| The Killers – Sam's Town Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The lines, "Red, white, and blue upon a birthday cake / My brother was born on the Fourth of July, and that's all" makes me think that the brother died when he was a baby. Like, he was born, "and that's all"; he never got to live his life. But that would be in conflict with the lines before it, "I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake / I never really knew anybody to die before." But I suppose that Brandon may have been very young when his brother died, if it happened at all, or just the fact that the baby died meant that no one really got a chance to get to know him because he was alive for such a short time, and no one can really get to know a baby anyway, in my opinion. | |
| The Killers – Sam's Town Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
You seem to think that Sam's Town is a big city like London or New York, but Sam's Town is actually a dumpy casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's away from the strip where all the tourists are, so most of the people who go to Sam's Town are people who live in Las Vegas. The Killers are from Las Vegas, by the way. I've always interpreted the lines, "I see London, I see Sam's Town / Holds my hand and lets my hair down" as another example of Brandon's sentimentality and nostalgia for his hometown because Sam's Town is probably something he's familiar with, and it probably comforts him to think of Sam's Town when he's homesick. In this case, to me, London makes him homesick, but then "seeing," or thinking of Sam's Town comforts him ("holds my hand and lets my hair down"). |

| The Foxboro Hot Tubs – Pieces of Truth Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I used to think the line "Little pieces of sticks and a bucket of stones" was "Little pieces of sex, man, I fuck to the Stones." ("I fuck to the Stones," as in having sex while listening to the band The Rolling Stones). Haha. I'm glad I know the correct lyrics now. | |
| The Killers – Believe Me Natalie Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
My theory on the "There is an old cliche under your Monet, baby" line may be a bit far-fetched, but please hear me out. Monet was a painter, and from what I understand, Natalie is a go-go dancer or a stripper or someonme who works at a club, so Natalie's "Monet" might be her work . . . ? The cliche/sterotype that comes with it is that strippers sometimes prostitute themselves as a way to make extra money in addition to stripping/dancing, and many people assume that prostitutes have STDs. So in short, "There is an old cliche under your Monet, baby" means that she is in a way, expected to contract AIDS because of her job. That's my take on it. |

asdfg: "there are lyrics for this but i cant work em out, on youtube.com" B12 is right -- there are no lyrics for this song. You must be confusing it with "Interlude," (Track 8 on the album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge) which comes right before "Thank You for the Venom" (track 9 on Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge). "INTERLUDE" DOES have lyrics, but "ROMANCE" DOESN'T. |

| My Chemical Romance – Our Lady Of Sorrows Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The lyrics are wrong. Here are the correct lyrics: We could be perfect one last night And die like star-crossed lovers when we fight And we can settle This affair If you would shed your yellow Take my hand and then We'll solve The mystery of Laceration gravity This riddle of revenge Please understand it has to be this way And Stand Up fucking tall Don't let them see your back And take My fucking hand and Never be afraid again We've only got one chance to put this at an end And cross the patron saint of switchblade fights You said, "We're not celebrities We spark and fade They die by threes" I'll make you Understand And you can trade me for an apparition Stand Up fucking tall Don't let them see your back And take My fucking hand and Never be afraid again "Trust," you said "Who put the words in your head" Oh how wrong we were To think that Immortality meant never dying Stand Take my fucking hand Take my fucking hand and never . . . That's about right. |

| Fall Out Boy – I Don't Care Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Has anyone realized that they came REALLY close to ripping off "Drain You" by Nirvana? Nirvana: "I don't care what you think UNLESS it is about me." FOB: "I don't care what you think AS LONG AS it's about me." That kinda pisses me off. |

| The Clash – Rudie Can't Fail Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There's a girl in my class who just moved here from Jamaica and I asked her what a rude boy was and she said rude boys are gangsters. Then I asked her what a rudie/rudy is in Jamaica and she said rude boys and rudies are the same thing. She was from a town that's about a two-hour drive from Kingston. She told me the name of it but I forgot. I also asked another girl in my class who has family from the "ghetto" (as she put it) parts of Jamaica and Iasked her what a rue boy and a rudie are and she didn't know what I was talking about; she had never heard those terms before. But then she said maybe it's a gang. DON'T GET MAD AT ME!!!! I'm just telling you what a few people who know Jamaica first-hand told me. Maybe they don't say "rude boy" and "rudie" there anymore, or not in the areas they're familiar with. |

