Spin Doctors - How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?) Lyrics

absollutey inspiring

I love this tune so much

A bass with a whammy bar??

Well, Frances? How? #LooseTeacher Mmmmm Frances

It's incredible how underrated this song is.

Faintly resemblant of Nickel Creek.

I hate that they got lumped in with all those shitty jam bands. They crafted songs, and great ones. The early to mid nineties was a great era for music.

They were alternative to me

try indonesia you will see crowd

Comment ai je pu oublier cette chanson 25 ans?

singer has an awesome voice

Music of Spin Doctors are extra ordinary. Are they still working in 2019?

Yeah, they are. I'm seeing them Saturday in Cali

Thanks, Dan.

Nice guy anthem

It's a shame that the only song you hear on the radio now a days is "two princes", which I think is awful, this one & "little miss can't be wrong" are way better.

Where is this place????

This whole album is slightly my life anthem.

I'm quite contented to take my chances
Against the Guildensterns & Rosenkrantzes
It's a matter of Cain & Abel
And I can feel your knee underneath the table

He doesn't dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

See the pigeons peck & peck to pay the dues
They peck a little extra to resole their shoes
He's with the pigeons pecking crumbs
I'm on my deathbed bleeding with the cherubim

He doesn't dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

Ferocious angels send me falling stars
But I know just how dangerous wishes are
Ferocious angels watch me come and go
But I'm not too smart to go barging off of roof tops, though

Sit out September on the window sill
'Cause you can't drink wine from a two dollar bill
Saint Christopher lives on the end of a quill
Leave him a diamond in your last will

He doesn't dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

How could you want him when you know you could have me?
How could you want him when you know you could have me?
How could you want him when you know you could have me?
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

Sarah Dorman Thanks for the lyrics!

I had a feeling in the end of the video when that girl was taking the Polaroid of the band, she was going to capture the other three members in the picture and leave the lead singer out. Either way, she obviously cared less about him the whole time.

Everything about this song is beautiful. The music, lyrics. Wonderful. Every guy has been here before

Awesome!! Thanks Chris.

24 years and i still remember every word, every note...

this is song is so damn good I miss 1991 :(

He looks like Catweazel, but I'd prefer him ;)

(One of my favourite songs of all time)

SPIN DOCTORS.......HITMAKERS!

most underrated band of all time, maybe. this song is so beautiful ahhhhhhhghghgh

No arguments please. This is their best song.

This song was made in 1993

Tyler Buck The music video is from 1993 but the song itself was recorded in 1990 and on the album released in 1991...

You guys still ROCK ....NY State Fair 2017 (/03/2017 <3

Hell of a band, pocket drummer par excellence, massively skilled and funky bassist, and a friggin' underrated phenom on guitar...but a health stricken front man and an uneven stage presence...LMCBW was practically a novelty tune and no body knew what they wanted from this band. Their foray into the blues later was just great, though...

I take it that British Actress from 'Girls' is some sort of time traveler...

Video slightly reminiscent of temple of the dog. Song reminiscent of sting

The song brought me here.

This song is perfect. But the outro starting at 3:55 with that little guitar riff is soooo good!!!! What a fantastic guitar player Eric Schenkman is!

so good! i havent heard this since i was about 12, what poetic lyrics!

Somewhere in Oregon many years after this song was released I am still playing it, and feeling the same old refrain.

Thanks Dan!

Man, I love this song.

an ultimate anthem for the friend zone

I'll admit it to Dan. This is the perfect kind of music to listen to in the car.

Wow, it's nothing but grumps comments below.

THERE WAS A BOSTON MARKET AD ON THIS VIDEO

Thank you Danny Sexbang!

oh shit this is actually good

Oh great Danny sexbang, thank you for placing this song in my life

Hey Grumplets... I'm glad to see this band get a little more attention, they really are pretty cool ^^

weird moment when you're not even 20 and you share a childhood song with a 40 something guy.

love ya, sexbang.

