We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives Lyrics
Somebody might get head, but someone will get hurt
And I'll sing what you like, if you shout it straight back at me
But they're not blood, they're cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
But you left talcum powder all over the bathroom
And yeah, it is great, you can blow her smoke rings
But you wont taste her lips if you do get to kiss her
And it's your party, but I'll die if I want to, I'll die if I want to
But they're not blood, they're cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
And I couldn't tell if the singer's keyboard was a crutch or a synthesizer
But it sounded like he'd broken a limb
Each and every time he pushed a key down or in
But they're not blood, they're cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
But they're not blood, they're cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
Oh no, it's my mistake, you cut your tongue while taking a sip
It's over, tell his mother, the party is over)
Trick or trim
On your driveway
In the middle of August
One of us dressed as a zombie
One of us dressed as a pirate
One of us dressed as a ninja
Four of us dressed as schoolgirls
And I'm starin' you straight in the eyes
I'm shaking my head
And I'm starin' you straight in your eyes
I'd just like to point out that there are seven people in the band. Four men and three women. This has certain amusing implications in the lyrics, if you are inclined to look.
So what or who inspired the lyrics to 'We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives'?
Gareth: It's basically a tirade against cooler-than-thou scenesters really. We're not interested in being part of any scene and we don't buy into that notion of everybody being out to impress everyone else. I suppose it's also about the so-called crazy student types. Although we're all students ourselves we don't empathise with the student stereotypes at all.
Tom: It does reference one musician in particular who shall remain nameless.
oh ad i think its
"team campesinos" not "teen campesinos"
(Y)
but is that not a reference to "It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To" by Lesley Gore?
I think the missing line is "Team Campesinos, Trick or Treating" Great song.
Aw I do love them. Every song. I think this one is just about how people all differenciate. How one thing could be seen different by different groups of friends. It is my friends and mine's party song. I love the bit about cherryade, and how its not blood. Lovely x
Isn't it "It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice"?
yes, it is.
keyboard was a crutch or a synthesizer*
great song, the lyrics speak for themselves
