The Beach Boys - Caroline, No (Brian Wilson, Tony Asher)



Where did your long hair go?
Where is the girl I used to know?
How could you lose that happy glow?
Oh, Caroline, no

Who took that look away?
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline, you

Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline, why?

Could I ever find in you again
The things that made me love you so much then?
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone?
Oh, Caroline, no

Top 5 song of all time for me. Perfect backing track, composition, vocal performance, and lyrics. Iconic outro with the dog and train sound effects. I love everything about this song and have listened to it for hours on end at points lol.

[Intro]
My life...
Is going to end
To the only end
With my brains on the wall

I'll go
Far away
Far away...
From this world
This f***ing world

[Chorus]
You...
Will finally understand
How miserable...
I've felt...
Only when i kill myself

[Guitar solo]
Im tired...
Of everything
Im tired...
Of everyone

My inner voice...
Tells me...
"Kill yourself... you worthless piece of shit!"
