[Jay-z Intro]
Yeah, what you critics said would never happen
We dedicate this album to anybody
People who said
We couldn't make it
To the fans that held us down
Till anybody came around
Welcome... It's here

Last summer we took threes across the board
But by fall we were a cover story
"Now in stores"
Make us poster boys for your scene
But we are not making an accepting speech
I have found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes
Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update

So long live the car-crash heart
Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

So long live the car-crash heart
Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

I can take your problems away
With a nod and a wave
Of my hand
Cause that's just the kind of boy that I am

The only thing I've haven't done yet is die
And it's me and my plus one at the afterlife
Crowds are won and lost and won again
But our hearts beat for the diehards

So long live the car-crash heart
Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

So long live the car-crash heart
Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

Long live the car-crash heart
So long live the car-crash heart

So long live the car-crash heart
Cry on the couch alll the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

    General Comment:I didn't read every comment, but a 45 is a common vinyl record RPM speed. Many records are called 45s.

    Thriller, by Michael Jackson, is a famous and valuable 45 RPM record.

    This song makes references to fame and the pressures of it. Michael Jackson's life was plagued by the spotlight.

    Just throwing that out there.

    Lyric Correction:oh and btw... you can check out the REAL lyrics at FallOutBoyrock.com just go click on the button that says "discography" and and choose an album and there should be a button that says "lyrics". i would think they would be real cuz i thought Pete posted them on there so... yea

    So long live the car crash hearts
    Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
    Fix me in 45

    So long live the car crash hearts
    Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
    Fix me in 45

    I can take your problems away with a nod and a wave
    Of my hand, 'cause that's just the kind of boy that I am
    The only thing I haven't done yet is die
    And it's me and my plus one at the afterlife
    Crowds are won and lost and won again
    But our hearts beat for the diehards

    So long live the car crash hearts
    Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
    Fix me in 45

    So long live the car crash hearts
    Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
    Fix me in 45

    Long live the car crash hearts
    (Long live the car crash hearts)
    Long live the car crash hearts
    (Long live the car crash hearts)

    Long live the car crash hearts
    Cry on the couch all the poets come to life
    Fix me in 45

    General Comment: I think its about how people that are famous often forget the true people who were with them to the start. But in this song the person doesn't care for the fame or fortune, but for love instead, now thats deep.

    Song Meaning:FIX me in 45.

    i think it has a double meaning..

    the first one is that a therapy session last 45 minutes, but then the cd is 45 minutes long so basically this cd is our therapy session and at the end were going to be fix....

    General Comment:When I first heard the song, I thought "Long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch all the poets come to life" was talking about people in bad relationships, going through heartbreak, stuff like that; when they cry by themselves on the couch the tragic poets from way back when, their deep words would make more sense because the crier can relate better.

    Make us poster boys for your scene
    But we are not making an accepting speech'
    yeah thats about how they werent massive with there past albums then sudenly there massive and when the teeny boppers put up posters of them to create their scene... there not making an accpeting speech to that.. they hate it..

    'Crowds are won and lost and won again
    But our hearts beat for the diehards'
    people will love them then hate them but fob only care for the diehard fans who are there for the music and not for the scene..

    but yeh.. this is song is great.
