In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Texico bitches, have you begun again?
Texico bitches, I think you found a friend
Texico bitches, the air you breathe is real
Texico bitches, why do you like to steal?
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
Texico bitches, this town is going down
(Sparkle like an old drone)
Texico bitches, I hope you stick around
(Melt like a snow cone)
Texico bitches, the guns beneath the youth
(Talking on the phone-phone)
Texico bitches, this story needs some truth
(Every time I'm going, I'm only gonna miss you)
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
Texico bitches, the light is coming in
Texico bitches, I think we're bound to win
Texico bitches, my weapon is my truce (Tire of a hobo)
Texico bitches, I do not like to lose (Talking on the phone-phone)
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe flag
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
Texico bitches, I think you found a friend
Texico bitches, the air you breathe is real
Texico bitches, why do you like to steal?
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
Texico bitches, this town is going down
(Sparkle like an old drone)
Texico bitches, I hope you stick around
(Melt like a snow cone)
Texico bitches, the guns beneath the youth
(Talking on the phone-phone)
Texico bitches, this story needs some truth
(Every time I'm going, I'm only gonna miss you)
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag
Texico bitches, the light is coming in
Texico bitches, I think we're bound to win
Texico bitches, my weapon is my truce (Tire of a hobo)
Texico bitches, I do not like to lose (Talking on the phone-phone)
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe flag
I wanna be fair
Like a wannabe fag

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
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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
absolutely no problem-- these are my first lyrics ever! :O but yes that sounds like it could be it, too. hrm...
Most of the correct lyrics are on Broken Social Scene's website under discography. They only parts they don't have are the lines in parantheses.

topple like a volvo sounds like it might be 'talkin on the phone', with something before or after the phone. thanks for these.
Im into the music sound great gutar work, thanks for the words to put with the there sound , Im new to this group. Dave Clark
"Sparkle like an oil drum" instead of "sparkle like an old drum"?
@whatcha- i was -just- thinking that.
Where you have "i wanna be (fair/fed?)//like a wanna-be (fad/fag?)" I hear "I wanna be fat//like I wanna-be fed".
Seriously I have no idea how to interpret this song XD Only thing I can think of is that these 'Texico bitches' are well... bitches and doing everything the song says.
does anyone else notice that on the album/music video it's spelled wrong--texIco bitches? :o maybe it's just my version, i just thought that was strange
It's not spelled wrong, it's about Texico, not Texaco. Texico is a little town in New Mexico, on the Texas border just outside of Clovis.
Yeah, it's Texico, not Texaco.
