Lyrics for I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Lig... as interpreted by BrandNew1208

I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Lig... Lyrics
The time has come for colds and overcoats
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home
Another week away, my greatest fear
I need the smell of summer,
I need its noises in my ears

If looks could really kill,
then my profession would staring
Please know we do this cause we care,
not for the thrill
Collect calls to home
to tell them that I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die and die alone

And we won't let you in
though we're down and out
No we won't let you in, in
You win, you win, you win

I wrote more postcards than hooks
I read more maps than books
Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should've took
Every minute is a mile
I've never felt so hollow
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles
My secrets for a buck
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
on this stage. Yes, I am paid to spill my guts
I won't see home till spring
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
but I am paid to make girls panic while I sing

And we won't let you in
though we're down and out
No we won't let you in
and we won't let you in
We don't want what isn't ours
We won't let you in, in
You win, you win, you win

Oh...

And the coastline is quiet
While we're quietly losing control
And we're silent but sure
we invented the cure
that will wash out my memories of her
The harpoon is loaded, the cage is lowered,
the water is red-
like you

i like this song, Brand New's frist CD was amazing and this one is good too. but the first was better, this isnt the punk-rock power band that's from my home town. but this music is powerful, i like it.

I love how this cd has a different sound - their first cd was great, but it seems like the first was more pop-ish & this one shows them matured with much better lyrics.

i am confused by this song. i understand that there are parts of it that are obviously aimed at touring and the whole "business" aspect of music. but the chorus just confuses me, cause who are they not letting in? The Fans? that doesn't make too much sense to me. a loved one? but there isn't any other mention of a certain person and it is we not I. so i don't the chorus just confuses me... any clarification?

definitely more emotion on this album... i feel this is probably the weakest song on the album. but that doesnt say much cause the album is unbelievable.

i love the new album i got it 2 days ago and i havent let it outta my sight. there is a new sound but i like it..it shows that they hve matured and arent staying the same..so i like both the first album as much as the second because it gets me ready for a show..but this is a lot better to chill to, so they both have their upsides.

when i first heard the cd a few months ago i couldnt believe it was brand new. now i love this cd. i have played it non stop for the last month. and this song is amazing. it would be 10x more amazing if i was in a touring band cause im sure this is how a lot of bands feel about touring

I think this song is about being homesick. It sounds like they are on tour and they really wish they could be with their loved ones and away from their fans. It also, in a way, seems like he (Jesse) is regretting being in a band because he wishes that he could live a normal life.

This song is just about lonliness and missing your home. But parts of this song make me go WHOA cause he's almost mocking the fans "i'm paid to make girls panic while i sing" "Im paid to spill my guts" maybe he is regretting being in a band because the fans are annoying.

obviously this song is about touring and being homesick, in another way i think it is about not wanting to selll out... not wanting to become another one of "those" bands.... my reasoning

We don't want what isn't ours
We won't let you in, in

meaning we arent going to let fame in... because we dont believe we deserve it. the whole make girls panic while i sing thing also makes me think that. could be totally wrong though. just my interperation but then again who wouldnt want fame?

i love the line, im paid to make girls panic while i sing, because i can just PICTURE the annoying girls at the shows screaming about how hot jesse is.. hahaha brand new rocks

please know we do this cause we care not for the thrill.... omg

its about touring... they dont like it but they do it for their fans (know we do this cause we care not for the thrill) but they are also saying that no matter how much touring kills and drains them they arent going to "let in" fame and the business side of the music industry..your not going to see them on TRL...

"watch me as i cut my self wide open on this stage yes im paid to spill my guts" ...thats one of my favorite lines... great cd

when i first got this cd (which by the way is purely amazing), this song surprised me. i still dont know if im allowed to sing along to it...does anyone else hear me when i say this song is like a big F YOU to the fans? i saw them in philly today and they opened up with this song and i felt like jessie was just sitting up there mocking everyone who came out to see them. i dunno...i see the mans point, its just awkward to listen to and wonder if im allowed to like it

I think it's about getting popular (music wise) and not being able to do the things you used to, like freely go home. he feels the he is a puppet "I am made to girls panic as i sing" and he's turning into the stereotypical lead singer that girls take off their shirts and virginities for

i'm not dissin'. this album is bad a$$. i suggest you go pick it up
