| Great track. Pretty heavy. Around the 4:40 should have gone with an epic solo. A bit repetitive in the end. | |
| Faith No More – The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Actually I always thought this was about a gangster whacking another gangster. like in the mafia. they all pretend to be friends but really they are enemies. The rape stuff sort of makes sense also. | |
| Faith No More – Midlife Crisis Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To me it's just Patton mocking 30 somethings having mid life crisis (e.g. Madonna/Axl Rose). But he's throwing in his own bits like they try to be perfect, he thinks perfection is a skinned knee (he loved to watch knee operations on tv) Basically a lot of people in their 30s get desperate and over compensate, they rent an opinion to have one. They are kind of torturing themselves to be more than they are. But Patton seemed to revel in being a bit odd or sick, which separates him from the status quo "mid life crisis" - Without me I'm only you (you're only you) He's basically attacking yuppie/baby boomers, right? |

Another thing is it's not about the book directly. It's sung from the perspective of a Holden Caulfield Syndrome suffer ie a victim of the book. Axl is trying to sing from the perspective of those individuals young and old effected by the book. Then end up in a mental hospital. Then the last verse is Axl paying tribute to Lennon while point his finger at the Salinger. The chorus is kind of mocking the verses. Like some said there may refs to book scattered through out it, but according to Axl he only read it once and threw it straight in the trash, so I don't it's much more than semi-conscious refs. Personally When I heard it I felt it was about Kurt Cobain's suicide, but that's another story... |

I was looking at the old song Comin' Thru the Rye Gin[C] a body meet a body Comin thro' the rye, Gin a body kiss a body, Need a body cry?[D] The old song was about teenagers meeting in the fields of rye to make out. Salinger changed it too Catch a body coming through the rye, as in stop them growing up. Axl changed it to "Somebody Took a body" turning it back on Salinger. I always thought that was smart, given what the song is about, even presented in this composite form. |
