Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999). Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mangcame out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska".

Nervous in The Alley Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Shes 15 and shes leaving home
Living on the streets where she dont feel alone
Daddys always gone and mommys on the sauce
Living in a mansion its easy to get lost
Shes going to a place where they understand
Babys on the way her wombs a garbage can
Who said anything about a good life
This ones bad bad bad bad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend
Nervous in the alley off the boulevard
Shaking all over and the panic starts
You see she needs to get her prescription filled
And she knows exactly how shell be billed
Nervous in the alley waiting for a fix
She aint got no money just a couple of tricks
Who said anything about a charmed life
This ones sad sad sad sad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend
Who said anything about a good life
Who said anything about a charmed life
Who said anything about a fair life
Its mad
Dying in the alley waiting for her man
Carrying her child and a sleeping bag
Should have would have could have never crossed her mind
So she passes on to the other side
Here he comes suit shades car and a beeper
Sugar daddy pimp pushing f***ing grim reaper
Who said anything about a fair life
This ones mad mad mad mad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new friend
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - shes got herself a new best friend