THE GRUMP BUMP COMMENCES ONCE AGAIN

Never heard the song before, but it gave me a weird sense of 90's nostalgia. Thanks for the reference, Dan. Also, I want Boston Market, now.

#buttsex

Thank you Game Grumps!

Mechi Aram Tell me where he refferenced this song plz

Game Grumps ☺

HEY LOVELIES! Thanks Danny Sexbang. I always knew you had fantastic taste in music.

This is the first comment before the Game Grumps wave.

I love how it says somewhere in france aswell

I had to look it up as well lol.

+A Player 69 I see you're in my territory now, welcome. But remember, this is *my* thing.

good job you got it in before the masses XD

Oh man the feels. This song was my high school anthem.

Great band and song!I cant stop repeat this song!

Bea u tiful

Decades later my heart still breaks every time I've watched her chuck the picture.

Can we all agree that Eric Schenkman is the most underrated guitarist of the 90s?

yo raffetto very underrated man

I put him up there with the black crowes guitarist, and Matthew sweets guitarist

@retrostu yes I agree wholeheartedly. From Jimmy Olsen's Blues until hard to exist .... it's just total hypnotic guitar playing. I bought the CD in 1992 and was totally enthralled by their musicianship

Drummer is fantastic, too. I out him up there with Green day drummer

Such an under-rated band. Great song.

"I've never been as high as the Spin Doctors"
- Willie Nelson (probably)

As a young, sensitive 13 year old, this song made me feel empty and hopeless about how girls/women refuse to see how truly romantic some boys/men are. Things have got worse since then with materialism. I'd rather be on the road with the Spin Doctors in our Mystery Van like Scooby Doo.

What are you saying 'eugh' for? I wouldn't want to be with a rat - or someone who thinks themselves to be a King Rat- that's for sure. Eugh to your username.

you're 13, why the hell are you worrying about romance at that age

also my username is named after a song

@King Rat I was 13 in 1991 when the song came out. Maybe I didn't have quite such formed ideas of women at that age but, on the whole, I do now! Exceptions to this are very refreshing but men are often more romantic than woman despite the stereotype.

Oh my gods, I can't believe how much I STILL love this song after 20 years

😎💖🎶This 💩 is EXTREMELY GROOVY🎶💖😎

Me too!.

great great great song!

I remember these guys, WoW !

One of my all time favourite songs. I love that riff and the cool bass and the lyrics and the chord progressions and bendy voice and... everything. :)

im with you under me! this guy looks like one of my old boy friends.

At 2:06 in the video, I felt really uncomfortable :/

hahaha xD

lol I wrote this 3 years ago :-)

heh the lead singer looks kinda like a cross between Theon Greyjoy and Shaggy from Scooby Doo

Yeahh love him

Such a wonderful song!

I completely forgot about this song. I don't think it was on the radio (or at least not often) back in the early 90s and I think I only saw the video a few times. Kind of like finding some lost treasure.

By far the best song of the 90s IMHO :)

Who's the female love interest? She's hot!

This is the jam.

I've loved this song for forever. Lyrically perfect. <3<3

One of my favs , the 90's rocked , and rocked it did... " See the pigeons peck and peck to pay the dues...." " he doesn't dangle by the Seraphim..." far out lyrics....

How could anyone want someone else when they could have one of these foppish quasi-hippie goofballs?

Song rules, but I can definitely see how a girl would pick someone else. Personality only goes so far. lol

de acuerdo contigo ROLAND GABRIEL,, marcaron  la década del 90, los SPIN DOCTORS,,, INOLVIDABLES !!!!!!!!!

UNA DE LA MEJORES BANDAS DE LA DÉCADA DE LOS 90´S.......... 
Y UNA DE MIS FAVORITAS........YEAHHHHHHHHH

I never knew Blade could play the bass?!

A1phawolf it was his original profession before the band broke up. It's why he is so spiteful.
