I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed i was
With the day before
It feels new
I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows either
It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means i hate people
But that's not quite right
I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this i know
I got a dog
I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble
I'm turning out just like my father
Though i swore i never would
Now i can say that i have a love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead
It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So i though i'd better tell you
Before i leave
So in the end i'd like to say
That i'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what i had
I knew true love and i knew passion
And the difference between the two
And i had some regrets
But if i had to do it all again
Well, it's something i'd like to do
The lyrics THINGS THE GRANDCHILDREN SHOULD KNOW of EELS is also present in the album Blinking lights and other revelations - disc 2 (2005)
Gli Eels sono un gruppo rock alternativo formatosi nel 1995 dal musicista e cantautore Mark Oliver Everett (conosciuto anche come Man Called E, Mr. E o semplicemente E; figlio del famoso fisico Hugh Everett III). Everett ha fondato gli Eels con il batterista Butch Norton e il bassista Tommy Walter (conosciuto anche con lo pseudonimo Abandoned Pools) quando la sua carriera solista ebbe un rallentamento. Il gruppo ha rapidamente raggiunto la fama con l'uscita del loro primo album *Beautiful Freak* nel 1996, quando una traccia dell'album, "Beloved Monster", è stata utilizzata nel film *Shrek*. Tuttavia, il loro secondo album, *Electro-Shock Blues*, è considerato il capolavoro degli Eels. Scritto durante un periodo di grande tragedia personale per Everett (la sua sorella si suicidò e sua madre aveva un cancro ai polmoni terminale), l'album esplora temi di dolore, perdita e speranza con una profondità emotiva rara. Gli Eels hanno pubblicato sei album in studio, l'ultimo dei quali è stato *Blinking Lights and Other Revelations* del 2005. Questo album è un viaggio personale nell'spiritualità e nella sanità mentale di Everett, ed è stato accolta dalla critica ma non ha avuto successo commerciale. Alcuni dei brani più rappresentativi degli Eels includono "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues", "Novocaine for the Soul", "Souljacker Part II" e "Climbing to the Moon".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
