Danger! High Voltage

Electric Six

Fire in the disco (Dick Valentine >)
Fire in the Taco Bell
Fire in the disco
Fire in the gates of hell

Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (Jack White ;))
It's my desire (Valentine)
It's my desire(White)
Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (Valentine)
It's my desire (White)
It's my desire (Valentine)
It's my desire (both)
Danger, danger (Valentine>)
High voltage
When we touch, when we kiss
Danger, danger (White>)
High voltage
When we touch, when we touch
Danger, danger (both>)
High voltage
When we touch and when kiss
Danger, danger
High voltage (Valentine)
When we touch (Valentine)
When we kiss (White)
When we touch (Valentine)
When we kiss (White)
Well, don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (White)
It's my desire (both)
It's my desire (both)
Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires (Valentine)
It's my desire (both)
It's my desire (both)
Danger, danger (Valentine>)
High voltage
When we touch, a-when we kiss
Danger, danger (White>)
It's high voltage
When we kiss (both>)
When we touch
When we kiss
When we touch
Danger, danger
High voltage
When we touch
A-when we kiss (Valentine)
When we kiss (White)
Danger (Valentine)
Danger (both)
High volt-(Valentine)
Age (both)
When we touch (Valentine)
When we kiss (Valentine)
When we touch (White)
When we kiss (Valentine)
Lover! (Valentine finishes song>)

Fire in the disco!
Fire in the disco!
Fire in the Taco Bell!
Fire in the disco!
Fire in the disco!
Fire in the gates of hell!

The gates of hell...

    Well, my understanding of this song is that it's about two people, who have enormous chemistry between them so that there is high voltage when they kiss. pretty self-explanatory.

    Jack sounds so funny on this song :) really angry and high-pitched and demented...but in a good way.

    If Electric Six are nothing but a novelty act, they're one of the best novelty acts I've ever heard. "Fire" is fantastic. And I disagree about the lyrics, too. They're actually pretty good; not so much for this song but some of the others. I mean, Dick rhymes "microwave oven" with "commence the lovin'" for chrissakes!

    I saw this band in 2002 and just this last Friday night. Same guitar players. Different bass player though, although back in 2002 Dick Valentine told us that the bass player that was temporary and filling in for their regular guy (who I assume played bass on Friday).

    GREAT LIVE BAND. Yes, they're a novelty. Yes, their songs are silly. But this band is excellent live... trust me!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
