Still love the story about it. Al asked Kurt if he could do it, and Kurt’s only question was if it was going to be about food (a common subject for early Al), and Al replied that it was going to be about how nobody could understand his singing, and Kurt was chill with it. |

| Tom Smith – 307 ALE Lyrics
| 5 years ago

A song inspired by a license plate, It's a bit of geekiness about an impossibly potent potable, For those who don't know how proof work, it's the amount of alcohol where 1 proof is pretty much one half of a percent of the total volume. So 200 proof is 100% alcohol. Thus thus, as the song says, is 153.5% alcohol due to the reality-breaking accident of its creation. |

@[GoDeeper:26063] ever since I first heard it, I also got the feeling that she’s gone because she’s passed on. The whole ‘Now I know God has his reasons’ just smacks of something a bit more final than just leaving him. |

@[blueraiderfan:22937] it's actually a bit of censorship in the song. The version in concert makes a bit more sense: "I fuck with my boots on, but you fuck with my head." In short, she keeps playing mind games with him for kicks. |

The live version has an interesting change that works well with this song.
I know there's been all kinds of shoes
Underneath your bed
Now I fuck with my boots on
'Cause you fuck with my head
And something tells me this time
I'm down to my last licks |

@[faust:20280] "Lamé is a type of fabric woven or knit with thin ribbons of metallic fiber, as opposed to guipé, where the ribbons are wrapped around a fibre yarn. It is usually gold or silver in color; sometimes copper lamé is seen. Lamé comes in different varieties, depending on the composition of the other threads in the fabric." - it was a reference to the weird uniforms the old Klingons wore in TOS. |

One of my favorite songs on the album. And despite them being overlooked, Load/ReLoad were very good albums. Stuff like The Unforgiven II, Mama Said, Until It Sleeps and Outlaw Torn just don't get the credit they deserve. |

| The Megas – The Quick and the Blue/Quickman Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
The song focuses around Quickman, usually selected last in a playthrough of Megaman 2, the game the album is inspired by. He's watched all of his brothers fall, and despite his programming and the people about him spurring him on, he feels fate pressing inexorably upon him. The question asked early on, "Does Death Wear Blue?" is a recurring theme in the later part of the album, likening the blue-armored Megaman to a robotic analogue to the Grim Reaper as he destroys more and more of Wily's creations.
The second half of the song, with its repeated "My Circuits Slow" is a reference to Quickman's vulnerability in the game, Flashman's Flash Stopper. The song also shows a surrender to the inevitability the last few of his brethren had felt, knowing he has no chance to win, even if he has to try anyway. |

Someone on Youtube made a very good comment about the original version and the Piano/vocal only version. The original is definitely a heartfelt "Get lost" from a jilted lover, but the piano version has more of a wistful note to it, as if trying to deny that he's hurt about it and not quite convincing himself. |
