Somebody Start a Fight or Something

TISM

Listen motherfucker, let me make this clear
I've had your fucking poetry up to here-
Your tender recollections and wistful reminisce:
Excuse me, Mr. Shakespeare, while I go have a piss

Somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
I said somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
I said somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo

If I wanted Chekhov I'd've worn my polo neck
And brought along some high strung bitch who's anorexiec
But I'm wearing just a tee-shirt, getting off my tits,
The chick I'm with's a barker, and my life is full of shit.

Somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
I said somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Somebody start a fight or something
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Somebody start a fight or something

I'm not a violent man, but I'll give no guarantee
When I'm faced with symbolism and onamatopee
There's a fucking artist!-Let me get my stick!
You want a fucking beating? C'mon, then go sick.

Start a fight, start a fight,
Start a fight, start a fight,
Start a fight, start a fight,
Start a fight, start a fight

Somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
I said somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Somebody start a fight or something
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Somebody start a fight or something
Somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something
I said somebody, somebody, somebody start a fight or something

    I guess he doesn't like poetry.

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

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."
