Red Hot Chili Peppers : On Mercury
Intro : Bm, G, A, F#
Bm G A
I've got myself In a masochistic hold
F# Bm
Why don't you let go
G A
Shake it off Just to redirect my flow
F#
Come on let's go
Bm G
Sit up straight I'm on a double date
A
I've got to find my way
F#
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
Bm G
We don't stop rock around the clock
A F#
Motor mouthing off In front of every other road block
G F#
Come again and tell me what you're going thru
G F#
Like a girl who only knew her child was due
Bm D A G
Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury
Bm D A F#
Come to me with remedies from five or six of seven seas
Bm D A G
You always took me with a smile when I was down
Bm D A F#
Memories of everything that blew thru
Bm G A
Looking up into a reverse vertigo
F# Bm
What an undertow
Give it up another stubborn scorpio come on, let's go
Sit up straight I'm on a double date I've got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don't stop rock around the clock motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block
G F#
Come again and tell me what you're going thru
G F#
Like a girl who only knew her child was due
To the moon she gave another good review
Turn around and look at me It's really really you
Bm D A G
Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury
Bm D A F#
Come to me with remedies from five or six of seven seas
Bm D A G
You always took me with a smile when I was down
Bm D A F#
Memories of everything that blew thru
Fill : Bm, G, A, F# x2
Bm G
Sit up straight I'm on a double date
A
I've got to find my way
F#
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
Bm G
We don't stop rock around the clock
A F#
Motor mouthing off In front of every other road block
Bm D A G
Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury
Bm D A F#
Come to me with remedies from five or six of seven seas
Bm D A G
You always took me with a smile when I was down
Bm D A F#
Memories of everything that blew thru
Bm D A G
Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury
Bm D A F#
Come to me with remedies from five or six of seven seas
Bm D A G
You always took me with a smile when I was down

| I would just like to add this about the "give it up, another stubborn Scorpio".. I think that Anthony, who is a Scorpio, was dating another Scorpio while writing By The Way because there are several references to Scorpios, for example in this song and in Midnight. | |

| this has gota b one of my favourite songs they've ever done. the lemon tree bit, i would imagine, is some reference to heroin, as he used to prepare it using lemons from the tree outside his house. I don't know if someone's already said it, i havnt read thru properly, and i dont even no that thats true, im just telling u all my take on it. its kiks ass, this song. another classic chili peppers masterpiece. | |

| i love the peppers...theyere so kool cause they are the randomest band iknow wen it comes 2 song writing. they jsut put any old words 2gether, they is rarely a meaning 2 their songs. there just so random ud be silly 2 try and find one. or it wud be by coincidence. i mean think about it.."..Looking up into A reverse vertigo What an undertow Give it up Another stubborn scorpio..." its very random and wat as scorpios got 2 do with vertigo? nothing..it just rhymes. FUNKY song though. i think its ska-ee kinda music. i dont hear any obvious trumpets but its got a funky rhythm 2 it that makes u want to do the ska dance! | |
