Easy
Faith No More Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know it sounds funny but, I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole, and I borrowed, yeah, uh

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning yeah, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, whoa, oh babe

Eh

Oh, uh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah




That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Yup, that's Mike Patton doing all the backup vocals and the beatboxing.
Hell, he even did it live with Bjork:

Maybe not the kind of music you like but you gotta admit...


You need to give that Bjork album a listen. Except for piano on one song, there's no instruments; all vocals...the whole damn album.
How come nobody remembers Peeping Tom? ::::

Do they still play? There was video uploaded just a couple years ago. I had tickets to see them in Vegas but they cancelled. I was pretty disappointed.

This was played at my fiancé's funeral in 2019. Faith No More were his absolute favourite band - he was in his 40's when he passed away and he still had posters of FNM all over the walls just like when he was in his 20's ❤❤❤
