Appearances

Overview

"Porcupine" is first known to have been demoed in 2001 during pre-production on Maladroit. The song was worked on throughout the album's studio sessions beginning in December 2001. Six in-progress recordings of the song from these sessions were uploaded to weezer.com during the album's production, though the song did not make the cut.

Lyrics

C'mon, c'mon and tell me, girl
Did you believe it’s true?
When I was here in waiting, girl
When I was here with you

All the blood starts pumping
Can’t you see?
Yeah

Get out, get out and get some sun
‘Cause you be turning pale
Now that you see I’m in your face
Blacker than blackest shale

All the blood starts pumping
Can’t you see?

It’s a long, long time
Since we fell behind
If you’d spend some time with me
I wanna be with you

All the blood starts pumping
Can’t you see?

It’s a long, long time
Since we fell behind
If you’d spend some time with me
I wanna be with you
