This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can't believe that I am writing this down and
I can't believe that I've got you in a song
I don't want to be a whining girl
Rather not be anyone
I stole a magazine from the laundry mat
The posters in the back
they were breaking my back
And all I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs
My silent heart agrees I have done my best
I'll get my operation on the NHS
Will it cure my blushes will it bring on by the past
'Cause someone said I was a woman pretending to be a girl
And I will make no comments as a I hide myself
Things can go wrong
And when is it going to stop
You casually walk back to your inn tonight
Take the flight of stairs
Softly dim the light
Fantasise about how happy you'd be with a girl tonight
I don't want to see you down
I don't want to see you hanging around
I don't want to see you down
I don't want to see you hanging around
I can't believe that I've got you in a song
I don't want to be a whining girl
Rather not be anyone
I stole a magazine from the laundry mat
The posters in the back
they were breaking my back
And all I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs
My silent heart agrees I have done my best
I'll get my operation on the NHS
Will it cure my blushes will it bring on by the past
'Cause someone said I was a woman pretending to be a girl
And I will make no comments as a I hide myself
Things can go wrong
And when is it going to stop
You casually walk back to your inn tonight
Take the flight of stairs
Softly dim the light
Fantasise about how happy you'd be with a girl tonight
I don't want to see you down
I don't want to see you hanging around
I don't want to see you down
I don't want to see you hanging around

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.
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,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this is one of the most beautiful and true songs ever.
its about a break up and her feelings afterward. its very relatable.
the line "Fantasise about how happy you'd be with a girl tonight" is sang with such saddness its amazing.

I actually think this could be about a girl getting a breast reduction...
"I stole a magazine from the laundry mat The posters in the back they were breaking my back And all I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs My silent heart agrees I have done my best"
There's always posters in the back of magazines for surgery - granted they're usually for an increase rather than a decrease in bust size, but still. Or maybe she's looking at ads for boob jobs and wondering how anyone could want massive breasts when she struggles so much with hers - they break her back and lugging them around makes her legs weary. Her silent heart agrees that she has done her best to live with it but she's reached breaking point now
"I'll get my operation on the NHS Will it cure my blushes will it bring on by the past 'Cuz someone said I was a woman pretending to be a girl And I will make no comments as a I hide myself"
She's been granted a reduction on the NHS as the size of her bust causes her physical and mental trauma. She remembers when she was younger and she used to be so embarrassed at being so well developed - people would say that she was a woman pretending to be a girl as she was so young but her breasts were so large, she'd say nothing and just try to hide her chest
I don't know, it seems far fetched but it makes sense in accordance to the lyrics, right?
"I actually think this could be about a girl getting a breast reduction." You may be correct, although your terminology is a little off.
It's called a boob reduction, although not socially correct...but quite accurate. A boob is soomeone who thinks with a body part; short term; and in a superficial manner. Kind of like those old guys who refuse to admit they're OLD; act like children; lie and cheat to get ahead (or to get head); and hang out in bars/clubs alone when they're in their 40's and all their friends have moved on...except the other losers who everyone laughs at as well. My own boobs are causing me pain and need reduction; one is obviously larger than the other, but just as stupid as the first.
rather not be anyone=rather not be in your world on by the past=out my best I hide myself=I've had my fill
I'm sure I'm totally wrong, but maybe it's about a guy making offensive comments to a girl on the street.
i love this song. i think its about a guy who she liked or dated and how the worst possible thing would be to see him.
Here are the right lyrics:
I can’t believe that I’m writing this down I can’t believe I’ve got you in a song I don’t want to be a whining girl I’d rather not be in your world I stole a magazine from a Laundromat The posters in the bag they were breaking my back All I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs I sat and had a greet, I have done my best
I’ll get my operation on the N.H.S Will it cure my blushes will it bring out my best? Some will say I was a woman pretending to be a girl I will make no comment of this I’ve had my fill This can’t go on When is it going to stop? You casually walked back to your room tonight Take the flight of stairs and softly dim the light Fantasize about how happy you’d be with a girl tonight
I don’t want to see you down I don’t want to see you hanging around I don’t want to see you down I don’t want to see you hanging around
very sad song, what is with the National Health Service reference, or does she mean another nhs?
NHS- refers to the National Health Service used by those living in the UK. It's basically a free public health system similar to Canada or France. (unlike the US which has NO FREE HEALTH CARE for its citizens...so rich, yet so poor!!!)
song's amazing. Everyone here gets the lyrics wrong though, annoying but whatevs. Beautiful song, chick's voice is beautiful too.
I believe he's really saying "I don't want you...period." Enough is enough.
He should have ended the song, "Good luck to you" but don't come around here ever...
My 2 Cents: It's from the perspective of a transexual woman dumped by a str8 dude who couldn't handle her being trans. Evidence: "I’ll get my operation on the N.H.S Will it cure my blushes will it bring out my best? Some will say I was a woman pretending to be a girl" The NHS pays for transsexual surgery, and the narrator seems to be looking forward to it making her more attractive to men. "Fantasize about how happy you’d be with a girl tonight" She feels sorry for herself by imagining the boy wishing for a real girlfriend, rather then whatever she is.
