Oh Mandy

The Spinto Band

I got a gnome in the backyard
I put him right on the X mark
He's supposed to show me where the money is
Hey, won't you show me where the money is?

I got it all on the back of my hand
I want your answer so I won't forget
Then show me right where your heart is
Oh, right now tell me where your heart is

Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
So dreamy, oh Mandy
So killing, oh Mandy

Sure I had trouble from the onset
I tried to chase things I couldn't get
Show me a rerun on the W
Show me a rerun on the WB

So what's it like to be in it
And move away to the Midwest
I gotta message for your auntie
I gotta message for your auntie

Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
So dreamy, oh Mandy
So killing, oh Mandy

Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Can read me and has me
Oh Mandy, oh Mandy?s
Completely out of reach

And now I know I'm at the end of my wits
Don't gotta tell me where this is going
'Cause I know nothing ever falls apart
Yeah, I know nothing ever falls apart

Remind me once more where this is going
Before I fling it out into the ocean

It?s kind of level but it's wavy
It's looking more blue than it is green
It?s looking quiet as I jump in
So I can finally hear you scream

You got a gnome in the backyard
You put him right on the X mark
You're eating brains out the back of my head
Oh yeah, that's where the money is

Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
So dreamy, oh Mandy
So killing, oh Mandy

Oh Mandy, oh Mandy
Can read me and has me
Oh Mandy, oh Mandy?s
Completely out of reach

    I thought it was "So kill me, Oh Mandy" and "I got a NOTE on the back of my hand, I WROTE your answer so I won't forget" But my hearing sucks anyway. Now i listen to it the lyrics that are up there do sound right.

    I do love this song though. It's the first song I heard from The Spinto Band :)

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
