| The Gaslight Anthem – Mae Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Tears are often said to be salty so that may be a kiss given while crying. Not too sure how that's supposed to link up with the following verse. | |
| Marina and the Diamonds – Primadonna Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I swear every time I listen to this song I always hear "I really don't know why it's such a big dildo" | |

"their singing isn't good"? gosh I hadn't noticed, thanks for pointing that out mate! Now you told me I don't think I like Blind Guardian much any more. And their "background music" is not good either, you say? you may want to explain to us what you mean exactly by that exotic concept of yours. Because when I listen to a song I don't usually hear any "background music" - I must admit, I'm a bit lost there. |

| Kick-ass song. He's clearly intoxicated. The song is, quite simply really, about a bad bad acid trip. | |

| I love it! Nice Jingle Bells "quote" at the very beginning, introducing the whole Chrismas theme of the song... | |

| Phish – You Enjoy Myself Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"wash your feet, they drive me into a frenzy"... I think those were the original intended words, because they make perfect sense with the "boy/man/god/shit" outcry... and it's jokey and very much like the guys.... :-P then... yeah, Trey just started singing "uffizi" instead of "your feet", and "firenze"/"frenzy", which is nonsense but must have brought back fun memories of the trip to Italy... oh, and as for the title... I'm actually Italian but I can't figure out how "you enjoy myself" can possibly be "a too-literal translation from Italian into English for best wishes", as reported on Wikipedia... my take is, if the anectote is actually true which of course we don't know, but... the Italian guy was probably trying to say something like "you amuse me"/"you're a funny person"... btw, love this song! |

| Phish – You Enjoy Myself Lyrics | 19 years ago |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Enjoy_Myself "You Enjoy Myself", known in short as YEM by Phish Heads, is a Phish song written by Trey Anastasio. It was the most frequently played song by the band, having been played at 39% of their 1183 shows[1]. It is also one of the oldest songs in Phish's catalog, having been first performed live on February 3, 1986. The song was featured on Phish's third album Junta (although a shorter, a capella version appeared on their 1986 self-titled debut known as The White Tape), and was a staple of the group's many live performances. Like The Divided Sky from the same era, the piece is classically structured and fans have dubbed each section of the song with names like "Pre-Nirvana", "Nirvana", "The Note", "The Second Note", and "The Charge." When the song was performed live, one section featured Anastasio and bassist Mike Gordon jumping on tampolines in tandem. It is reported that the title came from an Italian who said "You enjoy myself, yes?" to Anastasio and Jon Fishman when they toured Europe in 1985, playing in the streets. Supposedly, this was a too-literal translation from Italian into English for "best wishes." After falling down laughing, Anastasio wrote the song. Halfway through the song are the only clearly comprehensible lyrics in the song: "Boy! ... Man! ... God! ... Shit!," followed by a line whose meaning has perpetually been subject to discussion. One popular interpretation is "Wash uffitzi, drive me to Firenze," referring to the Italian trip, where Anastasio and Fishman lived in a car. The lyrics have also been interpreted as "Wash your feet they drive me into a frenzy" in reference to the lack of Fishman's hygiene on that same trip. The most probable explanation for this line is that "Uffizi" ('you-FEET-tzee') is a pun on an Italian-accented pronunciation of the words "your feet." Uffizi is a museum the pair visited in Firenze, or Florence, Italy. At a spring near Uffizi, it is reported that they washed their feet. One theory is that the quoted Italian hailed from this area — in which case the meaning of the song as a whole becomes clearer. |

| Ugly Kid Joe – Cloudy Skies Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
great... one of my childhood's fave bands not sure about these lyrics, though, Whit's singing is not always easy to make out basically I think lots of the lyrics to UKJ songs are just stuff they came up with that happened to sound good, and they just didn't give a f**k My take is: "Not seen, it’s been a while, since ..." -> "Now it seems it's been a while..." "There ain’t nothing to hear" -> "There ain’t nothing to fear" "And see the passes we’ve outgrown" -> "And see the faces we’ve outgrown" also... "clouded skies"?!? how about "cloudy skies"....? hence the title.... :-P |
