[Chorus: x2]
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know I take it both ways
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know that I go both ways
Georgie said romantic love is flat
(Georgie said that)
Only for people with no real ambition in
Their lives (no lives)
But ooh, why does Christie disagree
She sees into the core of my poor machine
Ill tell you what she sees
Frightened cornered Gemini tactics and
In attempts to crack the party code
And there's one more thing
[Chorus: x2]
Our bodies became what has been him
So really turned off
Became a freaky permutation
Something like Voltron
Then I was wrapped in discourse with the magazine reader
The mutual conclusion was
I'm not worth knowing because I'm probably dead
So I'm exposed but no solution
[Chorus: x2]
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know I take it both ways
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know that I go both ways
Georgie said romantic love is flat
(Georgie said that)
Only for people with no real ambition in
Their lives (no lives)
But ooh, why does Christie disagree
She sees into the core of my poor machine
Ill tell you what she sees
Frightened cornered Gemini tactics and
In attempts to crack the party code
And there's one more thing
[Chorus: x2]
Our bodies became what has been him
So really turned off
Became a freaky permutation
Something like Voltron
Then I was wrapped in discourse with the magazine reader
The mutual conclusion was
I'm not worth knowing because I'm probably dead
So I'm exposed but no solution
[Chorus: x2]

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
can't wait to hear this live
Yep. They played it in 2007 and it was much more powerful.
"but oh, why does chrissie disagree?"
(chrissie is another alter ego of kevin's, like georgie fruit. i believe the name is chrissie, at least.)
then,
"i'll tell you what she sees"
List Christee is the name of his alter-ego
List Christee is the name of his alter-ego
and it's actually "list kristy". i read it in rolling stone like a year or so ago.
for all those who may question the spelling, go here ofmontreal.net/blog/page/3/ and look at the March 17 entry.
First off when I saw kevin as list christee it was spelled List christee so that makes me think otherwise. Another thing, I could totally see this part being
"But oh, but List Christee disagrees She sees into the core of my poor machine"\
being this
But oh, but List Christee disagrees She sees into the core of my repore machine
makes a hell of a lot more sense to me his poor machine?
Ofcourse I AM dying to know if it's Crissie Chrissie Krissy of whatever... But does anyone know what this song is actually about?
Thanx a lot!
Greetings
I don't know much about the history of List Christee or Georgie Fruit but it seems to me it's about Kevin's confused sexuality between the three personalities "We can do it softcore if you want but you should know I take it both ways" and "frightened cornered gemini tactics".
Gemini Tactics probably refers to his wife. It's her brand and nickname.
