Screwdriver is a song by The White Stripes. It can be heard on the band's first album, The White Stripes.
Band Quotes
- Jack White : "We were just goofing around. We just started doing this riff and there was this screwdriver laying there in the room so I started singing about it - what I'd do with it - ya know being angry. We thought it sounded really good and we thought why don't we work on this."
- Jack White : "I'd got threatened that week, just walking up the street and Screwdriver was retaliation. This feeling that I owe somebody I don't even know something, and at the same time my life is threatened. Like the line, 'I love people like a brother now/But I'm not going to be their mother now.' I don't need to owe anybody, I need to protect myself."
Facts
- Sometimes, in concerts, during the "I got a little feeling going now" part, Jack will add in : "I got a little feeling going now...Meg's got a little feeling going now...".
Lyrics
Tuesday morning now I gotta have somewhere to go now I call up Tommy now I call him on the telephone Won't you wake up and come with me now I'm goin' to the pawn and loan Walking down thirty three Walking on thirty o (yeah) What am I supposed to think I drop a nickel in the sink I love people like a brother now But I'm not gonna be their mother now What if someone walked up to me And like an apple cut right through me I'm not just gonna stand there grinnin' Cause I'm not the one who's sinnin' Screwdriver whoo-hoo...hoo-hoo... Now that you have heard my story now I've got a little ending to it now Whenever you go out alone Take a little dog a bone And think about your little sister And then you got to drive it home Screwdriver I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now I got a little feeling goin' now Now now
