Always Getting What You Want Lyrics
borders that we say are policing you back to their arms
tension to take pills that'll make you feel higher inside
do you often look back on us feeling confidently
would it make any difference if I wasn't late
or I've been to angry to show
the sovereign statements wrong
it's a bylaw and a value you want to honor hopeful thoughts
it's the talent, not the promotion
Story had shown
you all felt alone
Story had shown
you all felt alone
even if
if the sound it makes when it's tightening
sweet winding of
of a mandolin
hurts your fingers and
and you try to hold on but it's not quite working
this reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree
Story had shown
you all felt alone
Story had shown
you all felt alone
even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore
still we grow
still we grow
it reminds me of the sound you always used to make
Story had shown
you all felt alone
Story had shown
you all felt alone
even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore
still we grow
still we grow
tension to take pills that'll make you feel higher inside
do you often look back on us feeling confidently
would it make any difference if I wasn't late
or I've been to angry to show
the sovereign statements wrong
it's a bylaw and a value you want to honor hopeful thoughts
it's the talent, not the promotion
Story had shown
you all felt alone
Story had shown
you all felt alone
even if
if the sound it makes when it's tightening
sweet winding of
of a mandolin
hurts your fingers and
and you try to hold on but it's not quite working
this reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree
Story had shown
you all felt alone
Story had shown
you all felt alone
even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore
still we grow
still we grow
it reminds me of the sound you always used to make
Story had shown
you all felt alone
Story had shown
you all felt alone
even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore
still we grow
still we grow

Anthony Green is very deep lyrically. If you understand poetry and read poetry or can analyze literature you'll have great respect for the man. Yes, you are opened to your opinion about saying AG isn't that great, but your most likely gonna be shot down by an extremely passionate circa fan. It's either you get it or you don't. I think he is very unique and courageous for stepping outside of the box and being passionate for what he loves which is music. No-one is musically retarded, they just don't understand or have "tuned in" to circa survive. It takes time to appreciate and understand this level of amazing music.
"if the sound it makes when it's tightening sweet winding of of a mandolin hurts your fingers and and you try to hold on but it's not quite working"
simply beautiful. I mean come on, most men can't pull lyrics like this out of their ass?
he says "promo-shots" not "promotions"
"Promo-Shot"
i love this song.
it's about a fight Anthony and the guitarist got in about a song.
maybe I heard Anthony wrong when I asked him?? but it is about a fight he got in with someone else in the band.
Anthony Green has such a good voice... but most of his melodies are just aimless and generally not that great. Every once in a while he hits on something really good though. The same goes for his lyrics. His lyrics are decent at best throughout but every once in a while he comes out with a line like
"this reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree"
which is why I continue to listen to this band.
I have to agree to be honest. Sometimes his lyrics are great, but most of the time they're very average.
yes it about Anthony and fighting with a member of Saosin
and there are still multiple lines dedicated to Eternal Sunshine
i always thought this was about anthony leaving saosin, but i guess not. aha.
It's not 'it's a bylaw and a value you want to honor hopeful thoughts'. The correct lyric is 'It's a bi-law and a valiant one'
I have the lyric booklet directly from the CD in front of me. (:
