“Stuck in a Rut” is the 7th song off 2003’s Permission to Land.
The basic theme of this song is being sick of where you’re at and just wanting to leave.
A very similar theme is explored in a later song, “Living Each Day Blind” from 2012’s Hot Cakes.
[Verse 1]
Well, kiss my ass, kiss my ass goodbye
Propelled by a carriage of aluminium, am I
No more to rot in this sty
I'd turn my back on this shit-hole in the blink of an eye, ow!
[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme the keys
You ain’t gonna see me for dust
The Barnby Bends ain't gonna get the better of me
Oh, gimme the keys
To any old bucket of rust
Acle Straight gonna take me to where I wanna be
[Chorus]
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for eternity
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for eternity, yeah
[Verse 2]
Well, the road is long, and the lights are bright
Just 'cause you've lived here all your life, doesn't make it alright
And the golden mile is paved with shite
Don't mind telling you
I'm sick of walking up and down it, every single fucking night
[Pre-Chorus]
Just gimme the keys
You ain’t gonna see me for dust
The Barnby Bends ain't gonna get the better of me
Oh, gimme the keys
To any old bucket of rust
Acle Straight gonna take me to where I wanna be, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for eternity, ow!
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for eternity, yeah
[Bridge]
Master?
Kill me, Master, kill me
Ooh, thank you, Master
Thank you, Master
[Maniacal laughter]
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for eternity, oh
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for eternity, yeah-ow
