Send "Punk" Ringtone to Cell

Bound to myself and goes home
Making of herself a number
Always tell her before I start up
Do now what I tell you shut up!

Bound to the chair
Do me what you can
Bound to a door
Get down on the floor
Find out how we'll do with the loop
Till everybody says shut up!
Yeah!

Telling to Miguel I love her
Try and see what happens get up!
Everybody says I should up
Last time I told them right off

Playing with the sun
I knew what I was doing
Did it to myself
Did it to myself
I let horror to myself of doing
Cos everybody tell me shut up!

    General Comment:may be unrelated to the song title but it sounds to me like he picks up a girl "Bound to myself and goes home
    Making of herself a number" and then they start to have loud S&M sex until their neighbors tell them to shut up "Always tell her before I start up
    Do now what I tell you shut up!

    Bound to the chair
    Do me what you can
    Bound to a door
    Get down on the floor
    Find out how we'll do with the loop
    Till everybody says shut up!" and then he decides to take a chance and tell her he loves her "Telling to Miguel I love her
    Try and see what happens get up!
    Everybody says I should up
    Last time I told them right off"" but she didn't feel the same way and he got burned "Playing with the sun
    I knew what I was doing
    Did it to myself
    Did it to myself
    I let horror to myself of doing
    Cos everybody tell me shut up!"
    ...or maybe I just have a dirty mind XD

    General Comment:I agree with you on him making fun of all the wannabes and crappy bands but not the genre. If you've ever heard a GOOD BAND or if you ever met a REAL PUNK you would know what I mean.

    General Comment:Why would Damon write a song explicitly insulting punk music (instead of a tribute/parody mix) and then go on the Plastic Beach tour with Mick Jones and Paul Simonon?

    He obviously doesn't hate punk music.

    My Opinion:I definetly agree that the song makes of the punk genre. huh! even the beginning with the sickly 'ooh' and 'aah' sounds like 2D making fun of the way punk singers scream (whoa. oximoron) in their songs.

    General Comment:Wow... What makes you guys think this song has a meaning? If you know Gorillaz you would know that when Damon sings it live he changes the lyrics every time. To me this song is like I Am The Walrus by The Beatles has no god damn meaning! You guys are just wasting your time trying to analyse the lyrics. And it is called Punk because it sounds like a Punk song and Gorillaz arn't really Punk,

    Great song and band though

    General Comment:Stop saying Taking Back Sunday are a punk band xD that's pathetic.

    I agree with PunkRockUK. The song, fast lyrics and short run time make this song a parody of punk songs but that doesn't mean they are dissing punk.
