We Don't Play Guitars (Feat. Peaches)

Chicks on Speed

We always thought that we were not a rock n roll band but it sure feels
like rock n roll over here tonight

We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars

We're standing on stage with our microphones, but we don't play guitars
Got the Sherman up here with us, no we don't play guitars

We don't play guitars
Can you play guitar?
We don't play guitars
said can you play guitar?
We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars

We're standing on stage with a microphone but we don't play guitars
Got the Sherman up here with us, no we don't play guitars

We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars
said can you play guitar?

We can go shopping in the supermarket but we don't play guitars
We shop more than other people, we don't play guitars
Can you play guitar?
Can you play guitar?

Were standing in Tobi's studio but we don't play guitars
Neither do Kiki or Melissa
No we don't play guitars

We like to use gaffa tape but we don't play guitars
Give us your gaffa tape, we don't want your guitars

We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars
No we don't play guitars

You may not play guitars but I do!
You know, maybe 'cause don't play guitars but
P-E-A-C-H-E-S plays guitar
I play guitar, that's right
I play guitar
Well you may not play guitar but I play guitar
And I love it!

We like using gaffa tape but we don't play guitars
Give us your gaffa tape 'cause we don't play guitars
Can you play guitar?

We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars

    This song is so much better live than the version they received on 99 cents.

    It's just so much more fun live. The studio version has all the life and humour sucked out of it.

    Nice paradox. They actually play guitar, but they don't play guitars!

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
