EVEN SHINES A LIGHT

I KNOW IT’S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN’T RIGHT

CLEARLY — NEARLY

I OPEN MY EYES BUT ONLY SEE THINGS BARELY

I CAN SMELL IT BUT I DON’T GET HIGH

I KNOW IT’S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN’T RIGHT
