Why Bother (demo) - Rivers Cuomo

Found this on my computer; thought I could share one of these

[@slob5041]

Some of the lyrics are more interesting than what came out, especially how it switches to don't bother in the second half.

[@RollerJoester7]

this makes me believe more that why bother was written in the context for songs from the black hole

[@casseroleofthegalaxy]

“It’s gonna kill when you desert me” that absolutely HAS to be for SFTBH

[@Benjarmon]

The first four songs on Pinkerton were written for SFTBH

[@jimjamjako]

oh it definitely is

[@stanknugget]

I know I should get next to you
You got a look that makes me think you’re cool
I know it’s not the sexual attraction
Somethin real, that I know I’m lackin
Why bother?
It’s gonna hurt me
It’s gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won’t happen to me anymore
I’ve known a lot of girls before
What’s the harm in knowing one more?
Maybe even we can get together
And you can make my heart next summer
Why bother?
It’s gonna hurt me
It’s gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
Won’t happen to me anymore
It’s a cryin’ shame I can’t talk to you
It’s not a matter of fear, I’ve done once baby
Won’t you knock me on my head?
Bang it open let me outta here now
Don’t bother
It’s gonna hurt me
It’s gonna kill when you desert me
Dontcha bother
It’s gonna hurt me
It’s gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won’t happen to me anymore
Why bother?
It’s gonna hurt me
Why bother?
It’s gonna hurt me
Why bother?
It’s gonna hurt me
Why bother?
You’re gonna hurt me

[@eyeheartchappellroan]

YOU’RE GONNA HURT ME I LOVE THAT

[@angelmateoduranstanzione]

I love how he says the word "next' in the first part i'm in love with this man's voice I'm straight but I want to marry a man with this voice

[@angelmateoduranstanzione]

He looks like walter white in season 5 of breaking bad

[@mungofinalfi4480]

At first I thought it was Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA in the thumbnail.

[@deadsiocled6940]

[@ChillagerTheScot]

what if instead of cooking meth walter white went into a singing career to pay for his cancer treatment
