Stabilo – Paperboy Lyrics 19 years ago
The lyrics should actually be:

Instead of:

"Ask why
You don't wanna talk about the things that make you cry
You're never really sure about the reasons all the while
Same thing
Except the main intention, yours wasn't meant to cut it"

They SOULD be:

I ask why
you don't want to talk about the things that make you cry
I'm never really sure about the reasons or the why
Same thing, except the main intentions, yours, was meant to cut"

ALSO:

"And I'm screaming at the side of the page"

SHOULD be:

"And I'm screaming at the sight of the print in the corner"

AND....

"A senior guy but I can't relate" SHOULD be:

"I've seen you cry but I can't relate"

AND....

"The car with the cans on the back and the sign just bearing my expectation
Pull to the side possibly for like everyone else ask the simplest questions "

SHOULD be:

"The car with the cans on the back and the sign just buried my expectation
It pulled to the side pausing briefly like every one else asked the simplest questions"

------

Anywho... one of my fav's on the album :)

Matchbox Twenty – Long Day Lyrics 19 years ago
I always thought that this song was about someone whose girlfriend or whomever broke up with them... and they are basically telling their side of the story... explaining their reasons for acting the way they do, basically saying, hey, this is me, this is the way I am, take me or leave me.

The best thing about Matchbox 20 songs it that they can be interpreted in so many different ways...

My favourite line is "Reach she said for no one else but you,
Cuz you won't turn away When someone else is gone"... I just love it.

Matchbox Twenty – Back 2 Good Lyrics 19 years ago
In relation to what utasteadrenaline said about a "Drinking and Cheating song" - I completely agree with that. I always thougth that the song was basically about going out to a bar or something thinking of cheating or cheating...

"And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like
They do" - Basically saying people are mad at someone for cheating on them when they have done the exact same thing.


"If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do"

Basically saying if you see me out later... pretend not to know me and let me figure out what I'm gonna do.

To me "back to good" just means how someone is going to get it back to good after they've cheated...

Jack Johnson – Times Like These Lyrics 19 years ago
In times like these,
In times like those,
What will be will be,
And so it goes...
And it always goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on it goes.

And there's always been laughing, crying,
Birthing, dying.
Boys and girls with hearts that take
Give and break.
Heal and grow and recreate.
And raise and nurture,
But then hurt from time to...

Times like these,
Times like those,
What will be will be,
And so it goes...

And there's always been stop and go,
And fast and slow,
And action, reaction,
Sticks and stones
And broken bones,
Those for peace and those for war,
God bless these ones, not those ones, but these ones...
Man...

Times like these,
Times like those,
What will be will be,
And so it goes...

And it always goes
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on it goes...
Mmmmm....mmmmmm...

Jack Johnson – Holes To Heaven Lyrics 19 years ago
In response to BarbiErica1 comment about the lyrics, there are several versions of this song, and in one of them he does say "Well there we were in South Batong, Where Women are men and men go wrong", so ya...

The correct lyrics from the Album are:

The air was more than human
And the heat was more than hungry
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
The bulls were running wild
because they're big and mean and sacred
and the children playing cricket with no shoes
The morning we woke up man
To a seven-hour drive
Well there we were stuck in Port Blair
Where boats break and children stare

And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to
heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to
heaven, mmm

Disembarking from the port
with no mistakes of any so
Moving southly engine running smooth
Officials were quite friendly
once we drown them w/ our sweet talk
and we bribed them w/ our cigerettes and booze
The next morning we woke up man w/ the sunrise to right
moving back north to port blair
where boats break and children stare

And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to
heaven, mmm
and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to
heaven, mmm

Jack Johnson – Fall Line Lyrics 19 years ago
There is actually a second verse to this song:

Somebody saw him jump, ya, but nobody say him slip
I guess he lost a lot of hope, and then he lost his grip
And now he's lying on the freeway in the middle of this mess
Guess we lost another one just like the otherone
Optimistic Hypocrite who didn't have the nerve to quit
The things that kept him wanting more until he finally reached the core
And feel across the fall line
Ain't there nothing sacred anymore
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Lifehouse – Stanley Climbfall Lyrics 20 years ago
for losers always make the winner's day - SHOULD be "Four losers always make the winner's day".

