"Getting Up and Leaving" is an unreleased Weezer song written in 1993 by Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson. Band recorded a live demo during Blue Album pre-production session and later, in 1996, a studio version during Pinkerton sessions. Along with I Swear It's True, song was consider a b-side for "Pink Triangle" CD single. Song remains unheard by fans, known only from sheet music Rivers posted on his MySpace. The song has been performed live very early on in the band's career, however a bootleg has never surfaced. One such occasion was at a Chicago club show at the Metro in either 1994 or 1995. It is often considered to be one of weezer's "holy grails" of unreleased demos. On November 25, 2008, on the eve of Alone II's release, the song was attempted but aborted due to most fans at the show being unfamiliar with the song. Rivers did, however, do a full a capella version after this.

Lyrics

<lyrics>My life is changing And I'm feeling blue The things I wished for Have come true

Stop! I really really wanna go back Back to where I belong

Now I'm getting up and leaving I'm leaving home Now I'm getting up and leaving I'm leaving home

Dont blah-blah-blah Dont read no books Dont call my baby On the phone

Stop! I really really wanna go back Back to where I belong Stop! I really really wanna go back Back to where I came from

Now I'm getting up and leaving I'm leaving home Now I'm getting up and leaving I'm leaving home</lyrics>
