This song is a direct reference to the movie “High Fidelity” starring John Cusack.
In the movie, John’s character chronologically lists his all-time five greatest break-up list. He states that “Number five with a bullet” is his recent ex-girlfriend, Linda, as an unexpected and unplanned breakup.
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara]
We're gonna die like this, you know
Miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you
Really gotta hand it to you
Well, are you positive?
Absolutely sure?
Well, just get dressed, don't do this
Well, just get dressed, don't do this
[Verse 1: Adam Lazzara]
Spent the night lit listening to Miles Davis
Said it makes you want to fall in love
Or be smart enough to keep your distance
You can't decide, you can't decide
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
We're gonna die like this, you know
Miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you
Really gotta hand it to you
Well, just so you know; Are you positive?
When we get home; Absolutely sure?
We're through; Well, just get dressed, don't do this
We're through; Just get dressed, don't do this
[Verse 2: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Well, it's a long way back South and to where I belong
Well, yeah, you've been there once or twice And you still don't like it
I say you just never gave it a chance
Well, “Give me a chance,” give me a chance?
Besides, did you ever stop to think
That we can keep this up living like thieves?
But you can't decide, you can't decide
No, you can't decide, well, you can't decide
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
We're gonna die like this, you know
We're gonna die like this; Miserable and old
Miserable and old; Really gotta hand it to you
(Miserable and old); I really gotta hand it to you
Well, just so you know; Are you positive?
When we get home; Absolutely sure?
We're through; Well, just get dressed, don't do this
We're through; Well, just get dressed, don't do this, ahh…
[Bridge: Adam Lazzara, Adam Lazzara & Fred Mascherino]
Are you positive?
Absolutely sure?
Are you positive?
[Break: Adam Lazzara]
We're gonna die like this, you know
Miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you
Really gotta hand it to you
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Well, just so you know; We're gonna die like this, you know
When we get home; Miserable and old
We're through; Really gotta hand it to you
We're through; Really gotta hand it to you
And just so you know; Are you positive?
When we get home; Absolutely sure?
We're through; Just get dressed, don't do this
We're through; Just get dressed, don't do this
[Outro: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Just so you know; We're gonna die like this
When we get home; We're gonna hit or miss it just in spite of it
We're through; We're gonna die like this, miserable
And old and old, (miserable and old)
Well, just so you know; We're gonna die like this (miserable and old)
When we get home; We're gonna hit or miss it just in spite of it (miserable and old)
We're through; We're gonna die like this, miserable
And old (miserable and old)
