Why do we need this
Who was it that said
That great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us
There's nothing here but a wasteland,
And I can still see the graves of the dead
But it's useless
Most of us would rather sit
Than see this wound
That we have created
Let's not last the night
Let's not last the night
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
Senseless and I'm not sure why
I'm not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Or all of the questions
It's got to be good for something
So we'll chalk this and we'll mount the dead
On the fireplace above right above our guilded heads
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it
Go
Why do we need this
Who was it that said
That great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us
There's nothing here but a wasteland
There's nothing here
Who was it that said
That great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us
There's nothing here but a wasteland,
And I can still see the graves of the dead
But it's useless
Most of us would rather sit
Than see this wound
That we have created
Let's not last the night
Let's not last the night
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
Senseless and I'm not sure why
I'm not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Or all of the questions
It's got to be good for something
So we'll chalk this and we'll mount the dead
On the fireplace above right above our guilded heads
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)

How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)

Go

There's nothing here

(actual lyrics)
like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
and boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
My initial interpretation of the lyrics!
Well I'm sick and I'm tired (it's all the rage)
Imploring me with your body (it's all the rage)
Doesn't really change the meaning of the song, but if you listen to the demo of the song you can hear how wrong I was!!!!
"like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage) and boring me with your body (it's all the rage) how many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage) and really mean it (and really mean it)
and really mean it (and really mean it)". I think this is a personal thing with someone he's with and just being with her to make her happy but because he's so sick and tired with allways being the good guy now it's time to say what he thinks and put himself first. Because being the good guy for him in the end it's worth nothing and there's noone/nothing there e.g. "There's nothing here but a wasteland"
Phew that's what i think
:)
xxx
phew thats my rant over but also the song doesn't sound much like its aboot casual sex eh. there are only two lines that suggest it:
like sitting in the back seat
and boring me with your body.
but then sex isnt boring if its a one off. it only gets boring when ur in a relationship thats going nowhere with a girl that messes u about but always seems to make it ur fault until u get "sick and tired of always being the good guy"
lust is a drug that can be resisted? its not a drug but it can be resisted. but on the other hand drugs are fun so why resist? ha
in fact, amazing band
That fucker lied to us,
Theres nothing here but a wasteland
possible homage to the who's baba o'reiley?
