HERE COMES A REGULAR Lyrics

Artist: The Replacements
Album: Tim

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

by Oth <3 on 7/4/2008 11:52am Rest in peace Ellie Harp
by Huh? on 7/7/2008 11:15am What's One Tree Hill? Some TV show? You kids... get off my lawn! :) Seriously though, this is a great band. I recommend their greatest hits album "Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?" if you're interested in hearing more from them.
by Dalma on 7/7/2008 12:57pm another OTH fan, i just love the song, ellie rip!, and vampirella you're right remind knocking on heaven doors
by Emz on 7/8/2008 1:45pm Rhea - i agree; one tree hill fans all the way lol. Blesssssss. This is my favorite song, i love it. (:
by ellielove on 7/10/2008 2:17pm this song kinda reminds me of an alcoholic.
by Masochist on 7/16/2008 5:19pm this song was great long before OTH, but i must admit that it fit perfectly with that episode. favorite song of all time!
by navi on 7/30/2008 6:37pm R.I.P Ellie :(
by DELIAH on 7/31/2008 9:10pm THIS SONG IS AWESOME! I SAW THE EPISODE TODAY IT WAS REALLY SAD. BUT I REALLY LOVED THIS SONG WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT. IT WAS ACTUALLY MY FIRST TIME HEARING IT AND I LOVE IT NOW! RIP ELLIE! OTH IS THE BEST!
by ALSOTHFAN on 8/1/2008 12:38pm Love the song, love OTH!!!! Love the way the always seem to fing the PERFECT song to go along with the episodes. Can't wait till the new season
by kamilla-OTH-fan on 8/6/2008 7:14am love this song, my favorit. -one tree hill has opend med eyes to a hole new world of music. love the show
by mary on 8/24/2008 9:47am this is kind of supposed to be apart of the site meant for The Replacements, not for OTH. And ELLIE IS A CHARACTER! SHES NOT REAL!
by Joe on 8/28/2008 6:14pm I agree with Mary.. RIP Mats.
by Jonathon on 8/29/2008 4:15pm At least Paul isn't dead. Still banging away in the basement where he belongs.
by vasundhara on 9/6/2008 10:05am i felt so bad when ellie died. may her character rest in peace !
by sotasaurus on 9/6/2008 5:30pm " OTH?" seriously, folks. the album from whence this song came is like a long minnesota winter and should be listened to in that context. brutal and blinding but cozy and safe....like fake wood paneling!
by Jason on 9/19/2008 2:47pm I'm guessing anyone who mentions OTH is 15 years old. Seriously....check out the Replacements not because of a TV show. At least it did introduce you to a great band.
by Nickey on 9/27/2008 4:10am This song I think is so sad...My sister watches that "One Tree Hill" and when she heard me listening to this song she started crying ! at least that show has good music!
by Your dad on 10/4/2008 11:40am I love one tree hill man, you guys are just haters.and for the rest you guys are PIMPS for watching OTH. lmao
by nick on 10/12/2008 11:56pm great song with multiple means!
by Laura :) on 10/13/2008 3:01pm I do love OTH, but I had been listening to the replacements long before :) Brilliant song by an even better band :D
by Anna on 10/17/2008 6:15am I didn't really know the replacements before I heard here comes a regular on that show, one tree hill. It is just as silly tv-show, but they do have some good music on it. the character peyton has a good taste of music, and maybe one tree hill sucks and so on, but don't ya think it's good that it spreads out the music? it keeps it alive, and gives the people who didn't know it, the opportunity to get to know it.
by Sadie on 10/17/2008 2:00pm yeah seriously, don't you know who i think i was and tim are awesome albums by the replacements are great albums, and sure, one tree hill is the shit but really RIP Ellie? That's not how this somng should be remembered because Ellie is a fictional character, hello!
by hbuhb on 10/19/2008 1:18pm ='/
by gillian on 11/2/2008 12:19am dude. this song sounds like it's about an alcoholic BECAUSE it's about an alcoholic. fuck one tree hill. RIP bob stinson
by anonymous on 11/28/2008 10:31am hey try to be nice to each other.
by Lynda Whitaker Land on 11/28/2008 9:03pm This is/was about me and a time in my past-It's about a lot of "Regulars."
by razieel on 12/4/2008 6:20pm lol... fellow oth fans. But no seriously this song is awesome. I just found it hillarious that just about every comment was posted by an OTH fan.
by whoknows on 12/6/2008 3:56am it's just like people being introduced to damien rice because of Lost
by 1reg2another on 12/11/2008 9:19pm who cares if they heard if from some TV show...it's a great song that has made it's way to the minds of a new generation. That's the true test of great music and for that reason they will live on long after we are gone just like Bob Dylan.
by Evan on 12/15/2008 5:47pm This is one of the most gorgeous, heartfelt recordings I've ever heard. I hate One Tree Hill with a fiery passion, but the Replacements are one of the greatest bands of all time. Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Slim Dunlap all have some pretty killer solo stuff too.
by catiee. on 12/20/2008 11:03am it's a good song and it was perfectly placed in the show that will give it justice of what a good song it is.
by MacMurtray on 12/23/2008 1:51pm mats rule, one tree hill is for figure skaters and people who do like, balloon animals just for fun
by elliee on 12/27/2008 2:04pm Get a life honestly! Its a great song & a great show but seriously, its not worth endlessly commenting this site because of it. Grow up people, everyone has opinions you can't change.
by Serena on 1/3/2009 8:12pm oh, well. would anyone admit that OTH is awesome? and not for the funny parts nor the sad ones. it learns every kid (even if it's actually a grown up) what we must value in this life and how to live it... just how it is. without regrets and without ... i don't know. to live it our way. even after u've been through alot, u still can find awesome things in this tv-show. it's realistic and educational. even if u think u achieved one age and adolescent shows are... shitty(?), at least give it a try. if this were a crap of a show, where from all that good music? come on, people! :) and yes. this song is awesome!
by <3missing youmt on 1/4/2009 4:53pm great song. reminds me of someone a lot. Laid back music is just what someone needs sometimes.. and that someone is me. love it.
by rockforever on 1/12/2009 8:31pm It is what it is. Awesome song. And admittedly, I too heard it on OTH first. I like the show partly because of all the music it has introduced me too! I knew the band before but started digging up songs after I'd been reintroduced. Also: it doesn't really matter how you hear about it, a great song is a great song. :)
by rEvI : IN LOVE WITH MUSIC!!! on 1/20/2009 12:33pm well,i'm a song lover ... it is just a great feeling, falling in love with a new song..at this moment i am actually listening to the song and i just leave myself enjoy the music and the lyrics, leaving my heart feel whatever it wants.love,pain,whatever.. do the same..do not not be bothered by the people who disagree with u on a site like this one..enjoy the song befor it ends..
by alyssa on 2/3/2009 6:04pm i love the replacements. this song is amazing. all of their songs are good, but my other favorites are "alex chilton" and "bastards of young."
by JAD on 2/7/2009 9:23am I love OTH...because of elli i now know this gr8 song...the mood from the episode is so depressed...everytime i listen to this song...i get this weird/bad feeling! D= DAMN! OTH ROX...
by daniela on 2/7/2009 5:25pm i love this song so much
by twtrwrhgw on 2/9/2009 8:56pm i also love one tree hill. and i am thoroughly obsessed with it.. and it makes me look at music in a whole new way.. my itunes library has certainly expanded thanks to one tree.
by ??? on 2/15/2009 7:26am i didnt know that all of u saw OTH and heard this song
by Answer on 2/18/2009 6:07am Wow!! this song is awesome i really like it, it makes my tears come out
by eli on 2/22/2009 9:00pm really a very good song!
by Danny on 2/23/2009 11:53am Yea, I saw the one tree hill episode too when ellie died. Peyton's emotion when she found her dead wasn't all that good though, it was more psychopathic then sad... But o well, enough about OTH but more about the song. I love the song a lot and I listen to it all of the time. But the ritm isn't so good I think. It has to be a little bit more variated... But o well, the song is great anyways.
by Emily... on 2/26/2009 11:47am Heard of the Replacements before OTH, like OTH and the Replacements. I'm not 15 years old and know good music when I hear it. The lyrics of this song and pauls voice send a shiver down my spine.
by ...............so??? on 3/3/2009 12:02am this song is so strong without having to shout out the lyrics and it's it my favorite sing. I liked the replacments before oth but I still love oth! Yipppeeee
by Jerry Conrad on 3/4/2009 1:12pm Awesome song, and for those of you who do not like one tree hill, just think of it this way, we probably dont like that shit you watch either but does those shows spread the great music of past and present around like the CWs One Tree Hill? NO. so go back to your trailor park and shut the hell up.
by AmyC on 3/5/2009 10:45am Gorgeous. Makes me miss my friend Keith @ JR Mac's in St. P, who died last week.
by Ben on 3/23/2009 8:50am been listening to this song for 20 years now and each time it take me in a little deeper, much like the subject in the song. the imagery becomes more and more vivid. pretty amazing observation given that westerberg was only 25 when he wrote it. there's a lifetime of observations in there. don;t need a tv show to tell you that. but, hey, however you get there...
by Richie Isaacs on 4/1/2009 10:56pm Wonderful song, helped me learn a lot about someone special...
by KMH on 4/18/2009 9:43pm Every time I walk out of a bar at last call and the bite of a fall, or winter wind hits me, I think of this song. Thank you Paul, Bob, Tommy and Chris. I, too, have been listening to this classic for 24 years.
by Hannah on 6/12/2009 6:24pm amazing song, im another oth fan! :)
by DTG on 8/1/2009 12:47pm Loved this song in my high school/college years, y'know, when it was new. Now as a middle age guy who is a regular (albeit only twice a week), I've met my fair share of "Sad Eyes", and it seems a much sadder song.
by Robert on 8/14/2009 10:17pm What the hell is One Tree Hill? Man, the 'Mats "Let it Be" album pretty much caused me to drop out of college and start a band all those years ago (gee thanks, guys ; ) ). Use to do this one in yet another band years ago. Looked it up to get all the lyrics again to include it in an acoustic set. Paul Westerberg may be the most underrated songwriter of his era.
by povertyrich on 9/28/2009 10:16pm About the C.C., maybe?
by Mark on 10/27/2009 4:51pm What the hell? This was on a TV show? Anyway, Amazing song. Westerberg is a genius.
by truman on 11/9/2009 12:11am JESUS CHRIST YOU GUYS, love this song cause of the band not some tv show...(westerberg IS a fucking genius)
by jason on 11/16/2009 11:33pm Westerburg and the Replacements had such a huge influence on so many bands. Sad, they were in their prime when you could only hear them on college radio. There WAS no alternative radio. Never saw OTH, but if it gave the Mats SOME of their due, I can't complain.
