Wilson Wilson talks about Daily Jobs

‘Daily Jobs’ is the opening track of the new album DAY RIPPER out on Wild Honey Records on October 8th, and it encapsulates its sound and themes in the space of just over three minutes. Inspired by artists like The Uranium Club, Coneheads, The Sueves, Gee Tee, DEVO, and… Blink 182 haha.

This song, and the album as a whole, are basically the summary of our lives in the last couple of years, split between working in a factory during the day and playing our music at night.

Sonic Boomerang: Is that, like, Sonic the Hedgehog’s new weapon? A new shake from that burger drive-in? Psychedelic punk-rock whipped into the abyss and returned with aerodynamic force?

NPR on Bee Bee Sea’s Sonıc Boomerang album

We had the verse riff from long time before but we never managed to find a decent chorus until we had this idea of slowing down the tempo and glue this melodic chorus which is one of the best we’ve ever written. Wilson (singer/guitarist) wrote the lyrics during the work shift and and it is there that the plot is mostly set or cited with references scattered here and there. As it can be seen in the video made by Francesca Papi it appears twice a flag with a sock on it; this is because the town where we come from (Castel Goffredo) is the Italian hosiery district and where most of its inhabitants (Wilson included) is employed.

Lyrics: Daily Jobs

raised inside a maze
just like mice
where everything reminds me back
those days that place
living in a factory
living in a factory

loose
i got news
i got the blues
i got everything inside my bag
whatever stuff in my mind
i can be electric, what did you expect?

by now he knows
i’m such a mess, i can’t be stressed by
all these laws and rules
i’ll never understand
it would make me go…
i’m feeling like the only thing
i’ve ever done is
living in a factory
living in a factory

dad
it’s me and dad
my dad and mum
they give me everything i’ll ever want
they got a duck
they got a dog
they’re all living in a factory
living in a factory

fuss!
no offense
god bless
it’s everything that i’ve ever had
my head, my bad
i can be electric, what did you expect?

loosing control, i’ll do it in my way
rock n roll, it’s here to stay
i think i might consider from time to time
i think i might consider be back
what did i say?
i can be electric, what did you expect?

knows he knows
i’m such a mess, i can’t be stressed by
all these laws and rules
i’ll never understand
it would make me go…
i’m feeling like the only thing
i’ve ever done it won’t be enough for just one life

loose
i got news
i got the blues
i got everything inside my bag
whatever stuff in my mind
i can be electric, what did you expect? by now
