| Yuck – Get Away Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
i love the opening lyric, "break it down and then break it up again," seems to fit with the whole Yuck sound: rehashing the past (Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Teenage Fanclub, Sonic Youth), but putting their own stamp on it. It's like the first lyric you hear of theirs colours their whole project.
And I think the "summer sun" might be referencing that infamous Pavement line from "Gold Soundz:" "so drunk in the August sun," plus it's arguably Pavement's best song. |

such a great opening LINE: "In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection."
Though I have no idea what it means, bwah-hah-hah! |

do you think it has any correlation to the band Pink & Brown on Load Records, or just that both are referencing a certain sexual operation? |

super-good song from an amazing album. Oh, and Clytemnestra refers to the wife of Agamemnon, the daughter of Zeus & Leda when Zeus turned into a swan to bear two children with Leda. |

j-rob, i would have to disagree
it's talking about a bus anf the different features (brakes, WHEELS), how would "whales" fit into that concept? sorry, but i think you're completely wrong |

I read somewhere that Bonzo's count-in refers to how many beers they had been drinking before they recorded this song |

Can I just say Bonzo's Montreux is wicked, and what exactly does Montreux mean? I've looked it up to no avail, what is this mystery word! |

well, hayden certainly is a good storyteller, and he proves this in this one. pretty straight forward, his girlfriend left him for another dude, the other guy isn't really manly enough to stick with his love, opting to run away instead of trying to save her. Except cut the guy some slack, because, as hayden says, "he started to run, thinking she had begun", he thought she was running with him. But alas, Hayden says he would've saved her if he was still with her. |

when did he last play it live? apparently he doesn't play it anymore, which sucks, because i bet this is such a sweet song live. The meaning is pretty straight forward, don't think anyone needs to dwell on some deep interpretations here. |

| Piebald – Long Nights Lyrics

This is such a sweet song, I love it so much. Near the end where Travis says, "Life is what happens while we're making plans", could this be a reference to the John Lennon song 'Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy' where Lennon sings, "Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans". I think so! |

At his concert in Edmonton in October this year he said this song was about being on tour for a long time and the saddness it brings him. Obviously, I guess, it's about a girl he misses while he's away. Pretty straight forward. |
