This was the song the band Spoon “really struggled with” while recording Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. This led them to record the song three different ways, including a “space rock” version found on the bonus disc and heard distantly at the end of the album arrangement.
[Verse 1]
Life can be so fair
Let it go on and on
I can push for good
You got that cherry bomb
[Chorus]
Blow out that cherry bomb for me
We lost it long ago
You and me
[Verse 2]
Now you know your way
Back from the spirit bar
Brush your teeth for bed
Blow out that cherry bomb
[Chorus]
Blow out that cherry bomb for me
You got to know it's on your sleeve
Know it's on your sleeve
Know it's on your sleeve (Come on, come on)
[Bridge]
It was the longest day that I'd ever known
I watched you start that drive alone
[Chorus]
Blow out that cherry bomb for me
It's going to burn right up your sleeve
Burn right up your sleeve
[Verse 3]
So there you go again
Out in your dressing gown
Get yourself to bed
Blow out that cherry bomb
[Outro]
Oh, life could be so fair, let it go on and on
I could pay to that hand on your cherry bomb
Oh, life could be so fair, let it go on and on
I could pay to that hand on your cherry bomb
