The Bones ar… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 3 bands going by the name The Bones:
The Bones are a band from Karlskrona, Sweden. Since the kick-off back in '96, these guys have been on stage several hundred times all over Europe putting on an amazing performance. But the rise to success started in the fall of 1997 when they released "The Horrorway E.P." (own label), which sold out in just a few months. This success drove the guys to put out a second mini-album titled "Six feet down and two fingers up". During the recording-sessions for "Six feet down, two fingers up", the band was contacted by the german label " People like you Records (sublabel to Century Media Records).and in the summer of '99 The Bones signed the contract. The rock'n'roll circus was about to take off! Not content with this they also signed with german booking-agency, MAD. This crazy carousel made way for their first full-length album "Screwed, blued and tattooed" which, in turn, resulted in the band touring all over Europe gaining new fans wherever they went. The Bones was rattling the cage, making some noise
In the spring of 2002 The Bones released their second album "Bigger than Jesus", again the guys recorded at the PAMA-studio backed-up by "People like you". Great reviews were echoing from all over Europe but the album also attracted some great feedback from the U.S. Touring has continued and the band has headlined several festivals and toured arenas together with Die Toten Hosen. Live The Bones have also supported bands like D.A.D, U.S. Bombs for a whole european tour, shared stages with Motörhead, Roger Miret & The Disasters, 999, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects and so on... As you can see this is band a that play to live and live to play - down to the bone!

The Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One man down two to go now
Had nothing to worry about thought I was in control
What can I say? What can I do?
Shit I ain't like you
What do you want me to do?
I hear songs on the radio
Sweet, sweet love songs and they're telling me how it's done
But I don't understand that shit what those love songs are all about
What can I say? What can I do?
Shit I ain't like you
What do you want me to do?
Trying to do as it is written
Trying to say all the right words but it all comes out wrong
So hard to find a way to talk with you
But what the fuck another guy without a clue
What can I say? What can I do?
Shit I ain't like you
What do you want me to do?
What can I say?
Shit I ain't like you
What do you want me to do?
The lyrics to The Bones's song Zero to Ten appear to be about a man who is struggling to understand his feelings in a relationship. He admits that he didn't realize there was trouble before he met his partner and that he didn't see things clearly. One man down, two to go now, implies that he has been hurt in the past and is trying to move on, but he thought he was in control and had nothing to worry about until he met his current partner.
He hears love songs on the radio that are telling him how it's done, but he doesn't understand that "shit" and what those love songs are all about. He's trying to do what is written and say all the right words, but it all comes out wrong. He finds it hard to find a way to talk with his partner and feels like another guy without a clue. He repeats the line, "What do you want me to do?" implying that he is lost and unsure of what is expected of him in the relationship.
Overall, the song seems to be about a person who is struggling to understand their own feelings and the meaning of love. They feel lost and unable to express themselves effectively, despite their efforts to do so.
