Lyrics for I Luv the Valley OH! as interpreted by PLANES

I Luv the Valley OH! Lyrics
That's a pill and you've got to take it
That's a pill that you've got to take
I won't rest until you take it
That's a heart that you made
That's a heart and the both of you made it
And I won't rest until I break it
It’s ‘histroic de la famile
It’s l’histroic de la FAM
And I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
I won't rest until I forget about it
La La La La La La La
That's a razor and you will make a threat
That's a razor make million billion threats
And I won't rest cuz I heard it all before
My behind is a beehive, there's a buzz in my backside
My behind is a beehive and I won't rest
while you break my will
Je t’aime the valley
Je t’aime the valley OH!!!
I am an orphan de la valley
And I won’t rest until I forget about it
I won’t rest until I don’t care
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

It's "fam". It's in the booklet and his brother posted about it on their message boards. The word is FAM.

"I won’t rest until I don’t care"

that line facinates me so much. It's such a contradiction, and it's so true.

" Its l'histoire de la famile
l'histoire de la famile'histoire de la FAM
And I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
I won't rest until I forget about it"

Jamie Stewart's father killed himself during or a little before the creation of the album. With the 'family history' bit, he's worried that because his dad shot himself, he will too. And he's trying his best to ignore that it might happen to him to. And w/ the La La La La thing it seems as if he's covering his ears and shaking his head, like "I'm not listening!!!". yeah.

this song makes me cry. I can't even begin to describe what this song means to me.
It means alot, obviously, if it can drive me to tears. It is beautiful Jamie sings it so well. And there can be so many meaning behind this. Its beautiful and even without the lyrics or knowing the meanings, it can sound very anguished and very... not tragic... but ...well...as if distraught with some type of grief.

But this is just me thinking.

the cd booklet says FAM, and I read in an interview Jamie say that his dad used to call the family, the FAM with a french accent. it's something the members of the family might use to remember him by or like an inside joke.

this is a great song, but i think Drealoth blew it way out of proportion.. ex.

' "La la la la la la la la la"
Picture the singer in a corner, eyes closed tightly, hands over his ears, shouting this out, and by this, shutting out the world. '

the dude is just saying la la la not shutting out the world. i mean commonnnn now!

this song has a terrible PIL feeling. I can't help but remember the metal box album whenever I hear this song. Don't you all think of that?

I also think the valley stands for the family. You know, the valley is where the community is. I also agree that it means depression state.

I sent this in an email to a friend of mine...It's my (lengthy) interpretation of the beehive lines.

"Okay, so I've got a theory on 'my behind is a beehive; there's a buzz in my backside.'
The song is about his father's suicide and his reaction to it: he tries to block it out, doesn't want to deal with it etc. The song isn't symathetic at all.
So, what if his father disowned him, cut him off, or kicked him out because he was gay? You've heard the expression, 'busy as a bee.' What if his father's last words to him were something hurtful about his gayness, perhaps comparing his ass to a beehinve because of all of the activity in and around it?
It's all I can think of to explain these lines.
'My behind is a beehive, there's a buzz in my backside
my behind is a beehive, and I won't rest while you break my will...'
So maybe he's saying that he's glad in a way that his father's dead because the burden of their relationship is gone and he can finally get some peace? Listening to the song I realized that what he was saying with those lines was essentially: You, dad, are selfish. Your existence, between your depressions and your threats of suicide and your judgement of me, has been nothing but stressful. When you kicked me out, that's when our relationship ended. So you've finally gone and killed yourself, but I told myself years ago that I wasn't going to worry about you anymore. You've been dead to me for years.
So that's my interpretation of those lines. It seems to fit given the fact that the song is about his father's suicide but it isn't incredibly mopey...and it isn't mean either. There are the two sides of him--the side that hated his father and the side that still loved him--and he's trying to find an equilibrium between the two so he can deal with it all.

