Fields with gin blossoms," referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. The band, who were musically weaned on The Byrdsand Tom Petty, released three albums and had several hits in the mid 1990s, before breaking up in 1997.

Fool for The Taking Lyrics
Gin Blossoms
Tangled up and twisted and I don't know what to do
I'm living with Marie Antoinette,
She's living with a fool
Life with her majesty has got one golden rule:
No matter what she will let me forget
That I can't have her cake and eat it too
Pre-chorus
Bring me in and take me down
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Chorus
I'm a fool for the taking
So, baby take me down
I'm a fool for the taking
I'm not that dumb, but I don't mind faking
A fool for the taking
Yeah, a king without a crown
A fool in the making
I can take what you give, 'cause you got me hypnotised
Wrapped in your velvet robe,
On your princess phone
Are you afraid to find out what might
Happen when I get you all alone?
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Repeat
