Shall we dance?
Or maybe just limp around?
These feet are cold and beat
And strangers to the ground
The sound of the kick is arousing.
The couples are sweet in their love
Tonight we'll stagger up from the basement
Or fall to our deaths from above
You've got those moves and those eyes
I've got these shakes and bad breath
Ew...
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
Or maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you? Where are you?
I hate to let em see me crying
I'm gonna zip on my party suit and show y'all something
There ain't no such thing as strumpin'
for nothing
You can fly with us or hang on to the
walls
But the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls
I got a deep sick worry and I don't know why
Where are you? Where are you? What are you doing tonight?
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
Or maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you? Where are you?
I hate to let em see me crying
So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying
So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
Or maybe just limp around?
These feet are cold and beat
And strangers to the ground
The sound of the kick is arousing.
The couples are sweet in their love
Tonight we'll stagger up from the basement
Or fall to our deaths from above
You've got those moves and those eyes
I've got these shakes and bad breath
Ew...
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
Or maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you? Where are you?
I hate to let em see me crying
I'm gonna zip on my party suit and show y'all something
There ain't no such thing as strumpin'
for nothing
You can fly with us or hang on to the
walls
But the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls
I got a deep sick worry and I don't know why
Where are you? Where are you? What are you doing tonight?
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
Or maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you? Where are you?
I hate to let em see me crying
So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying
So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside

But I know I don't like it"
What has he never tried??
but yeah
chris-strumpin
neil-devils
i play this in a band and it is imposibl to sing the lead then the strumpin bit and espicially hard to sing devil tkin names then go right back into the deep sick worry bit
and they would have wrote it to play live and party suit line starts just before brendan stops singin
and yeah listen to sundowner deffo chris
plus i love this "singing cleanly" like brendan has a stomp box hooked up to is esophagus lol
Splooie have you ever heard Brendan sing cleanly? It is him, listen to Another Boring Story.
Especially with the release of the Sundowner CD you can really tell that the strumpin' part is sung by Chris..
Have you guys ever even heard Brendan's voice? It just doesn't sound like that, even clean. Look up some live videos/interviews/anything and you will see.
Brendan sings: I'm gonna zip on my party suit and show y'all something There ain't no such thing as strumpin' for nothing
You can fly with us or hang on to the walls
Then Chris sings: But the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls
That's how it is in the video as well (nothing to do with cinematics), it's just accurate as to who sings what!
I can't really see how anyone who's a Lawrence Arms fan could get this wrong. Sure, Brendan sings "clean" in his part, but it's still him.
Brendan sings alot slower and in a lower key at parts, in a way sings more like Chris. And Chris is way more aggressive on this album. It's as if they have met each other half way, to form one new unique voice. I love it.
Just because the name of the website is "songmeanings.net" doesn't mean that every post has to be: "this song is about getting your heart broken" or "this song is about drugs." There's a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears that go into all of these songs that can effect the meanings for different people in many different ways. So, if you don't like the way people post, ignore them, write your own the way you want them to be written, and maybe people who agree your line of reasoning will respond to you. Just as the people who want to hear what I have to say can respond to me.
