First time I had read the Bible
It had stroke me as unwitty
I think it may started rumor
That the Lord ain't got no humor

Put me inside SSC
Let's test superstring theory
Oh yoi yoi accelerate the protons
stir it twice and then just add me, 'cause

I don't read the Bible
I don't trust disciple
Even if they're made of marble
Or Canal Street bling

From the maelstrom of the knowledge
Into the labyrinth of doubt
Frozed underground ocean
melting, nuking on my mind

Yes give me Everything Theory
Without Nazi uniformity
My brothers are protons
My sisters are neurons
Stir it twice, it's instant family!

I don't read the Bible
I don't trust disciple
Even if they're made of marble
Or Canal Street bling

My brothers are protons
My sisters are neurons
Stir it twice dlja prekrastnih dam

Do you have sex maniacs
Or schizophrenics
Or astrophysicists in your family
Was my grandma anti anti
Was my grandpa bounty bounty
Hek-o-hek-o-hej-o
They ask me in embassy!

'Cause I don't read the Bible
I don't trust disciple
Even if they're made of marble
Or Canal Street bling

And my grandma she was anti!
And my grandpa he was bounty!
And stir it twice
And then just add me!
Party party party party party party
now afterparty

    This song is against all forms of ideology, which specifically includes religion but also politics. He is saying that there is something wrong with breaking up the world into rigid categories that separate people, as ideologies tend to do. Here we have a celebration of everything that defies or resists categorization. The line, "party, party, party, party, party, party, now afterparty!" is mocking the idea that political parties represent anything meaningful or close to the truth. As in the beginning--

    First time I had read the Bible It had stroke me as unwitty I think it may started rumor That the Lord ain't got no humor

    To him, religion is humorless, narrow, and like the blind followers of the party line, leads to a "Nazi uniformity" that is actually dangerous and potentially harmful.

    Do you have sex maniacs Or schizophreniacs Or the astrophysicists in your family? Was your grandma anti anti? Was my grandpa bounty bounty? They ask in embassy!

    This is the type of ludicrous questioning he or perhaps his ancestors may have been subjected to back in Russia, but also it could apply to the suspicion and coldness an immigrant feels directed towards him in a new country. The song mentions an embassy, but it could be anywhere.

    String theory is "super" because in his mind, it's anti-ideology: unpredictable, free, spontaneous, rule-bending, and revolutionary. Some people want to live inside an ideology, so he imagines living inside string theory ("Put me inside SSC..."), where all the exclusions and controls of daily life can disappear. But I think we can all relate to this desire for a split-free existence, where the part is not separate from the whole, and where the rules work differently or not as we assumed.

    This is not just a party party song. Party party party guys don't read the Bible TWICE. Some fans are just clueless to the depth of this great band.

    First time I had read the Bible It had stroke me as unwitty I think it may started rumor That the Lord ain't got no humor

    He is talking about how at first glance the Bible seems harsh. Consider Supert Taranta were he is saying it was not so bad. In other words, once you understand the metaphors it is much more interesting and even at times humorous.

    Once you understand the metaphor it becomes clear how faith was used to manipulate followers. Moses wonders in a desert for 40 years and his people are starving and dying. It's a curse!

    Before that, Moses is told by a burning bush to lead the Israelites.

    You don't get what that means? You ain't got no humor.

    Put me inside SSC Let's test superstring theory Oh yoi yoi, accelerate the protons Stir it twice and then just add me, because

    I am not sure the lyric "SSC' is correct. But anyway, as mentioned he is discussing his desire to break down the walls.

    I don't read the Bible I don't trust disciple Even if they're made of marble Or Canal Street bling

    He does not trust the leaders or there sacred texts (books of philosophy or law). Whether they are made of marble (ancients) oir canal street bling (moderns). The last two lines can also represent careful attention or cheapness. This is also a reference to false idols.

    From the maelstrom of the knowledge Into the labyrinth of doubt Frozen underground ocean Melting, nuking on my mind

    Here he is talking about how consuming large amounts of information can make you a little delirious and create doubt.

    Give me Everything Theory Without Nazi uniformity My brothers are protons My sisters are neutrons I stir it twice, it's instant family!

    However, he is curious and wants to know everything. But many reigions/theorists/philosphers demand conformity.

    Male and female forces are at the center of life. Sex is the stir.

    Do you have sex maniacs Or schizophreniacs Or the astrophysicists in your family?

    In other words, these labels are silly. The traits they define are on a spectrum. They are not binary. The definitions used are overly vague like astrology readings. The divisions are silly and subejctive.

    Was your grandma anti anti? Was my grandpa bounty bounty? They ask in embassy!

    Was your grandma an anti communist. Was your grandpa an enemy of the state. Again, stupid labels.

    And my grandma she was anti! And my grandpa he was bounty! I stir it twice Or Canal Street bling Party, party, party, party, party, party Now afterparty!

    Of coures, they were. Now forget all that.... Let's have some sex, gold and party, party party!!! Now afterparty!!!

    "No, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be SSC. It was a planned particle accelerator to be built in Texas. The SSC stands for Superconducting Super Collider."

    Which is why Eugene is also singing about protons and neurons.

    The SSC was also created in an attempt at "seeing" the Higgs Boson, the particle which is suppose to explain why matter has mass at all. The Higgs Boson is also known as the God Particle. Which is what this song is all about.

    baha, i love listening to this album and going through favourite songs ... this is the new one. agreed, funnypunkkid, the lyrics are genius! i was disappointed, though, to see that it's "was your grandpa bounty, bounty" instead of "panty, panty" like i thought i heard. BOOM!

    also, i think instead of "SSC" it is "SSE" as in "Supertheory of SuperEverything" ... just sounds like the former

    No, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be SSC. It was a planned particle accelerator to be built in Texas. The SSC stands for Superconducting Super Collider.

    This more just about the general BAND, but it's good to see punk isn't dead. Of course, this is a lot different than the Dead Kennedys, but it's amazing. And to think, there are shitty capitalistic clone bands that think they're punk!

    But this is a good example. Very anti-religion.

    To me it's not only about the absence of a omnipotent god and partying all the time. Eugene also mentions the way religion effects the progress of science. Especially in biology, the theory of evolution is constantly criticized (yes still) especially around here. Just look at Ben Steins new film. I think its titled "Expelled".

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.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Album art
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.
