The Little Things Lyrics
Have you heard the news?
Bad things come in twos.
But I never knew
'Bout the little things.
Every single day
Things get in my way.
Someone has to pay
For the little things.
And I'm through with the stories
And I'm sick to my shoes.
And the walking and the talking,
It's got nothing to do with
The final solution.
It's a box full of tricks.
And I'm through with repairs
When there's nothing to fix,
When there's nothing to fix,
When there's nothing to fix,
And it all comes down to you.
Let the headlines wait,
Armies hesitate.
I can deal with fate
But not the little things.
Armageddon may
Arrive anyday.
I can't get away
From the little things.
With a pile of cares
And a bucket of tears,
I could look at the sunlight
And I feel no fear.
With a mountain of maybes
And some Icarus wings,
And I'm armed with delusions
And one little thing,
And that one little thing,
And that one little thing,
And it all comes down to you.
Have you heard the news?
Bad things come in twos.
But I never knew
'Bout the little things.
Every single day
Things get in my way.
Someone has to pay
For the little things.
Bad things come in twos.
But I never knew

Things get in my way.

When there's nothing to fix,
When there's nothing to fix,

Heard this one in Wanted, kick-ass song.
i think it's supposed to be
it's got nothing to do with the final solution it's a box full of TRICKS and I'm through with repairs when there's nothing to fix
and
With a mountain of maybes and some ICARUS wings and I'm all the delusions
fantastic song, tho!
neonom1024: Really? It sounds more like 'shit' to me. But it does sound more like 'Icarus'--fixed that. Thanks!
So, what is this song about? Is it really about little things - trifles? That a person can keep with disasters, but can't keep with trifles? My native language isn't English, so I'm afraid I may be mistaken.
I also think it's "box full of tricks" not "box full of shit"
This song is awesome. I think its about taking control. Can't really explain it though
kick-ass song, i'm with you rolz :)
but i also think it's "box full of TRICKS" (you can hear the KS at the end ^^)
it's also "and i'm through with the STORIES" and not "...STALLS"
aaand "with a pile of CARES" and not "with a calamitous kiss"
well that my hearing, i can be wrong tho :)
x_to_go: I changed the "box full of tricks" lyrics, but the other 'mistakes' you mention sound more like stalls (as the last word only has one syllable) and calamitous kiss to me (though 'calamitous' sounds a little like "palm-ative", whereas the 'kiss' sounds like 'kiss', not 'cares'.)
so gooooodd
Apparently the producers of the film wanted to use Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes but were refused so Danny Elfman wrote this song.
I think it is similar to 7 Nation Army as it sounds forceful and intimidating without being loud or aggressive.
The guitar work is also a nice mix between White and Danzig
Awesome song. I Love It.
