Boys

Robots in Disguise

Let us celebrate the foreign glamour of boys
Their allure is left unexplained
Their features and form alien to girls as described by girls
Scant chance for us to consume the beauty of the male body for pleasure

The body of boys, the blood of boys x8

Kappa jackets, Puma trainers, Farrahs, mullets, flicks
For that 80s comp-boy look
Bunny hops, wheelies (wow!)
BMX boys have a lot of fun
They ride their bikes out in the sun

Leisure centre, down by Cedars, railway line
Graffiti catalogues your weekend
Wait around, hang about, track you down
I spy on you
Looking hard through soft clean fringes

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

Biker jackets, long black jumpers, nose rings, DMs, dreads
For that 90s indie look
Guitars, playing records (wow!)
Boys in bands have a lot of fun
They make new sounds to get off on

Planet X, Freak Scene, Wildlife, Carny Bar
Roaches catalogue my weekend
Muck around, doss about, pants down
I lose time with you
Looking through your alternative fringe

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

The body of boys, the blood of boys x12

we like...
your skin
flat chest
shoulders square
cock
sex
broken voices
skinny hips
shape
synthesis
sinew
bass
metal

We like, we like, we like

    please don't tell me that i'm the only one who believes that this song is actually about how damn stupid and brainless women or girls become around a male that they like, and that they toss aside nearly any intelligence and independence they have when this occurs. considering how many times i myself have become completely and embarrassingly brainless around guys i have fallen in love with...the lyrics 'and if I kissed you, and if we did it, would I become cool?' seem to explain it all...

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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."

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.