This is my fav song on their new CD. Like a lot of lifehouse songs, this song can be interprested in many differenent ways. To me, it's about life. "stand, climb, and fall" That pretty much sums up what life is all about....

Cat Stevens – Wild World Lyrics 21 years ago
Awesome song... This song has been around for ages and is MUCH better than Mr. Bigs version which can't even compare.

I'm with sarahcrawford16 on the daughter leaving home... "and I'll always remember you looking like a child girl" ... maybe I'm wrong.. but thats just how I've always interpreted it.

Makes me sad as I'll be leaving home soon......

Good Song.

Bon Jovi – Livin' On A Prayer Lyrics 21 years ago
I'll admit... I love the cheesy '80's stuff. There used to be this really awesome bar where I live that just played '70s and '80s shit, but then It closed.. boo. Luckily, some bars still play this song and the crowd still goes CrAzY...

And to pumpkingirl... sux to be you... in Manitoba (Canada for all you fools out there) the legel drinking age is 18!! Hahahahaha...

And JessieLynn, :-p , is supposed to be a face with the toung sticking out.....

Bryan Adams – Summer Of '69 Lyrics 21 years ago
I Can't believe more people haven't commented on this song... It's a CLASSIC people!!

I think everyone can relate to this song. It's great and makes you think back on awesome times you've had... and think that ya, those really were the best days of my life... ahh memories...

As for Bryan only being 9 in 1969... I agree with marissay in that it could be a '69 car... It could also be just an ambiguous year he chose to use... kinda gives the song a good ring, it just wouldn't be the same if it was "summer of 78" or " summer of 81"... you get my point... just a thought.

Don McLean – Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Lyrics 21 years ago
I dont' know what scream_like_conor is talking about.. this song was written about Vincent Van Gogh, not about Don Mcleans friend... just looking at the lyrics will tell you that.

Amazingly written songs... Don Mclean writes some of the most amazing lyrics EVER and has a way of capturing things like on one else.. lyrics like poetry... this song more than proves that.

Peter, Paul and Mary – Puff (The Magic Dragon) Lyrics 21 years ago
I COMPLETELY agree that this song is about loss of innocence NOT weed... what the hell is wrong with you people.. not every song is about sex or drugs... and I don't know who considers smoking weed as "losing their innocence"... "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys."... please find me a quote about loss of innocence = smoking weed in this song.. thats what I thought.

Faith Hill – A Man's Home Is His Castle Lyrics 21 years ago
This is a sad song about a woman who's husband abuses her, but she still stays with him even after he threatens to kill her. It's like so many sad relationships in which the woman is too afraid to leave her abusive partner.

Tim McGraw – The Cowboy In Me Lyrics 21 years ago
This is an AWESOME song.

It's about living life and not worrying about what comes next.... because you are enjoying the ride... the ups and down... the urge to run, restlessness, not liking what we see of ourselves sometimes... it's all part of being human.... and if you fall then so be it because at least you've taken the ride and have no regrets of what you might have missed - "We Ride And Never Worry About The Fall, I Guess That's Just The Cowboy In Us All." (best line in the song of course)

The Chicks – Top Of The World Lyrics 21 years ago
This song is from a man's perspective who has died and he is looking back down on life at all the things he regrets doing."I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud but that won't happen now" and "I wished I'd a known you Wished I'd a shown you
All of the things I was on the inside".

The songbird I believe is his wife. He looks back and sees that he has "broke the wings off that little songbird".... he wants to go back and "grab a hold of that little song bird. Take her for a ride to the top of the world".

This is an AMAZING song!!

Oleander – I Walk Alone Lyrics 21 years ago
This song is about a guy who's girlfriend broke up with him because he doesn't know who he really is without her "won't heal until i'm stronger strong enough to not be afraid of what anybody thinks of what anybody says
about the way about the way i am". When his girlfriend broke up with him he learned how to "walk alone" -"had to learn it from the one who let me go now i walk alone, yeah i walk alone, yeah". Now that he has learned to be his own person and understands her reasons for breaking up and he wants to get back together, but is leaving that decision to her and respects any decision she makes - "oh i leave it up to you yeah i leave it in your hands respect your wishes and your demands."
