Song messages in the deluxe version of the ¡Uno! book
Nuclear Family
'Pick a summer... and summer... take a peek at the salt water and who gives a fuck... ya know? That's where this begins'
Stay the Night
'Haven't felt an impulse like this in eons. I guess that heart burn never goes away... just a bit caged'
Carpe Diem
'"Too young to die?" Well I say "aren't all too young to die?" Does the future have enough time to live in the moment?
Let Yourself Go
'How much can I pay you not to finish your story? You keep telling the same story over & over & over & over & over & over & over punch me in the fucking face!'
Kill the DJ
'Ah yes, which leads us to this 4 on the floor. Sometimes I could drink my way through this era. Take pills & fuck the noise away. And dance in the ashes of nonsense.'
Fell For You
'Wet dreams for the middle-fuck crisis. Keep your heart in a box with a lock on it for god's sake!'
Billie Joe also said something similar on the closing night of American Idiot on Broadway: 'Keep your fucking heart young, goddammit. Keep it fucking all comfy all the time. Don’t fucking stop, there’s a reason why that hand is holding the heart. It just keeps squeeze that motherfucker till it still bleeds every goddamn day.'
'I remember you drinking Olde English driving all the way out. Sunbathing at Pinole Shores. My Minnesota Girl. Always.'
Rusty James
'I read your book... it was a piece of shit. You traded that spiked belt in for a killer job at Pete's Coffee. Way to go! By the way, I've always wanted to smash your fucking teeth in. 🖤'
Oh Love
'Love like a good horror film.' / 'The tattoo wore off. More like "Oh well." I talked myself out of you. Even though I was never considered. Tension.'
