Buy Me Pony Lyrics
Don't you wanna be
A personality
An ocean in the sea
But you'll never make it
If you can't shake it
So don't mistake it
Just try and fake it
And I want you to know
You don't have far to go
So we'll use all your dough
To buy new clothes
And see what flows
And powder your nose
For those photos
You're almost on your way
To popularity
And we'll teach you to play
With icy stare
And punk rock hair
And beatnik flair
We'll take you there
'Coz there's nobody else like you
And we sure care just what you're doing
After we have gone our seperate ways
So don't you want to be
A big time entity
Your place in history
But don't be scared
Of what we said
'Coz there's no end
To being your friend
But wait out in the hall
We've just received a call
We'll have to dump you all
But don't you try
To pass us by
'Coz we own you
Until we're through
And there's so many round like you
And we don't care just what you're doing
After we have gone our seperate ways
A personality
An ocean in the sea
But you'll never make it
If you can't shake it
So don't mistake it
Just try and fake it
And I want you to know
You don't have far to go
So we'll use all your dough
To buy new clothes
And see what flows
And powder your nose
For those photos
You're almost on your way
To popularity
And we'll teach you to play
With icy stare
And punk rock hair
And beatnik flair
We'll take you there
And we sure care just what you're doing
After we have gone our seperate ways
A big time entity
Your place in history
But don't be scared
Of what we said
'Coz there's no end
To being your friend
But wait out in the hall
We've just received a call
We'll have to dump you all
But don't you try
To pass us by
'Coz we own you
Until we're through
And we don't care just what you're doing
After we have gone our seperate ways

This song is so fun to dance to. I do a lot of random silly dancing. It's about how record companies use and exploit their musicians(or non musician pop stars). They build them up and kick them out when they're no longer popular and bringing in the money.
Yep. That's basically it. And it's about bands selling out for this and then losing it all. Great song as well. Go Spiderbait.
They title is also from that Simpsons episode when Homer buys Lisa a pony
fail.
fail.
to me it sounds like a bunch of groupies trying to be cool, so there telling them that they'll take them there -"You're almost on your way To popularity And we'll teach you to play With icy stare And punk rock hair And beatnik flair We'll take you there" ah but then again i know nothing on the background of this song i just love the sound
Ah major record labels...
My favourite lines:
"but wait out in the hall, we've just received a call we'll have to dump you all but don't you try to pass us by 'cause we own you until we're through"
i enjoy drinking to this song
btw i don't mean to sound picky but it's called Buy Me A Pony honestly i thought for a moment it wasn't here until i looked up Spiderbait. this song knocked Tool's Stinkfist the top spot in some countdown down here in OZ in '96. i can't believe i'm only like the 8th person or something who's commented on this song cos it's frickin' awsm. agree with most comments here it's definitely about the music industry and how it focuses on one person and then quickly goes to another. so aggravating.
