about

A lot has been written about Weezer's "lost" rock opera that was initially intended to be their 2nd album, but eventually was discarded and distilled into 'Pinkerton' in 1996. If you're curious, read here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_from_the_Black_Hole

This is a "Songs From The Black Hole" recreation, recorded from scratch, which incorporates material from all the released Rivers Cuomo demos, the full band Weezer demos for the project, the Pinkerton recordings, and information from the many pages of notes, lyrics and sheet music in "The Pinkerton Diaries" which was released last year (as well as a small amount of our own creative input). A bunch of people worked on this over a long period of time.

We recommend downloading rather than streaming if you want the full effect of the seamless transitions from one song to the next.

Perhaps I'll put up some more information about this later on.

Track Name: Blast Off!
[Jonas:]
Blast off!
Up to the stars we go
And leave behind everything I used to know
Somebodys giving me a whole lot of money to do what I think I want to
So why am I still feeling blue?
Oh, Wuan and Dondó!

[Wuan and Dondó:]
Goddamn, get your head out of your hand!
Here’s to all the times we’re gonna have
Cooped up all year with the two best lookin’ babes I’ve seen all year

[Wuan:]
Get me another bottle of beer
‘Cuz I’m feelin’ fine

[Jonas:]
Go ahead and waste your head
We’ve got the time
I hope you don’t object that I
Speak my mind

[M1:]
Don’t forget the purpose of the mission
Or Nomis will be swallowed by its sun
Each one of you is a top graduate of the Star Corps Academy
It’s up to you, it’s not up to me
Oh, Wuan and Dondó

[Wuan:]
Go ahead and waste your life on silly fears
I hope you don’t object if I crack another beer, yeah!

[Dondó"]
Hold on, who is it here that I see?
Wasn’t she your favorite bitch in the Academy?

[Jonas:]
I don’t know if I wanna lead on this woman
You know I’ve done that before
She’s actually a good girl

[Dondó:]
Or at least a cheap ho
Track Name: Who You Callin' Bitch?
[Maria:]
Who you callin’ bitch?

[Jonas]
Oh Maria, they don’t mean it
Don’t listen to them

[Maria:]
Oh they make me so mad
And you do nothing,
nothing to stop them

[Jonas]
Please, Maria, they mean nothing
now you must chill out
Especially Dondó
He acts like he knows that he has a big dick
I despise him, I despise him, I despise him
Track Name: You Won't Get With Me Tonight
[Maria:]
Who you callin’ bitch?

[Jonas:]
Dontcha listen to a word they say

[Maria:]
They make me so mad

[Jonas:]
they don’t matter to me anyway
Chill out baby, stay with me for a while
but that don’t mean I’ll get with you tonight

[Maria:]
I’m so pissed at those boys

[Jonas:]
Let me comfort you and hold your hand

[Maria:]
Especially that Dondó
acting like he knows he’s got a big thang


[Jonas:]
I know his type, you’re safe with me for a while
but that don’t mean I”ll get with you tonight
I want you so badly
too bad that you’re too bad for me
You love me and I like you
but I’ve got to getchoo, getchoo

[Maria:]
You know I love you so

[Jonas:]
Please remember that I’m just a friend

[Maria:]
A friend who’s in my pants?

[Jonas:]
Never more, never ever again
You’re too crazy for me to settle down with
so I won’t let me lead you on with a kiss
I want you so badly
Too bad that you’re too bad for me
You love me and I like you
but I’ve got to getchoo, getchoo
It hurts you so badly
I’m sorry you can’t have me
I won’t let me get with you tonight
