The Impression That I Get

Who's heard this song? (If you've heard of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, you should know it)

I have...but instead of making a thread about one song, why not make a thread about the Mighty Mighty Bosstones?

No, it's actually called, "The Impression That I Get" and is the fourth track on the album "Let's Face It".

I have never listened to anything else by them. Heh, in fact, I first heard this song on Donkey Konga... they remade it ...the original version is amazing.

i've only heard the one tune...good tune though...but it was listed as knock on wood...unless thats a different song...but it had the line "thats the impression that i get" so i thought it might have been the same one

good song though...love the horn section in it

Mighty Mighty Bosstones › The Impression That I Get
From the album let’s face it

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
I’ve never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I’ve never had to knock on wood
And I’m glad I haven’t yet
Because I’m sure it isn’t good
That’s the impression that I get
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don’t possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You’ve got to rise above the rest
I’ve never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I’ve never had to knock on wood
And I’m glad I haven’t yet
Because I’m sure it isn’t good
That’s the impression that I get
I’m not a coward,
I’ve just never been tested
I’d like to think that if I was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a cowards,
I’m afraid of what I might find out
I’ve never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I’ve never had to knock on wood
And I’m glad I haven’t yet
Because I’m sure it isn’t good
That’s the impression that I get
