Clang with an E

The Awkward Romance

I saw you in the lunch room
when i threw away my tray
You looked so approachable
I didn't know what to say
I walked up next to you
then I looked on your plate
I saw mashed potatoes
I saw mashed, yeah
I think you know what I mean
I think you know
Mashed potatoes
I think you know what's ___ with potatoes
French Fries
I think you know what's after French
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I think you know

I saw you at the State Fair
in line for the zipper
You looked so fresh for another con tripper
Weeks had passed, I prayed for a second chance
When the opportunity came, nothing changed

I think you know what I mean
I think you know
I think you know now
Mashed potatoes
I think you know what's ___ with potatoes
French Fries
I think you know what's after French
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I think you know

I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean

All I wanted to tell you
is how much you meant to me
I didn't wish to upset you
by sharing my heart so foolishly
(What I mean)
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
take it back
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
forever I will side my apologies
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
forever I will side my apologies
I wish I could take it back
I wish I could take it back
forever I will side my apologies
forever I will side my apologies

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
