This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sky diver, your pants are on fire and the rest of your clothes is blowing
And for some strange reason, your nose is growing
My skin is crawling, everybody's chin is falling,
Jaws are dropping left and right
Lost cause you came like a thief in the night
With nice white teeth and a tight ass and long conversation
Fascinating feeling to spend months in your company
I never felt uncomfortable, even with my clothes off
Chillin' so hard, my ass almost froze off
Everybody shows off and wants to look presentable
But the fact of the matter is that accidents are preventable
From the sound of the candy wrappers
Down to the handicappers
Everybody's got to exercise a little caution
But every so often expect things to get hectic or
Technically difficult and I begin to get skeptical
Especially when the Canadian bacon gets sizzlin'
Isn't it a sin when the ceiling is invisible
We need new inventions that reveal peoples true intentions
A portable pride protector, affordable lie detector
The wild lifestyle has the tendency to intimidate
But it isn't your invitation to imitate
In front of my face, you spoke my gospel like an apostle
But on the other side of town, you got coke in your nostril
Just for example, we all want to live a bit
Whatever, it's your body of water, why should I give a shit
Who are you anyway, and where did you come from
Dumdum, just when I thought I could trust someone
The mask comes off, and your face fades away
You radiate eighty-eight full shades of gray
Black and white rainbow, you know you ain't acting right
Game show hostess, stabbing every back in sight
The time has come thicker than blood
And make no mistake, I'm a stick in the mud
I'm a kick in your pants and I'm a lump in your throat
And I'm the hassle in your castle, I'm going to jump in your moat
Splash, hypocritical condition the hospital
Makes this mission impossible
Pretty much, I've got no patients left and as a physician or doctor
It puts me in an awkward position
No magician can trick me, or lick me with a cattle whip
So what makes you think you can sink my battleship
We ain't family, drama queen, the camera's rolling
Show me your swollen memories before the moment's stolen
Slow-motion Picasso, wearing the wool socks
And coming with the full clip, I'm sick of this bullshit
Who are you anyway, and where did you come from
Dumdum, just when I thought I could trust someone
The mask comes off, and your face fades away
You radiate eighty-eight full shades of gray
And for some strange reason, your nose is growing
My skin is crawling, everybody's chin is falling,
Jaws are dropping left and right
Lost cause you came like a thief in the night
With nice white teeth and a tight ass and long conversation
Fascinating feeling to spend months in your company
I never felt uncomfortable, even with my clothes off
Chillin' so hard, my ass almost froze off
Everybody shows off and wants to look presentable
But the fact of the matter is that accidents are preventable
From the sound of the candy wrappers

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
a masterpiece , i really love this song i rarely enjoy (except when i'm drunk and dancing my ass off.. by that i mean dancing very pooly) rap or hiphop or whatever but buck 65 and the streets are exceptions the lyrics are incredible smart rap i love it! To me this song is about a hot girl who lied to a guy and fucked everything up just when he tought he had found the right girl! yay! bye now! again great song
did i really say masterpiece?... i mean it's a really good song with great lyrics a lyrical masterpece maybe almost well you know...
i agree with the masterpeice part its so kick ass, ive got like 3 of there cds and i listn and love all of there songs!!!!!
Who Doesnt Love that Crazy Bass line?
Your MISSING THE CRAZY COOL VOICE AT THE END.... I wish I knew where the Voice Clip cam from,,, Maybe you can tell me :
I dont' need anybody you hear what I Said, Did you hear what I Said this time? You wanna know the truth? I could of had any girl I wanted at school ANY GIRL I wanted You know why I didnt have a girlfriend? huh? Cause there was nobody that I liked... Nobody that I Liked That's the truth I could have anybody theres nobody that I liked cause GIRLS STINK They Stink They're Evil and they're ALL bad all of them backstabbers, Like you....
NOW That crazy sound Clip At the end I think Will maybe help justify what I think the song is about: who you can look at someone one way, but when you really get to know them, they're not so pretty anymore. they jsut turn into regualr people like the rest of us, (Full Shades of Grey) Everyone has they're secrets and it's only a matter of time before the secrets we hide become Evident to the world. thoguh as much as I love buck 65, I find this song to be one of his deeper ones. Or maybe it;'s not and It's jsut one of the easier ones that I am able to find meaning too BTW, I dont think girls stink lmao, I'm a chick myself, but the guy who says that clip Sounds really creppy, I really wish I knew what it was.....
its from buffalo '66, a movie produced written directed and starring vinvent gallo.that him you hear. hes a compulsive liar who went to prison for some guy, and falls in love with some girl he kidnapped(christina ricci). its really good.
also in response to the first comment, the streets are awful. but either way, you should check out aesop rock and atmosphere. there actually A LOT of hip hop out there for people who "usually dont like hip hop"
I think that the deepest meaning of this song is just that now he find all of those...show off and public persona people wanna give to them ..now it all disgust him
maybe..but i know its no just about " a girl who fucked up"
It's about a liar but this liar is amazingly attractive even in personality Then he gets a bit insecure but then realizes that this whole relationship is just a game played by the person. And I'm sure the song said Mammaries As in Mammary glands or breasts.
The sample is from Buffalo '66.
