Just For Me Lyrics
Just another one four five about as cute as can be
And danceable but I don't really care
I was just glad I'm alive and I had nothing else to do
And besides the beat was already there
Oh that's right, no it wasn't me, I didn't do it
Say what you will but you can't blame a thing on me
And really even if you could I said I couldn't care less
Not now not today this morning you got me feeling free
Yeah just me
This one's, this one's just for me
Yeah, yeah just me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
I swear to god I took a walk and it occured to me while I was outside
That if I was looking for a miracle I might do well to look up to the sky
The dawn breaking open the day you'd say that it was blinding me
But still I had to stop right there and wonder why
Now I know for certain cause I've been around
That the sun shines every day even though you might not get to see
No matter who no matter where no matter weather permitting
The miracle is that sometimes it can burn just for you
...Or just me
Oh this one's burning just for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
I wrote the editor for some news print shots
But he just sent me some old forget me nots
And this ain't Vegas but I've played the slots
So I figure on dropping one coin in
And some old Seminole yelled look out below
You know long ago they wouldn't let him go
But now they're laying low in Idaho
And so Geronimo, he finally gets to win
...Or lose, who cares about news
We all live and schmooze as we choose
The effort's always in the details
I've put in my time
I bump and grind and rise and shine
I whine and whine and pine and ache like everybody else
Yeah me
This one's, this one's just for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah me
This one's, this one's just for me
Yeah me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
Just another one four five about as cute as can be
And danceable but I don't really care
And danceable but I don't really care
I was just glad I'm alive and I had nothing else to do
And besides the beat was already there
Say what you will but you can't blame a thing on me
And really even if you could I said I couldn't care less
Not now not today this morning you got me feeling free
This one's, this one's just for me
Yeah, yeah just me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
That if I was looking for a miracle I might do well to look up to the sky
The dawn breaking open the day you'd say that it was blinding me
But still I had to stop right there and wonder why
Now I know for certain cause I've been around
That the sun shines every day even though you might not get to see
No matter who no matter where no matter weather permitting

Yeah me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
And danceable but I don't really care

"Just another one four five about as cute as can be And danceable but I don't really care"
What does that mean?
One of my favorite 'mainstream' BT tunes.

The one, four, five thing is referring to chord progressions - a very typical, common, pop/blues chord progression.

I found that 1 4 5 is a guitar chord.
Just another one four five about as cute as can be And danceable but I don't really care I was just glad I'm alive and I had nothing else to do And besides the beat was already there [He wrote a catchy song because he felt like it. He knows it wasn’t well-written, but he “doesn’t really care”.]
Oh that's right, no it wasn't me, I didn't do it Say what you will but you can't blame a thing on me And really even if you could I said I couldn't care less Not now not today this morning you got me feeling free [People tell him writing the song was a bad idea, but he wrote it out of his own good mood.]
Yeah just me This one's, this one's just for me Yeah, yeah just me Some things, some things are just for me [Emphasizing that the song was written just for him. Not for a reason other than just because he wanted to.]
I swear to god I took a walk and it occurred to me while I was outside That if I was looking for a miracle I might do well to look up to the sky The dawn breaking open the day you'd say that it was blinding me But still I had to stop right there and wonder why Now I know for certain cause I've been around That the sun shines every day even though you might not get to see No matter who no matter where no matter weather permitting The miracle is that sometimes it can burn just for you [He comes to the realization that things will always have a bright side. Even if you can’t see it, it’s there, waiting to show its face. It inspired him to write the song.]
...Or just me Oh this one's burning just for me Yeah, yeah, yeah me Some things, some things are just for me [Like the last chorus, it’s emphasizing that the song is just for him.]
I wrote the editor for some news print shots But he just sent me some old forget-me-nots And this ain't Vegas but I've played the slots So I figure on dropping one coin in And some old Seminole yelled look out below You know long ago they wouldn't let him go But now they're laying low in Idaho And so Geronimo, he finally gets to win [I couldn’t figure this part out, which leads me to believe that my interpretation could be completely wrong.]
...Or lose, who cares about news We all live and schmooze as we choose The effort's always in the details I've put in my time I bump and grind and rise and shine I whine and whine and pine and ache like everybody else [He’s spend as much time as everyone else whining and complaining about nothing, but realized that it’s all for naught.]
Yeah me This one's, this one's just for me Yeah, yeah, yeah me Some things, some things are just for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah me This one's, this one's just for me Yeah me Some things, some things are just for me
Just another one four five about as cute as can be And danceable but I don't really care.
@Bravura The bridge of the song about news print shots, Las Vegas slots, Geronimo, etc... is just John being John. It fits the motif of the song perfectly if you know who he is and how he write. First, he has always been criticized for adding "too many syllables" to each line. Second, there's a lot of skating and nonsense lyrics in BT songs more for musicality than the meaning of the lyrics. And lastly, Popper himself has said he like to add references to popular people/places/things or fictional fairy tale figures. It's just the way he writes and it's...

They have so many amazing tunes and this is definitely one of my top favorites.