| My Chemical Romance – Heaven Help Us Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It would make sense for this song to be about Joan of Arc. But here's my take on it: "Hear the sound. The angels come screaming. Down your voice. I hear you've been bleeding. Make your choice. They say you've been pleading. Someone save us." I imagine someone dying slowly in a hospital. "The angels come screaming" when they "hear the sound" of death, or sense the person's impending death. Perhaps the person can't breathe very well on their own anymore, so they have tubes and oxygen helping them breathe, and they bleed eveytime a new tube is put in. Meanwhile, the relatives of the patient have been pleading for God to make his choice not to let the dying person suffer anymore and to save the familly from too much more emotional pain. "Heaven help us now. Come crashing down. We'll hear the sound. As your falling down." Everyone involved wants Heaven to help them get through such a hard time, and they can "hear" Heaven come crashing down to take the dying person. "I'm at this old hotel. But can't tell if I've been breathing or sleeping. Or screaming or waiting for the Man to call. And maybe all of the above. 'Cause mostly I've been Sprawled on these cathedral steps While spiiting out the blood And screaming 'Someone save us!'" The dying persomn is being so heavily medicated that they're really out of it and they "can't tell if" they've "been breathing or sleeping or screaming or waiting for the Mabn to call. And maybe all of the above." The "old hotel" isn't a hotel, it's the hospital."The patient is waiting for God ("The Man) to call him home. Perhaps one of the more miserable family members of the patient is the one "sprawled on these cathedral steps screaming 'Someone save us!'" Or it could also be that the patient dreams of laying on the cathedral steps screaming for someone to save us. "And will you pray for me? Or make a saint of me? And will you lay for me? Or make a saint of me?" The patient is asking if his family will pray for him and if they'll make im a saint in their books. "'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need Cover me in gasoline Wipe away those tears of blood again And the punchline to the joke is asking Someone save us" "The punchline to the joke is asking 'Someone save us'" because the patient is going to die very son and it doesn't make any sense for anyone to ask for God to save him. "And would you pray for me? (You don't know a thing about my sins) (How the misery begins) Or make us say don't leave? (You don't know) (So I'm burning, I'm burning) And will you lay for me? (You don't know a thing about my sins) (How the misery begins) Or make a saint of me? (You don't know) ('Cause I'm burning, I'm burning)" The patient is once again asking their family to pray for them, and perhaps a priest who doesn't know the patient is givig them their last rites and tht's why he's saying to the priest, "You don't know a thing about my sins, how the misery begins." "'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need (I'm burning, I'm burning again) Cover me in gasoline again" The patient's condition is deteriorating and is saying nonsensical things? |

| The Clash – London Calling Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Some of the lines contradict themselves, like "The Ice Age is coming, the sun's zooming in. Meltdown expected; the wheat's growing thin. Engines stopped running . . ." Every time I hear that part, I think of someone walking down the street and hearing bits and pieces of other people's conversations about what's going on. Someone thinks the Ice Age is coming, another person says the sun's zooming in, and "meltdown expected, the wheat's growing thin, engines stopped running" sound like things heard on the news, like a weather forecast and two breaking news updates, maybe. As for the "but I have no fear, 'cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river" line that everyone's so confused by, I really don't see what's so confusing about it. Even though London's drowning, he has o fear because he lives by the river, so he most likely won't suffer as much because he will be one of the first to die when the river overflows. |

| The Foxboro Hot Tubs – 27th Ave. Shuffle Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Easy-Lucky-Free, I don't think the "I just wanna hang my head and cry" line has anything to do with Johnny Cash. Because, if you look at the whole line ("Well if you call this living, I just wanna hang my head and cry") and then the line "Voices in my head are telling me that I am lost. Pills and alcohol are making me a lost cause," it seems like he's saying, if all there is to life is being drunk and high and stuff all the time, he just wants to cry bevcause that's a sad, crappy, pathetic life to live. | |

| I think it's pretty obvious that this song is abut a guy breaking up with his girlfriend who got him into a lot of trouble (Digging trouble with your shovel you serve it up in so many different ways) and now he knows she's bad news and he "got so burned" that he learned to just tune her out and ignore her pleas for threm to get back together. | |

Also, the lyrics are SLIGHTLY incorrect. I think it's supposed to be: I don't need a reason, to be a misfit. Whatever the reason, how far I go. When it's my time then I will let you know. It don't take a genius to be an idiot. It don't take a jesus to save my soul. When it my time, then it's my time to go. Pedestrian is what I am. An understated Samaritan. Where I go, I go alone. As long as I am taking my time. I don't have the answer, but please consider it. I listen to reason, the reason is true. I take my time, well now it's time to go. |

I agree with CateJello65 (and no, it's not weird that you think tha. It actually makes a lot of sense.) You're born, you live, and you die. When it's your time, then it's your time to go. |

| The Foxboro Hot Tubs – She's a Saint, Not a Celebrity Lyrics | 16 years ago |

To me, it kinda sounds like some kinky fantasy or role-playing game. "I will be the leper. Read me my last rite. A crippled believer. Gimme sight. Woo!!" "Marie, full of grace and sin. Throwing caution to the wind. Marie, I'm crucified. Drink my blood coming from my eyes." *Shudders at the mental images conjured up by the verse.* Even though it makes me think of some kinky fantasy, I like the rhythym of it. |

| Which makes me wonder, why exactly is the word "MEN" in "MEN-struation"? Has anyone ever thought about this before? | |
| The Foxboro Hot Tubs – Red Tide Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Adrienne (the lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's wife) must've had really bad PMS and been extra bitchy, 'cause otherwise that means it took him almost 14 years to write about her "red tide" as he calls it. Unless the song is about someone else other than his wife being on the rag, although it seems like a man's wife's menstrual cycle would be the only woman he would dare write a song about if it was going to be about menstrution. I mean, no one's ever gonna write a song about their mother's time of the month, or their sister's, or their aunt's, or their best friend who's a girl's time of the month. | |
