Lyrics for Bobbing for Apples as interpreted by Airyca

Bobbing for Apples Lyrics
Bobbing for apples in Somalia
The man with the iron curtain is following you
No one's coming for tea-time except my own holy ghost
You're somewhere far, probably drinking a whiskey
I'm dating Jack Daniels and Caleb's with Miss Nikki Tine
Nachos with cocoa -- hey, to each his own

Lovely people, lovely places
I can't remember names and I can't remember faces
Someone next door's fucking to one of my songs

Hey light fixture, you are much too bright
Oh, won't you stay with me through the night?
Just grab a pillow tight
And wait for the dizziness to pass
Rock and roll, you ate my soul
You sucked dry my bones but you spit out my mole
I'll always opt to fall down these stairs in the end

Lovely people, lovely places
Drunken faces, slurring their phrases
I’ll always opt to fall down these stairs in the end

You're so jealous, I’m so lonely
You'll never forgive me but I love you only
I'll always opt to fall down these stairs in the end

Someone next door’s fucking to one of my songs...

About the "you're somewhere far probably drinking a whiskey...-part" that's so damn hard to hear, could she be saying: "I'm dating Jack Daniels and Caleb's with Miss Nicky"? It seems a bit more logical -to me at least-, but maybe it is as you've written... Just tought I'd ask if some one had figured it out yet.

i think i is quite plausably miss nicky-tine.. or something like that. Seeing the vice in the things it follows i think nicotine, with an annunciated twist, would make tons of sense.

any opinions?

Does this song have anything to do with the tour she did? I see a reference to Kings of Leon so I was just asking.

I definitely think it's "I'm dating Jack Daniel's with Caleb's [actually the Caleb's thing is questionable but whatever] and Miss Nicky Tine." I love how she personifies the alcohol and cigarettes haha. Yeah, it would make a lot of sense if those were the words because she is so fond of being clever with her lyrics.

"I'm dating Jack Daniels and Caleb's with Miss Nikki Tine

adamanteve is right, in my opinion. Jack Daniels is alcohol, so Miss Nikki Tine is most logical.

And, to be grammatically picky, there should be no apostrophe in nachos because they aren't possessing anything.

This song is so. much. fun. to sing. I've always pictured it as just sort of a thrown-together tune she wrote on tour with Kings of Leon (since she references a Caleb). It has the atmosphere I'd imagine a tour like that to have; it's quite bubbly and sort of chaotic. And even though she's dizzy and it's too bright and she can't remember the names and faces, she still decrees that they are "lovely people" and "lovely places." What fun. I've taught this song to the babies I take care of, although I had to substitute "fuck" for a more suitable verb.

To summarize: this song is darling, as is its creator.

I just saw her live and she sung this. God, it's so brillient! And when she sand the line, "Someone next door's fucking to one of my songs," it was just freaking awesome. I love her! She a great performer, a great lyricist, and a great musician!

REGINA!!!!!! God. She sings in Latin, English, French, and Russian. She plays piano and guitar absolutely beautiful, she writes and compses the music for these songs that have changed my life, her voice, singing and speaking, is so so adorable, she can pull off any style of music, she is stunning, and, obviously, a genius, and, as someone already said, she makes fucking sound cute. Tell me, is there anything she can't do?

okay i don't know about everyone else but it sounds like to me she's talking about herself or some character who is just trashed beyond compare hehe, and i love how when she sings it, she sounds totally trashed slurring her words and such, i cant hardly understand what she's saying but now that i looked at the lyrics i realize how genius she really is.

Has anyone seen In Bruges? Its a movie with Colin Ferrel and Brendan Gleeson and Colin Ferrel almost fucks to one of Regina's songs. "That Time", actually. Unfortunately the jealous boyfriend interrupted...

Anyway it's a must see, and Regina is on the soundtrack, so thats always a bonus

i love the subtle references everyone picked up on! you're all probably right and i suppose we'll never know, but when i think of this song i think that the person is drunk and then hung over. and i mean extrememly drunk and extremely hung over.
Hey light fixture, you are much too bright

^sounds like the end of a drunken night and the beginning of a hung over morning to me
possibly something about being on tour and meeting so many people and things such as that as well

She's on tour, and someone she loves back home is jealous of her success. But she still feels lonely, even as she enjoys all the new people and places.

Nonetheless, she takes pride that people are fucking to her songs (probably Caleb Folowill, since he and his band seem to do a lot of that. :))

Incidentally, I saw her do this last night at the Serpentine Sessions in Hyde Park, London. Front and centre, there's a tiny ten year old girl peeking over the front barrier, and Regina has her guitar, and sees this girl and knows she's about to sing the word "fucking" over and over and over, and bursts out laughing. You see Regina gulp, laugh, and then throw herself into it, looking down at this little girl, and laughing away throughout the song. So funny! :)

"I'm dating Jack Daniels and Caleb's with Miss Nikki Tine"

Caleb Bradham = the inventor of Pepsi Cola in 1893, it's got nothing to do with Kings of Leon

It's definately to do with Kings of Leon because the name of KOL's guitar technichian on tour is Nacho, who is also their cousin or brother or something. It can't be a coincidence.
