Brian Wilson — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

Words and Music by Steven Page,

Just to check out the late-night record shop,

But when I`m surrounded I just can`t stop

It`s a matter of instinct, it`s a matter of conditioning,

Chorus

Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late-night record shop,
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
But when I`m surrounded I just can`t stop
