a fairly good song till "peace shalom." it gives you hope that it will be epic, and then dashes your hopes by doing something fairly uninspiring, ironic, and bad. |

| Weezer – The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn) Lyrics
| 17 years ago

this is the worst fucking song i have ever heard. it doesn't work on a serious level, it doesn't work on an irony level, it doesn't work on a rampant studio experiment level. it's like rivers was sitting in his home and thinking, "what if i put every bad idea in music ever into one song?" there are sirens in the song.
FUCKING SIRENS. and a spoken word section. and a choir. and heavy handed, force fed irony. and white people rapping. and prince, but not the good prince. and studio added applause.
WHY THE HELL DO YOU LIKE THIS??? |

why can't this song just be about kicking the shit out of bunnies??? you people read too deep into this stuff, just enjoy it for what it is. honestly, would anyone choose to relate their feelings through lines like, "Ten words: Snapping bunnies twitching gurgling forget the bombs IN YOUR EYES." obviously he was abused as a child in an ice cream truck containing blue bunny brand ice cream, it's so clear. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – Turnin' On The Screw Lyrics

"Turning on the Screw" i'm pretty sure comes from "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. It's a ghost story about a governess who goes crazy.
I haven't read the book, but maybe some who has could look for references in the song. Most obvious is the Silence of the Lambs quote, another horror story. But i bet there's more. |

well, the song is about our bullshit generation. most of us youth lead such empty lifes, not a single moment that's important that isn't a huge tragedy (9/11, iraq)
"I am so homesick now for
Someone that I never knew
I am so homesick now for
Someplace I will never be"
i feel that way so much. like, "where's the childhood that you fucks stole from me?" |

holy shit, you always know that a song is good if it can spark so much disscussion, so many different views. Ted Leo is amazing, i'm going to listen to all his songs a bit more carefully in the future. |

So, i've got it backwards. This dude has a shit life. He just parties and has shallow meaningless one night stands. But he met a girl who seems like she could change all that, and pull him out of this cycle. This is his plea to her to remain in his life. |

Awesome song. A manifesto against our generation's bullshit excuse of a "counter culture." And lol, half these words are on my vocab test. |

This is one of the best church bashing songs EVER. I grew up in Utah, and not as a mormon, so I know what Tim's saying. The song, to me, at least is making the point no one has all the facts, so no one (the church) can give us the answer. That's kind of the first to lines too; "Before we ever saw straight," (before we every knew all the facts), "We were grasping at straws," (we were using what little we know to jump the gun on the answers.) |
