| Kings of Leon – California Waiting Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| now, here's the real question regarding this song: which version do you prefer? the original, polished one that they removed from the album before releasing it in the US? or the raw, truer kings-of-leon style version? | |

| Kings of Leon – The Bucket Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I don't know if any of you have seen that German interview that Jared did. But, it's one of my favorites. I bring it up because Jared mentions that whenever they have a song with particularly deep (or even disturbing) lyrics, they try to come up with a happy melody to go along with it -- because it results in an unexpected, bittersweet effect. The opposite is true if they have happy lyrics etc. etc. I think The Bucket is a pretty good example of that technique. The lyrics are clearly serious, but the melody -- while maybe melancholy -- isn't as serious. | |

| yeah the bucket has nothing to do with suicide | |
| Kings of Leon – Talihina Sky Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| it's just like a plain white t-shirt, you know like a tank top for guys. you've seen em'. we like to call them "wife beaters" down here in the south, lol (I'm from texas). haha, so caleb would be familiar with the term. anyway, they're basically called wife beaters cause' rednecks are notorious for wearing them. | |
| Kings of Leon – Milk Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| yeah, I think you guys are reading way too much into this. like cardiaque said, it's about a girl he was dating in la, and what I take from it, is that the song is just a description of how she is so a-typical and magical. all of her quirks. she's late for school, she doesn't like milk, she's really sweet and wholesome (she'll loan you her toothbrush) but then she's not afraid to have fun (she'll bartend your party). | |
| Kings of Leon – Where Nobody Knows Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think these are the lyrics: With your hands in the air, you look like a girl, At the fair with the bubbly eyes. Stood and watched you, pulling at a rock, But the rock don't compromise. Come up to me and say, "Why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy"? Said, "Thanks for the insult and compliment, you'll never forget my face no more". I can hardly reach you, And I know it's getting harder to be you, So I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows. The city I could take you, It would take a little second to break you, So I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows. Yeah, I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows. Lookin' pretty clean, sitting on a swing, That don't mean a thing at all. The heels of my feet 's a barkin' like a pack of dogs, Sickin' on a crow in this hall. Taken for your word, taken for a ride, Taken for the evening dead or alive. Warming up the car, packin' us some powder to play. I can hardly reach you, And I know it's getting harder to be you, So I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows. The city I could take you, It would take a little second to break you, So I'll be droppin you where nobody knows. Yeah, I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows....Jessica! Head like a stone, stone like a rock, Clogging up your nose again. Papa is a searchin', Devil is a knocking, Juice swimming up my skin, here it goes now. |

| yeah, I second you huffman. and did you get that from that german interview with jared... cause that's practically a direct quote, if you didn't. crazy. he said they had a hard time doing the whole "I'll get my guns from the south" thing cause they didn't want to further the whole obsession with their southern-ness. but it's supposed to be a joke. it's supposed to be ironic, like "this is what you have wanted us to be. here it is on a platter. never ask for it again." | |

wow...I haven't checked this site in forever. thanks mkfanatic, you're kickass for calling me kickass! and no, notFRANK, happyalone.com isn't an indie rock page, it's a kings of leon forum and it's amazing. I don't like the official forums, cause they're notorious for having annoying people on them. but everyone at happyalone is really nice, and extremely helpful. oh, and I thought I'd set the record straight on the explanation I gave for the bucket... I've since heard the kings interviewed several times and apparently it's about touring, and how you can become a jackass when you constantly have people building up your ego (screaming fans -- girls). it's about them catching themselves being assholes, and not wanting to turn into them. |

| I can't believe you think calebs voice is annoying!!! especially on trani!! calebs voice is responsible for part of what makes the band so amazing. I don't know if you remember trani live, but it is f*cking amazing. find a bootleg on happyalone.com or something, and give it another shot...it's incredible. oh, and I've met them and I don't remember caleb being that short...and he wasn't fussy at all! he was wearing a wife beater and jeans during the show. | |

actually, I read that caleb wrote this song about jared. It makes a lot of sense. They were touring a lot, and jared's the youngest (eighteen). It's basically caleb's observations about jared (how he's dealing with the fame), and the things that would get on his nerves. look at it in the context of the song, "I'll be the one to show you the way, you'll be the one to always complain. three in the morning come a bang bang bang, 'all out of fags and I just can't wait.' " another clue is in the last verse when he says "I hate the way you talk, your japanese scream." not only is jared known for his girly laugh...the first bass he played was japanese. but at the end of the day, as cliché as it may be, it's about brotherly love, "always remember the pact that we made. too young to die, but old is the grave." that's my two cents. call me obsessed. but kol are the best band ever. |
