About Freakin' Out

"Freakin' Out" is a song by Graham Coxon and was released as the lead single from his fifth solo album Happiness in Magazines in 2004 (see 2004 in British music). It was released as a very limited 7" (only 5000 copies) and charted at number 37 in the UK Singles Chart. "Freakin' Out" was later re-released as a double A-side with "All Over Me" (see Freakin' Out / All Over Me). For many years, it has been used as the theme song in the opening titles of G-Spot, an entertainment/ents programme broadcast by Glasgow University Student Television. The limited 7" (which made the song a #37) was the first single since the 2002 release of "In the City" by The Jam to chart in the UK Top 40 solely on a limited 7" release. It is also the second single after "In the City", that peaked at #36, to chart on a limited 7" in the UK Top 40 since the late 1970s.

Nothing to see, nothing to hear
Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
Nothing to loose, nothing to gain 

Nothing to feel, nothing to hate
Nothing is real, it's all too late
What do you do, when nothing's wrong?
Ain't got a clue, ain't got no song 

You're foaming at the mouth
You're mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freakin' out
I'm going out of my mind
TV's got me going blind
And I'm really freakin' out 

Hey man you think you got it made
Cool beard you stick on your phantom face
Got on your aviator's shades
Yeah man, your looking really ace 

So what the hell you doing here?
Filling the space between my ears
Why don't you all just disappear
Plus all your friends just way to dear 

You're foaming at the mouth
You're mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freakin' out
I'm going out of my mind
TV's got me going blind
And I'm really freakin' out 

Nothing to see, nothing to hear
Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
La la la la, la la la lie 

You're foaming at the mouth
You're mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freakin' out
I'm going out of my mind
TV's got me going blind
And I'm really freakin' out
