Thanks a Lot Lyrics

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
The clothes she wears mis-fit
And she's nervous when she speaks

Her zombie mom and dad
Live in a separate house of freaks

I woke you up
And I slit the throat of your confidence
And we laughed in the night
And I felt all right

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Thanks a lot
You don't even know
Thanks a lot

[Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan]

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
I'm the one for you
Cause I know all the dirty things you like to do
I'm the fear in your eyes
I'm the fire in your flies
I'm the sound that's buzzing around your head


[Break]
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
You don't even know
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Salazar: A real tape flange where we would put a cassette tape in and run it at the same time as the two-track and weave it in and out to get a natural tape flange on the bass breakdown on “Thanks a Lot.” Hendrix used it all over his records.
