Fire in the disco (Dick Valentine >)
Fire in the Taco Bell
Fire in the disco
Fire in the gates of hell

Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (Jack White ;))
It's my desire (Valentine)

Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (Valentine)
It's my desire (White)

It's my desire (both)
Danger, danger (Valentine>)
High voltage
When we touch, when we kiss
Danger, danger (White>)

When we touch, when we touch
Danger, danger (both>)
High voltage
When we touch and when kiss
Danger, danger
High voltage (Valentine)
When we touch (Valentine)
When we kiss (White)
When we touch (Valentine)
When we kiss (White)
Well, don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (White)
It's my desire (both)
It's my desire (both)
Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (Valentine)
It's my desire (both)
It's my desire (both)
Danger, danger (Valentine>)

When we touch, a-when we kiss
Danger, danger (White>)
It's high voltage
When we kiss (both>)

    I saw this band in 2002 and just this last Friday night. Same guitar players. Different bass player though, although back in 2002 Dick Valentine told us that the bass player that was temporary and filling in for their regular guy (who I assume played bass on Friday).

    GREAT LIVE BAND. Yes, they're a novelty. Yes, their songs are silly. But this band is excellent live... trust me!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
