Daffy Duck Lyrics
What I need
Is good advice
Cooked on plates of ground meat
Rubber hands and silly friends
Pasted on my wall.
Someone salt
A sweet sea soup
That I could swim in proudly
We might swim like laughing ducks
In your pink light glow
There we go changing again
There we go again
My hands can make yours
Warm again
If not absorbed in blankets
Are you in need of teen angst
And nibble on your neck?
And if I had volcano boots
For swimming in volcanoes
Do you know the origins of laughing ducks?
Oh what's a matter with those birds
There we go changing again
There we go again
What you need's a
Happy farm
With happy goats and sheep
What I need's a
Happy arm
To swing ya 'round like father
Is good advice
Cooked on plates of ground meat
Rubber hands and silly friends
Pasted on my wall.
A sweet sea soup
That I could swim in proudly
We might swim like laughing ducks
In your pink light glow
There we go again
Warm again
If not absorbed in blankets
Are you in need of teen angst
And nibble on your neck?
For swimming in volcanoes
Do you know the origins of laughing ducks?
Oh what's a matter with those birds
There we go again
Happy farm
With happy goats and sheep
Happy arm
To swing ya 'round like father

The "chorus": "there we go changing kin/ there we go again" is tentative. If anyone else hears something different please correct me. Other than that I think it is solid :)
i think its
someone salt a sweet sea soon...
Maybe, Avey doesn't enunciate the ending letters very well so it sounds like: "someone saaallll a sweet sea soooo" I assumed soup because he talks about swimming in it. I think your words fit well too. Tough call.
this song is about envy, or jealousy...
could be about just longing and dreaming (about a girl I assume) too. But then there's also that protective tone, that "you need to sort your life out / I need to help you".
doesn't it make more sense if it was "are you in need of teething / and nibble on your neck?" .. cause that's what i hear. seems to fit too ( i never heard the neck part )
it sounds like a song from a father to a son, the father who's trying to hang on to his son's childhood (by talking about little kid things full of wonder and magic), while the son is inevitably growing up. eventually the father just gets angry and frustrated, signalled by the line "oh what's the matter with those birds" and those sudden guitar picks.
god, this band is brilliant

oh, also i guess the father character isn't ready to grow up either and doesnt want responsibility
this song's definitely from a father to a son. He mentions a lot of childhood fantasies and such (rubber hands, silly friends, laughing ducks, volcano boots)... he questions the nature of his son's growing up and expresses his difficulty in coping.
The last two stanzas pretty much sum up the father's sadness at his son growing into a teenager. He wishes his son would stay youthful and innocent (what you need's a happy farm with happy goats and sheep) He also wishes that he could make it happen (what i need's a happy arm to swing you around)
All in all it's a pretty damn touching song. It really helped me realize the way my dad's been feeling about me the past couple years (as corny as that sounds)
the chorus part (there we go changing again) really puts the song into perspective as well.
