Sixty feet stomping (Noise Complaint!)
The souped-up vinyl spinning (Noise Complaint!)
Laughing is a reason (Noise Complaint!)
We're all spaz cap drinking (Noise Complaint!)

Well it's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
Twenty bucks says there's a noise complaint

Tearing down the curtains (Noise Complaint!)
We're just blowing out the speakers (Noise Complaint!)
You know the neighbors pound the floorboards (Noise Complaint!)
Yeah, this party ain't no secret (Noise Complaint!)

Well it's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
Yeah alright yeah there's a noise complaint, Oi!

Alley dog howling (Noise Complaint!)
We're all lighting up the tilt sign (Noise Complaint!)
It's just mad street rocking (Noise Complaint!)
Did you see those little skirts flipping (Noise Complaint!)

Well it's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
We're a crazy infestation of the truly un-cool

Police rack the front door (Noise Complaint!)
Then all them girls hit the closet (Noise Complaint!)
You know I'm underneath the bed now (Noise Complaint!)
It's just a chance for naughty smooching (Noise Complaint!)

Well it's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
We're sorry officer 'bout the noise complaint

Frigging in the rigging (Noise Complaint!)
Yeah there's smoggin' in my noggin' (Noise Complaint!)
We're all playing back seat bingo (Noise Complaint!)
Are you hip to my lingo (Noise Complaint!)

Well it's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
Back it up kid there's a noise complaint, Oi!

The record needle's dulling (Noise Complaint!)
All the ivy leaguers screaming (Noise Complaint!)
We're all posing for a picture (Noise Complaint!)
And just flip, dip, spinning (Noise Complaint!)

It's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
They play my song it goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Shy girls winking (Noise Complaint!)
And the good girls kissing (Noise Complaint!)
You see those rude girls spitting (Noise Complaint!)
And all them doped up dolls giggling (Noise Complaint!)

Well it's a sure shot, we can't be stopped
I like your neighbor, but your neighbor don't like me

    When I googled "back seat bingo," some website about slang from the 50's said it was "necking in a car."

    I'm guessing "smoggin in my noggin" has something to do with smoke? There's usually a lot of smoke at parties and what not, so... ? And noggin means head. Maybe there is so much smoke, it felt like his head was filled with it.

    And I have no clue what "friggin in the rigging" means, ha.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

Holiday

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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