Lyrics for Gang Bang Suicide as interpreted by hamfoh

Gang Bang Suicide Lyrics
Well if you love what you are
Then you must try to solve
All the things you can leave
Through the minds and retrieve
They say size doesn't count
But my heart is a house
Will you come and move in
Leave a space for us to give

So when you die will you leave
Behind all the leaves
That we sold to ourselves
With the whyouths and the whens
Was it hard to retrieve
All the lies and the seeds
Do you love do you try
I don't care it's the sign

So let's wash all the fear
"grow old hand!" in the mirror
With the lights on the skin
They say war will never win
If you like to sew up
Then i wish you would grow up
And take the lines from your face
Age so sweet and replace

It's the soul that i want
It's the low belt and caught
It's the size of my heart
It's a house we can start

Well your mouth is a gun
Yeah your mouth is a gun...
You hate it all in you...

All the lights we were, all the lights we were
Let's keep falling through the medical cracks of sound
Let's keep falling through the medical cracks of sound
I really think we did the best we could
I really think we did the best we could

They say size doesn't count
But my heart is a house...

it seems to me that it's "They say size doesn't count".

The rest isn't really clear.

About the song... it's just great. Like the whole record, by the way.

I was hearing "your mouth is a gun" too, but this:

"Yeah your mouth
Is the goal

You hate it on you"

Seems to make sense, and has that typical Broken Social Scene sexual imagery.

lyrics according to insert..

well if you love what you are then you must try to solve all the things you can leave
through the minds and retrieve they say size doesn't count
but my heart is a house
will you come and move in leave a space for us to give
so when you die will you leave behind all the leaves that we sold to ourselves
with the whyouths and the whens was it hard to retrieve all the lies and the seeds
do you love do you try i don't care it's the sign

so let's wash all the fear "grow old hand!" in the mirror with the lights on the skin
they say war will never win if you like to sew up then i wish you would grow up
and take the lines from your face age so sweet and replace it's the soul that i want
it's the low belt and caught it's the size of my heart it's a house we can start
well your mouth is a gun yah your mouth is a gun...
you hate it all in you, you hate it all in you
all the lights we were, all the lights we were
let's keep falling through the medical cracks of sound
let's keep falling through the medical cracks of sound
i really think we did the best we could i really think we did the best we could
they say size doesn't count but my heart is a house

If you guys actually buy the album it will show you the perfect lyrics. I absolutely love this song because some of the lyrics in it tie in with shampoo suicide and late ninties bedroom rock for the missionaries. If you listen carefully by the end you can hear "All the lights we were" I just get goosebumps thinking that he put those lines in there from his old BSS songs.

I think this song is like an extension to shampoo suicide, just in overall feel. That's what I thought of when I read the title then listened to it, anyway. Definitely one of my favorite BSS songs.

i remember reading an interview with kevin drew and he said he improvised most of the lyrics on this album. i agree with lutremi about it being an extension to shampoo suicide. a stream of consciousness with clearer vocals.

HOW CAN NO ONE ANALYZE THIS SONG? Here are the most telling and important lyrics as I see it...

"With the lights on the skin
They say war will never win
If you like to sew up
Then i wish you would grow up
And take the lines from your face
Age so sweet and replace

It's the soul that i want
It's the low belt and caught
It's the size of my heart
It's a house we can start

Well your mouth is a gun
Yeah your mouth is a gun...
You hate it all in you..."

AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? First off, war is an inevitable atrocity that you must accept to be enlightened. And "war," can be any two conflicting ideologies fighting through military, governement, people, love and sex. However, this is the war for an old porn star or sex seductress in my opinion and her war against her aging beauty. This quote leads me to believe she is going to use cosmetic surgery...

"If you like to sew up
Then i wish you would grow up
And take the lines from your face
Age so sweet and replace."

Kevin is suggesting that if she wants surgery to look more beautiful that she needs to grow up, because this enlightenment of accepting wars is the way to age gracefully...and this way he will love her forever with his heart-like house! And lastly, her mouth being a gun is a sexual entente suggesting that her blowjobs are in fact killing herself, or for that matter killing those she pleasures as a double sided gun. I read an interview with KD on the sexual explicit nature of the album , and it revolves around his adolescence and love for pornography etc, and how the characters in the film are real people also. Comments? Thoughts? This is my first day as a member, and I wanted to read the lyrics.
