Dave Grohl has said that this is about cunnilingus, which is the female equivalent of fellatio. Listen to the lyrics, and you'll hear the innuendoes: "I love it but I hate the taste," "Over and over down on my knees." Another song on this subject: "Red-Headed Woman" by Bruce Springsteen. The Foo Fighters performed this on Saturday Night Live in February 2003. Two days later, this won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. Said Grohl when asked about this track: "That song is a little dirty. Use your imagination!" One By One was the Foo Fighters' second consecutive album to win a Grammy for Best Rock Album. It was also their first #1 album in the UK. >>
All my life, I've been searching for something Something never comes, never leads to nothing Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close Closer to the prize at the end of the rope All night long I dream of the day When it comes around and it's taken away Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most Feel it come to life when I see your ghost Calm down, don't you resist You've such a delicate wrist And if I give it a twist Something to hold when I lose my grip Will I find something in there To give me just what I need? Another reason to bleed One by one hidden up my sleeve One by one hidden up my sleeve Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Will I find a believer? Another one who believes Another one to deceive Over and over, down on my knees If I get any closer And if you open up wide And if you let me inside On and on, I got nothing to hide On and on, I got nothing to hide Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down All my life, I've been searching for something Something never comes, never leads to nothing Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close Closer to the prize at the end of the rope All night long, I dream of the day When it comes around and it's taken away Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most Feel it come to life when I see your ghost Then I'm done, done, on to the next one Done, done and I'm on to the next one Done, done and I'm on to the next one Done, done and I'm on to the next one Done, done and I'm on to the next one Done, done and I'm on to the next one Done, done and I'm on to the next one Done, I'm done and I'm on to the next Done, done, on to the next one Done, I'm done and on to the next one Done, done, on to the next one Done, I'm done and I'm on to the next Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Done, done, on to the next one Done, I'm done and I'm on to the next
