Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Whoo (Whoo)
Turn me up, don't turn me down
Cut me up, don't let me down
Find, find a way, find a way to get out, wit out, hit out, you dig in, dig out, you get out
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Find a way to get in, to fit in the ghetto, you get out, wit out a dime
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Climbing out this hole (climbin' out this hole)
With a frown on my face
In the place to be, (in the place to be) and not to be at the same time
G-h-e-t-t-o-m-u-s-i-c-k stay down
O-u-t-k-a-s-t (oooh yeah) just know that we won't play round
If feet don't stank like they stank then they can't swallow dat down
Your battleship is sunk, I wish grandma could see us
Find a way to get out, wit out, hit out
You dig in, dig out, you get out
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Find a way to get in, the fit in the ghetto
You get out, wit out a dime
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
I just want you to know, how I feel
Feeling good, feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
I just want you to know, how I feel
Feeling good feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
Hot tub add to the bony of tony
As my grandmama ettamay here and she show me
How to be the smooth operator, dominator in the state of Georgia
Hip hops there to destroy ya
Leave a mother fucker open like a foyer
He from the dirt now here come the paranoia
Although you couldn't have jacked the disrespect
The technique, sweat meet, wipe off the sweat
Fight off the shit and flush the waste down
The pipes of my life flow deep into the ground
Why my purpose on the surface of this earth is
Plan it, standards, trust and the purpose
Campaign in vein for the same lame fame, people obtain, you ought to be detained
By the hip hop sheriff, locked up
no possibility of getting out cause the shit you make is killing me and my ears, and my peers
I hear the end is near, no fear
we disappear, then reappear again in a fresh new light
I hope its peaceful and cloudy cause if its not we gotta fight like, fight like
G-h-e-t-t-o-m-u-s-i-c-k stay down
O-u-t-k-a-s-t just know that we won't play round
If feet don't stank like they stank then they can't swallow dat down
Your battleship is sunk, I wish grandma could see us
Find a way to get out, wit out, hit out
You dig in, dig out, you get out
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Find a way to get in, the fit in the ghetto
You get out, wit out a dime
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
I just want you to know, how I feel
Feeling good, feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
I just want you to know, how I feel
Feeling good feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
Turn me up, don't turn me down
Cut me up, don't let me down
Find, find a way, find a way to get out, wit out, hit out, you dig in, dig out, you get out
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Find a way to get in, to fit in the ghetto, you get out, wit out a dime
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Climbing out this hole (climbin' out this hole)

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.
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."
I don't think this song has an actual meaning, but I like the way it's all put together. It's a great dance song.
yer i agree no meaning really its just a cool song i love big boi's rap after the chick sings that whole part just sounds awesome
uh huh...yeah wateva....(haha..."gansta" talk..lol...) listen to VANESSA CARLTON...now thats REAL "musick"...haha..crack my self up! lol..lmao..:P
what....the....fuck....vanessa....
vanessa..carlton.... that was a joke right? Like in "White Chicks".. in the car? Please tell me you are joking.The video is great Outkast is like a refreshing break from all these hyped up rappers now. (not that i don't listen to them) Peace.
Are you guys crazy? This song has plenty of meaning.
"Climbing out this hole
With a frown on my face In the place to be, and not to be at the same time"
With much respect to his roots, he's talking about people's tendency to judge Outkast by attempting to lock them into a certain genre of music. Just because they came from the hood, people think that they should be thugs and all about hip hop. Just because they rap, people want to pigeonhole them as 'rappers'. Well they're not, they are artists. When he says, "I just want you to know how I feel", he's basically saying what does it matter how the package is presented, I just want the freedom to express myself through music in a way that feels good to me, without all of the labels.
You guys need to take another listen.
I thought it was more like "we understand you want to get out of the hood, but the only way you can get out of the hood is pretending like you love the hood".<br /> <br /> They start selling their musical creativity for a meal ticket, anything they can do, sample the same beats, use the same old, tired "I beat my hoes" approach to music, so they can get out of the hood.
also hes denouncing cookie cutter rap. "all competing in vain for the same lame fame" and the shit you make is killing me and my my ears and my peers"
Forget OutKast AND Vanessa Carlton, Colbie Callat is where it's at!
