Little Black Backpack
Stroke 9 Lyrics


Well I know it, it's a shame
A shame I can't show it,
I see it, I can see
It now but I'm so far below it

Don't want to, don't want to talk about it,
I say why not,
Don't want to think about it,
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack up,
Smack, turnaround he's on his back and

Don't want to tango with you,
I'd rather tangle with him,
I think I'm gonna bash his head in,
And this shouldn't concern
You except that just don't expect to get
Your bloody black backpack back

I can feel you, yes I can what about that
Don't you understand,
And I sense you,
Its something sensual but its less than I
Planned

Don't want to, don't want to talk about it,
I say why not,
Don't want to think about it,
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack up,
Smack, turnaround he's on his back and

Don't want to tango with you,
I'd rather tangle with him,
I think I'm gonna bash his head in,
And this shouldn't concern
You except just don't expect to get
Your bloody black backpack back

You're trying to find a reason for the way you feel tonight,
You're mind is lined with layers of lead,
Have you heard one thing that I've said

Don't want to talk about it,
I say why not,
Don't want to think about it,
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack up,
Smack, turnaround he's on his back and

Don't want to tango with you,
I'd rather tangle with him,
I think I'm gonna bash his head in,
And this shouldn't concern
You except just don't expect to get
Your bloody black backpack back (twice)

The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.

Robert Burch

Right on…….didn’t have to make alot of sense, something about the way the songs understood how we felt.

Maggie Lou

I want the 90’s bloody back, back, back, back!

Melon Baller

This song barely existed in the 90s. It's like when VH1 would play songs from Duran Duran's 1993 album during "I Love the 80's". Also, I think you mean that you want the 90's bloody back pack back. Which sounds kinda cool.

I remember this song from when I was a kid. I'm 31 now and it's still awesome and brings back good memories
