Lisztomania Lyrics
So sentimental
Not sentimental, no! Romantic, not discussing it Darling I'm down and lonely When we're the fortunate only I've been looking for something else Duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel it Go slowly, discouraged, Distant from other interests On your favorite we can end it This love's for gentlemen only That's with the fortunate only No I gotta be someone else These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a ride, like a riot, oh! Not easily offended Know how to let it go From a mess to the masses Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a ride, like a riot, oh! Not easily offended Know how to let it go From a mess to the masses Follow, misguide, stand still Discuss, discourage On this precious we can end it This love's for gentlemen only Wealthiest gentlemen only And now that you're lonely Duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel it Let's go slowly, discouraged, We'll burn the pictures instead When it's all over we can barely discuss For one minute only Not with the fortunate only Thought it could have been something else These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a ride, like a riot, oh! Not easily offended Know how to let it go From a mess to the masses Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a ride, like a riot, oh! Not easily offended Know how to let it go From a mess to the masses |

Do let do let do let jugulate do let do let do
jugulate refers to kill by slitting the throat by the way.

So sentimental
Not sentimental no !
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling I’m down and lonely
When with the fortunate only
I’ve been looking for something else
Do let do let do let jugulate do let do let do
Let’s go slowly, discouraged,
Distant from other interests
On your favorite weekend ending
This love’s for gentlemen only
That’s with the fortunate only
No I gotta be someone else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh !
I’m not easily offended
It’s not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh !
I’m not easily offended
It’s not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage
On this precious weekend ending
This love’s for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you’re lonely
Do let do let do let jugulate do let do let do
Let’s go slowly, discouraged,
We’ll burn the pictures instead
When it’s all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, Oh !
I’m not easily offended
It’s not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, Oh !
I’m not easily offended
It’s not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses

"The scandalous tale of superstar composer Franz Liszt's hedonistic life of groupies, sex and music, as well as his rivalry with the scheming Richard Wagner. After enjoying the fruits of his celebrity, Liszt tries to find true love with one of his mistresses, Princess Caroline. The Pope (Ringo Starr) forbids their marriage and Liszt attempts to adopt a monastic lifestyle. Wagner marries Liszt's daughter, and then battles for world domination by unleashing the Viking God, Thor, and his troupe of robot Nazis. The only way to save the world is through Liszt and all of his mistresses in a rocket ship to destroy the resurrected Wagner who has now become the Nazi Antichrist."
Some part of me dearly hopes that Phoenix have seen this film.

The opening stanza could be the discussion of a song or its theme, and a record company person saying "no no sentimental songs don't sell" or something like this. I feel like the beginning is where my interpretation is weakest. But now they are the fortunate, only they feel down and lonely because while many would consider them fortunate (famous, rich, etc.) they may not feel this way if they feel like they have had to compromise on what they wanted to do. Then the "juggle it, duel it" is about trying to toe the line between the commercially popular so you can make a living and between doing whatever you want.
Actually the next part, "wealthiest gentleman only", may be where my interpretation is weakest. I can make a feasible argument in my head, but I can't really convince myself of what I think the meaning could be.
The chorus though I think refers to the obsession with some musical acts today. "Think less but see it grow, like a ride, like a riot oh!" is about the legions of fans obsessed with an act that may not really be that talented (I think of young pop groups, backstreet boys of the late 90s, maybe Miley Cyrus today?). At the same time though the singer knows its a ride that they just have to sit back and not think about too much, because he knows the fame comes and goes (one hit wonders, or the backstreet boys today,I have no idea what any of them do now). They won't be easily offended and they will let it go if the mass public suddenly loses interest, or if record execs ask them to make changes. The mess could either be talentless bands and singers, or the compromised finished product when a band and company are just thinking about how to be commercially popular (and possibly bland), and it is sent out to the masses for consumption.
The second half of the song could be post-popular boom around an artist, looking back on it and maybe wishing you were still famous, or accepting that it was a passing thing and not try to hold on to it.
During the writing of this post I noticed Lizard King had a similar idea, I have to second his interpretation.

They are basically using that as there example of the ultimate fame and fan adoration. The chorus is talking about how fame can grow very quickly, and fade very quickly, and you have to know how to deal with both. The verses seem to be about someone gaining fame, then looking back when he loses it and wondering if it could have been different and feeling very sorry for himself.

Not sentimental, no!
Romantic, not discussing it
Darling I'm down and lonely
When we're the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel it
Go slowly, discouraged,
Distant from other interests
On your favorite we can end it
This love's for gentlemen only
That's with the fortunate only
No I gotta be someone else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Discuss, discourage
On this precious we can end it
This love's for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel it
Let's go slowly, discouraged,
We'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
I think this is about an ambiguous relationship, as in, being 'the other woman/man.' It's a struggle, a duel, a juggle, a conflict, 'folow, misguide, stand still, discuss, discourage...' Ultimately a lifestyle that maybe only the wealthiest gentleman can pull off. Hoped it 'could have been something else' but now they 'gotta be someone else' and are 'looking for something else.' They want to end it on a high note, 'on your favourite', 'on this precious.'
