Wish List Lyrics
mom and dad cant remember if i told ya
how glad i am i finally got to know ya
years from when we met after i left home
let me sing you sweet and distant fictions
on lonely nights you would lay and listen
if you dont like it wait until i fix it
the morning comes and cops invade my conscience
i run around the house of heated atom
cant forsee the outcome you can lean to one side
if ever i should seem to take for granted
this lovely life that i have been handed
darlin dont just stand there, come knock me around
because i know that i can ride my way out of this black hole
back to all the things that i missed
sometimes i wonder if i even exist
add another line to my wish list
the overview is not the same as going through
the present joy and all it took to come to this
to know the ending would be pretending
they took my words and wrote them off as passin
it pissed me off enough to keep me writing
go make your living boy, ill go home fighting
cause i know i can ride my way out of this black hole
back to all the things that i missed
you stay, digging at your own little dish
its just another thing on my wish list
if i should slide over and under
you know i just might
stay until i get it right
some people say im corny or im morbid
i always thought i was touching, i was tragic
one mans magic, is anothers plastic
well which one is it, am i sweetness am i sickness
if i say both youll say i lack commitment
of course youre right, of course im right
but i know i can ride my way out of this black hole
back to all the things that i missed
sometimes i dont even know you exist
its just another thing on my wish list
how glad i am i finally got to know ya
years from when we met after i left home
on lonely nights you would lay and listen
if you dont like it wait until i fix it
i run around the house of heated atom
cant forsee the outcome you can lean to one side
this lovely life that i have been handed
darlin dont just stand there, come knock me around
back to all the things that i missed
sometimes i wonder if i even exist
add another line to my wish list
the present joy and all it took to come to this
to know the ending would be pretending
it pissed me off enough to keep me writing
go make your living boy, ill go home fighting
back to all the things that i missed
you stay, digging at your own little dish
its just another thing on my wish list
you know i just might
stay until i get it right
i always thought i was touching, i was tragic
one mans magic, is anothers plastic
if i say both youll say i lack commitment
of course youre right, of course im right
back to all the things that i missed
sometimes i dont even know you exist
its just another thing on my wish list

Man, I hope I'm not the only one still listing to JTB in 2012. I think this is my favorite song by them. The lyrics are cheesy but, poetic. It all makes sense as to why it's cheesy when he says "Some people think I'm corny, or I'm morbid". The song almost references itself.
It is "I know I can write my way out of this". To me this song is about about that dream of being a poet, a writer or a musician, and how everything in your life adds to your writing, oooooorr, about how going through life is like reading a book. The overview (the Cliff's Notes/ getting the story from someone else) is not the same as going through (reading the book/ actually living something).
I am still listening to them as well as spreading them to people that haven't heard them.

I think the lyrics are coming directly from him about the situation of his parents and his musical career. While he knowingly is capable of writing something more acceptable to them. He doesn't want to because it disagrees with him, but at the same time the other side disagrees.

hm...this song isnt as good lyrically and musically as most jtb songs. i do like the part "well which one is it, am i sweetness or am i sickness/ if i say both you'll say i lack commitment/ of course youre right, of course i'm right"
hmm...this isnt the best jtb song lyrically or musically, but i really like the like that starts with "well which one is it, am i the sweetness am i the sickness"

the morning comes and cops invade my conscience then morning comes and cops invade...
i run around the house of heated atom I run around the house a heated atom
Because i know i can ride my way (cuz) I know, i can write my way
back to all the things that i missed back to all the things that i miss
you stay, digging at your own little dish you stay digging at your own little ditch
its just another thing on my wish list That's just another thing on my wish list
i disagree... i think this song is beautiful. maybe i just relate too much or something?
Also, it's "I know I can WRITE my way out of this black hole"; makes sense with the numerous references to writing, fiction, etc.
Definitely still listening to LTB.
