The Backwards Pumpkin Song Lyrics
Sit down, call off the cavalry
I'm stealing the jewels
In a slow motion action replay
Bar fight, I invented chivalry
Notch in my bed post
Slow motion action replay.
Sit down, call off the cavalry
I'm stealing the jewels
In a slow motion action replay
Bar fight, I invented chivalry
Notch in my bed post
Slow motion action replay.
Now the fog is rolling in
Bringing us that much closer to a senseless end
Oh please don't get up
I'll get that for you.
It's selfish to say I'll believe when
I believe all these lies
It's been long enough
Don't just lay on the ground, son
Don't just drown in the fountain
And I don't know you, I don't know you
You got stuck preaching action
I fell down using tact, son
And I don't know you, I don't know you
Don't just lay on the ground, son
Don't just drown in the fountain
And I don't know you, I don't know you
You got stuck preaching action
I fell down using tact, son
And I don't know you, I don't know you
Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one good note (Leave them off of the great boat)
Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one false hope (Leave them off of the great boat)
(One false hope)
Go on and fix your tie
And just lead the line out
Needless to say
I stumble, you play
All night long
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say
Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one good note (Leave them off of the great boat)
Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one false hope (Leave them off of the great boat)
Now you'll find, as I rewind, now you'll find it's not the point
Now you'll find, as I rewind, now you'll find it's not the point
Now you'll find, as I rewind, now you'll find it's not the point
Now you'll find, as I rewind, now you'll find it's not the point
One Love
I'm stealing the jewels
In a slow motion action replay
Bar fight, I invented chivalry
Notch in my bed post
Slow motion action replay.

Is it me or can any one else not get over the fact how random and obscure the lyrics in ALL dgd songs, its just fucking amazing, if any other band tried to pull it off nowadays, it would fair suck. But in fairness ATD-I and Cap'n Jazz did well at random lyrics in their heyday.
Also, anyone else just dig the double bass pedal and the fast guitar in this song - the nice breakdown??
this band is the best band ever. everything about it, my favorite is the killer guitar. drums are sick too.
This is the best song they have.
THIS BAND IS FUCKING AMAZING! I love his voice and am glad I can sing like him now.

"Oh please don't get up I'll get that for you. It's selfish to say I'll believe when I believe all these lies It's been long enough"
He's still trying to win his wife over despite all of her lies...
"Don't just lay on the ground, son Don't just drown in the fountain And I don't know you, I don't know you"
He's being advised to take action and not just keep his sorrows to himself. But he doesn't want to listen to that...
"You got stuck preaching action I fell down using tact, son And I don't know you, I don't know you"
He's being told by someone that taking a passive stance will make him lose. But he doesn't want to listen to that...
"Bring back this fight tonight For all of these lies that I uphold"
He wants their fight for love back. He wants to try. He still believes in their marriage vows...
"(Don't mind them they can't elope)"
It's not like she can run off and marry B so he should just let them be.
"For one good note"
But he believes in that piece of paper that binds them...
"Leave them off of the great boat"
Adulterers have no place in God's Kingdom---they won't be saved. ---> Jonny is atheist, but in his youth he spent much time in church, being taught about the Bible by his grandmother. He was a choir singer and his main influences are gospel, soul and Christian rock.
"Go on and fix your tie And just lead the line out"
He's being told to just leave with dignity and give it up...
"Needless to say I stumble, you play All night long"
While he's suffering, she's off gallivanting...
"Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say"
He's being told to just leave with dignity and give it up...
"Now you'll find, as I rewind, now you'll find it's not the point"
A is saying that it's not about "winning" or leaving with dignity... Walking away is not an option...
"One love"
He loves her and he and his wife made a vow.
It's awesome how this band puts screams and a nice voice to use. great band awesome instruments.
this is suchhhhhhh a good song i heart it
It's pretty unique.. I mean, it has all the wailing guitars and fast drums and screams.. But the lead singer's voice is one of the smoothest I've heard.
The lyrics stump me, though.
i love the guitars in this song. and oh boy his voice is so good=] but the screaming!!! i really cant tell what he says=/
most of DGD lyrics dont make sense because they write the lyrics after hearing johnny randomly say things while recording... wikipedia
Gosh i love this song. But the lyrics stump me too =/
i love this song......i have no clue what the lyrics are supposed to mean but i love the line bar fight, i invented chivalry...why? i do not know cuz it doesnt really add up and this song is confusing...even the titles confusing...still an awesome song though
