I'm a Fall Out Boy fan, but this is faaaaar from being a great cover. I do however like Pete's vocals. Patrick's are kinda out of place, but Pete's are pretty damn nice. -Lexi C |

Brilliant song. The pictures she paints, the people she describes... And the way it's written too... This song's an absolute masterpiece. -Lexi C |

It's about Traci Lords? Wow, now THERE'S something I can relate to. Actually, I'd be able to relate to this song anyway. Great stuff. =) -Lexi C |

|
Yeah, the guy in the hospital's obviously Mick - when people here started saying it was Nikki I thought I must've gone insane or something. It shows him dying in a hospital, then the nurse seems to violently stab him - kinda confused by that. =p It doesn't look like an injection, it looks more like the final blow that kills someone... -Lexi C |

| Mötley Crüe – Enslaved Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Nikki said that him and Tommy each wrote a song for the Greatest Hits record, and that the two songs were Enslaved and Bitter Pill. I'm guessing that Enslaved was Tommy's song? It seems more like his style of writing. I enjoy this song, but now I know the lyrics... Ugh. Tommy shouldn't write songs. *sighs sadly* It's not all bad, of course - "The question is / When it's all done / Who will stand / And who will run / The answer is on my tongue / I won't be a slave to anyone" is alright. It's just the "So be sure that you are makin the best of what you have / The truth is all within yourself" that's absolutely mindblowingly fuckawful. Grrr. Nikki should ALWAYS write Motley's songs, with maybe a little help from Vince now and then (if Nikki + Vince = Piece Of Your Action and Ten Seconds To Love, that's kewl with me). You just can't replace Nikki's lyrics. |

| Fall Out Boy – Hum Hallelujah Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The "I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital: One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door" thing is to be taken as one long line. He's saying that the chapel's a constant reminder of your mortality and possible death while you're lying in the hospital bed, and so it is that there's a possibility he'll be out of the door and never coming back at any moment; he is not, in short, a faithful lover. | |
| Scouting for Girls – She's So Lovely Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
...I hate to be a troll, but I heard this song on the radio and thought it was actually the worst song I've heard since Every Day I Love You Less And Less by the Kaiser Chiefs. Could you honestly write a worse song than this? "I love the way she makes me drool / I think that you are beautiful"? It's like they let the village idiot write a song... Argh. I'm sorry, it's really, really awful songwriting. There's no harmonic depth, no rhythmic depth, it relies entirely on repetition to be catchy (repeating "She's so lovely" 7 times is not writing a chorus) and the lyrics are diabolically bad. it's just the definition of bad writing. |

The most clever lyrics on the whole album, methinks. 'I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door' If you didn't get what that was, it was Pete being witty. As in, when you're lying there dying in a hospital you've got one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door (ie, in the next world). You're halfway between the worlds of the living and the dead. Equally he's saying that as a lover, he's in her bed when he wants to be, but he's always ready to run off. 'A teenage vow in a parking lot "'Til tonight do us part"' That's a reference to the marriage vow 'Til death do us part. There could be a duality thing, where it sounds like he's talking about a one night stand but he's actually talking about the fact that he's not planning on living beyond tonight. |

| Fall Out Boy – Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm fairly sure it's about the music business, about walking into offices and meeting "important" (as in, rich) people who are really quite nice to them, but they're totally aware that, as soon as they stop selling records, they're gonna lose that "friendship." As for the "backless black dress", is he singing about shagging someone famous, which he's only able to do 'cause he's ALSO famous? I dunno =p |

One of the funniest things about Pete's writing, that a lot of you people are totally failing to pick up on, is his use of speech/quotation marks. The lyrics go: Signing off, "I'm alright in bed But I'm better with a pen" The kid was alright but it went to his head Those are in speech marks. Therefore, they're either Pete quoting something he said once, Pete quoting something someone else said once, or Pete quoting a film he saw once and quite liked. Any of the above is possible, after all. Notice another use of the quotation marks? "There's too much green to feel blue" Yep, that's a quote, too. The real question is "Where from"? |
