The White Stripes – Effect and Cause Lyrics 18 years ago
The lyrics to this are just a little bit wrong...


I guess you have to have a probelm
if you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a trainwreck
then they put me in traction
well first came an action
and then a reaction
but you can't switch 'em around
for your own satisfaction
well you burnt my house down
and then got mad at my reaction

well in every complicated situation
of a human relation,
making sense of it all
takes a whole lot of concentration
well you can't blame a baby
for her pregnant ma
and if there's one of these
on her auto applause

its just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause

well you can't take the effect
and make it the cause
i didn't rob a bank
because you made up the law
blame me for robbing peter
but don't you blame paul
can't take the effect
and make it the cause

i aint the reason that you gave me
no reason to return your call
you built a house of cards
and got shocked when you saw them fall
well i aint saying i'm innocent
in fact the reverse
but if your heading to the grave
you don't blame the hearse
you're like a little girl yelling at her brother
cos you lost his ball

you keep blaming me for what you did
but that aint all
the way you clean up a wreck
is enough to get one caused
you seem to forget just how this song started
i'm reacting to you
cos you left me broken hearted

its just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause

well you can't take the effect
and make it the cause
i didn't rob a bank
cos you made up the law
blame me for robbing peter
don't you blame paul
can't take the effect
and make it the cause

Morrissey – Driving Your Girlfriend Home Lyrics 18 years ago
I think the girl in the song is regretting being with her beau and has feelings for Morrissey. She tells him of her relationship woes, hoping he will show her some empathy and maybe it will lead to something more. Morrissey, however, is either not interested or is being very respectful to his friend and declining the girl's feelings.

Fall Out Boy – I've Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers Lyrics 18 years ago
"I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers"

The title could refer to how he was in a relationship, and he thought that it was IT but now they're not even together, let alone thinking about marriage.

"New York eyes, Chicago thighs"

This is my favorite line in the song.
The girl does her makeup like she belongs in a big(ger) city than Chicago, but once he gets her alone, without the makeup, she's just a Midwest girl hiding behind who she wants to be. He's mentioned this about a girl (probably Jeanae) in his journal before. Not those exact words, but pretty similar.
