After becoming instant Top 40 material with their driving hit Right Now and the lesser-known Politically Correct on their first album, the band slowly shied from the limelight for its second album, part of the reason the third album was not released in the US.
In recent days lead singer Mitch Allan has pursued a solo career, reworking some SR-71 songs and creating some of his own. SR-71 split in 2007, but reformed in 2009.
The name of the band came from SR-71 Blackbird, a retired supersonic surveillance aircraft of the United States Air Force.
Current Members:
* Mitch Allan - lead vocals, guitar
* Pat DeMent - guitar, backing vocals
* Mike Ruocco - bass, backing vocals
* John Allen - drums, percussion, backing vocals
Former members:
* Dan Garvin - drums, percussion, backing vocals (1998–2001)
* Mark Beauchemin - guitar, keyboards, backing vocals (1998–2003)
* Jeff Reid - bass, keyboards, backing vocals (1998–2003)
Here We Go Again
SR-71 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By Friday she was mine
Saturday she spent the night
And everything was fine
By Sunday she was on my nerves
I want to be alone
Tuesday's here it's been a week
Why won't she go home
In the bedroom she's faking
All the good ones are taken
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I just want a normal girlfriend
But here we go again
The start of week two
She cooks me dinner at her pad
But I can't believe its just so
I can meet her mom and dad
So I sat her down and told her
I just want to be friends
Today when I got home
The crazy bitch was movin in
In the bedroom she's faking
All the good ones are taken
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I just want a normal girlfriend
But here we go again
Dear God I'm so ashamed
I'll do anything to get laid
In the bedroom she's faking
All the good ones are taken
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I just want a normal girlfriend
But here we go again
The lyrics of SR-71's Here We Go Again tell the story of a man who quickly falls for a woman he meets, but soon realizes he's made a mistake. The relationship moves too fast, and he realizes she is not the one for him. By Sunday of their first week together, she is already getting on his nerves, and he longs to be alone. By week two, he wants to just be friends, but she appears to be taking the relationship to the next level, even introducing him to her parents. The singer feels ashamed of the situation, but can't seem to resist her, despite knowing she's not a good match for him.
The lyrics of the song examine the concept of ‘faking it,’ both in the bedroom and in relationships in general. The lyrics “In the bedroom she's faking, all the good ones are taken,” suggest that the woman in question is just going through the motions, trying to fulfill some sort of social expectation or live up to a certain image. This also suggests that the singer has learned to keep his guard up and not believe everything he sees on the surface. The phrase “Do I have freak stamped across my forehead?” captures the singer's exasperation with the situation, implying that he feels like he's marked with some kind of unappealing quality that attracts women like this into his life. Ultimately, Here We Go Again speaks to the repeated cycle of getting involved with the wrong people and the frustration that comes with it.

I met her just last Wednesday
I started dating her recently, just a few days back
By Friday she was mine
Our relationship escalated quickly and by Friday, we were officially dating
Saturday she spent the night
We spent the whole night together on Saturday
And everything was fine
Things were going pretty smoothly for us
By Sunday she was on my nerves
However, soon after, she started to become irritating and annoying
I want to be alone
I need some space to myself
Tuesday's here it's been a week
It's been a week since we started dating and I'm feeling suffocated already
Why won't she go home
I wish she would go back to her own place and give me some breathing room
In the bedroom she's faking
Whenever we are intimate, she's pretending and not being genuine
All the good ones are taken
It seems like all the good, authentic people are already in relationships
Do I have freak stamped across my forehead
I feel like I must have something written on my face that attracts weird and phony partners
I just want a normal girlfriend
All I want is a genuine, sincere partner
But here we go again
I've fallen into the same pattern of attracting fake and difficult people into my life
The start of week two
We're in the second week of our relationship
She cooks me dinner at her pad
She's trying to impress me by cooking dinner at her place
But I can't believe its just so
But deep down, I know that her gestures are not genuine and sincere
I can meet her mom and dad
She's already thinking about me meeting her family
So I sat her down and told her
I had a serious discussion with her
I just want to be friends
I realized that I'm not interested in a romantic relationship with her
Today when I got home
When I got back home later, after the conversation
The crazy bitch was movin in
To my horror, I found out that she was already planning on moving in with me
Dear God I'm so ashamed
I feel like a failure and embarrassed about the situation
I'll do anything to get laid
My desperation for a sexual encounter is making me make bad decisions
