| The Verve Pipe – The Freshmen Lyrics | 21 years ago |

WHEN I WAS YOUNG I KNEW EVERYTHING. we all think we know everything at a young age. i thought i did. i realise i didn't know sh*t until i was 36. AND SHE, A PUNK, WHO RARELY TOOK ADVICE. how many people do we know like that? NOW I'M GUILT STRICKEN, SOBBING, WITH MY HEAD ON THE FLOOR. something happened, that caused this reaction, but i wouldn't want to give that away this early in the song, so let's through in an some ambiguity: STOP A BABY'S BREATH, AND A SHOE FULL OF RICE, NO. first of all, forget the NO. stop a baby's breath is just that. abort the baby. a shoe full of rice is a result of a wedding. so--stop a baby's breath AND then you stop a wedding. she's pregnant, get her to abort, and then there's no wedding. and you know what? I CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, CAUSE SHE WAS TOUCHING HER FACE. when i wrote this song, the divinyls had a song out called i touch myself. the tv was on, she was touching her face in the video. very sexy. so, i can't be held responsible because she was trying to be sexy, trying to seduce me, etc. I WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, SHE FELL IN LOVE IN THE FIRST PLACE. i didn't tell her to fall in love. FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT MADE US THINK THAT WE WERE WISE, AND WE'D NEVER COMPROMISE. what was i thinking back then. who am i to put a girl though that? why was i unable to compromise? guilty feelings. FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANNOT BELIEVE WE'D EVER DIE FOR THESE SINS, WE WERE MERELY FRESHMEN. we were just kids. let it go. we all make mistakes, etc. MY BEST FRIEND TOOK A WEEKS VACATION TO FORGET HER he needed to get away because of what happened. HIS GIRL TOOK A WEEK'S WORTH OF VALIUM AND SLEPT now--this is why this song is not that strong literally--it's confusing. HIS girl is MY girl. the same girl that had the abortion has now killed herself. NOW HE'S GUILT-STRICKEN SOBBING WITH HIS HEAD ON THE FLOOR, THINKS ABOUT HER NOW AND HOW HE NEVER REALLY WEPT HE SAYS. he has the same guilty feelings that i do about the abortion and death. WE TRIED TO WASH OUR HANDS OF ALL OF THIS, WE NEVER TALK OF OUR LACKING RELATIONSHIPS we rarely spoke after the incident--we just tried to forget it. we never spoke of her or the fact that we can't have a decent relationship with anyone since then. WE FELL THROUGH THE ICE WHEN WE TRIED NOT TO SLIP no matter how careful you might be, there are other perils out there. that IS what it means |

| Against Me! – We Did It All for Don Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Please tell me why we couldn’t stay Don’t let this feeling ever go away Let this memory forever be inside of me Through every hour of every day It’s with the company of these friends That we drove on through the night We were carried by the wheels of armageddon We’re gonna force ourselves to live Thankful it’s hurt more than we’ve ever felt It’s just our means to an end And honestly we were armed with our best intentions Maybe those intentions alone are just enough to get us anywhere but here In the middle of america Six cylinders will take us further than any president The same promises that we forgot the last time There’s no difference between staying and a bullet in the head Maybe it’s gonna come from the radio Or the next 8 hour day Driving to the next town A collect call home to your best friend We are the company we keep We could live off of dumpsters if we have to Sell our blood by the pint to make rent This kind of dignity doesn’t come easy But you’ll never find it for sale thats how the song goes |