The only other possibility is that maybe his father raped him? It doesn't make as much sense to me that way though."

blue25000000, I understand you're theorizing, but your theory is way off. Those particular lyrics you're discussing are a reference to one of Dennis Cooper's books. (Jamie said so in a couple of interviews, but I don't have links to them.) Because they're a Dennis Cooper reference they might have something to do with homosexuality but I don't think it has anything to do with Jamie's father not accepting his bisexuality.

oh that's awesome, i just read the book jamie stewart must be referencing, when i read that part i thought of this song, but the though it didn't cross my mind it oculd be an actual reference.

i just can't remember if it was from Frisk, Closer or Period. I know it was one of those three, i read them one after another. i'm leaning towards Closer as being the one.

A note for any future Dennis Cooper readers, you're actually supposed to read Closer first, then Frisk, Try, Guide, and finally Period. Guide being the best, Period the Strangest, and Frisk being the one that nearly made me vomit.

I had an idea about these lines:

"My behind is a beehive, there's a buzz in my backside
My behind is a beehive and I won't rest
while you break my will"

It sounds to me like he could be talking about rape or being abused. That's just my take on it.. As in he's saying 'My behind is a beehive' therefore it stings... What do you think?

"that's a pill and you've got to take it" may be an indication to going with the crowd thats what the crowds doing thats what you all have to do.

this song to me seems more of a rebellious outburst against popularity, because even tho we all know in highschool the popular kids are bitches and so on in college but even the ones who seem nice really just bitch to be in the crowd.


"i wont rest until you take it"

the groups of people will not accept any person who is different to their cliche, even if the cliche represents individualism they still wont rest until they have ate whatever makes you different and spat you out.

"its a heart that you made, its a heart and the both of you made it...i wont rest until i brake it" the king and queen of popularity with false love for one another afraid of losing their positions and power of their friends if they, even tho each of them probably sleep around, or maybe his ex who had screwed him over and he has decided to screw them over.

"i wont rest until i dont care" he may need to care about it so much until he cant care anymore, until what all those "buzz bees" stop talking to him and about him, until he doesnt feel the need to talk about those bees, until he doesnt feel the need to become one of those bees. he has false pretense of not caring yet this song which he has taken time and effort to make gives all signs of his caring, maybe not for becoming one of them but maybe for saving each of these individual little bees.
"thats a razor and you will make threats" - a dig at all the pathetic suicide attempts and threats stupid attension seeking teens make when angst is high, a clear sign he is pissed off at the classical conditioned idea that sucide is associated with sympathy, sympathy for the weak to carry on yet these empty threats give the people who really need a help a bed name, maybe he is one of thses people butis afraid to show how much help he needs because ofthese individuals, maybe he is so afraid of becoming addicted to the sympathy and fake care that he has forced himself into a condition of neglect, just to keep himself safe.


"my behind is a beehive, theres a buzz in my backside" all those usless people talking about him and been a pain in the ass.

"Je t’aime the valley
Je t’aime the valley OH!!!"

maybe the only place he feels safe, the valley maybe the valley of the dolls, maybe the valley in his head

For a while, I thought this song was about an abortion,
"That's a pill and you've got to take it
That's a pill that you've got to take
I won't rest until you take it
That's a heart that you made
That's a heart and the both of you made it
And I won't rest until I break it."

But it seems that the general consensus is that the song is about his family history of depression.

Je t'aime DOESN'T mean i love you, it means i love an object, and it's l'histoire de la family meaning it's the history of the family.

thrania212, that's not right.

Je t'aime is an contraction of Je tu aime, which means "I love you" (informal). If you wanted to say "I love (an object)" then it would be "Je l'aime", since all objects in the french language are masculine or feminine and no object is really refered to as "tu" or "vous", but "il" or "elle".

Basically, Jamie's using incorrect French grammar here, unless he means to say "I love you, the valley" as if the valley was a real person he was talking to or something.

K, sorry for the faggy French lesson, but still.
