This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm not a cry baby
I'm the cry baby
A caterpillar that got stuck
Mr. Moth come quick with any luck
A long walk to a dark house
A Roman candle heart keep us far apart
I've got your body doing alright
Hate me baby, maybe I'm a piece of art
Oh, my friends all lie and say
They only want the best wishes for me
Oh, three, two, one
We go live
Oh, baby you're a classic
Like a little black dress
You're a faded moon
Stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)
Whoa, whoa
And oh, baby you're a classic
Like a little black dress
But you'll be faded soon
Stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)
Whoa, whoa
I can make your heart slow
I can feel the weather in my bones
Wish hard enough, I can turn it to what I like
Your pupils they're big
They're rolling like dice
They say they only want the best wishes for me
(They only want the best for me)
Oh, three, two, one
We go live
Oh, baby you're a classic
Like a little black dress
You're a faded moon
Stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)
Whoa, whoa
And oh, baby you're a classic
Like a little black dress
But you'll be faded soon
Stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)
Whoa, whoa
Not the boy I was
The boy I am is just venting, venting
Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city
Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city
Not the boy I was
The boy I am is just venting, venting
Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city
Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city
They say they only want the best wishes for me
(They only want the best for me)
Oh, three, two, one
We go live
Oh, baby you're a classic

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Well y theory on the title is that it does indeed allude to Breakfast At Tiffanys.
If you read the title outloud it reads 'Tiffany Blues', maybe Peter didnt want to make it so effin obvious so he used 'blews' instead.
In the movie, Audrey Hepburn's character Holly loves to go to Tiffany's because she loves the way she feels there, she feels at home.
Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds? Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues? Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling? Paul Varjak: Sure. Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
Maybe that has something to do with the meaning of the song.
breakfast at tiffany's reference? title is tiffany blews
"Ohh baby you're a classic like a little black dress"
like audrey hepburn wore in the movie.
the title is all you got going for you there bud, try again I think
I think this song is about the great Audrey Hepburn! =DD
i agree considering all she wore in the movie was black dresses [= although the rest of the song has nothing to do with her lol
i agree with staytragic, this has to be the next single.
"Ohh baby you're a classic like a little black dress you're a faded moon stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)"
I feel like the chorus is referring to ashlee. lol i think its because i remember reading someone referring to pete as a "hot tranny mess" in the tabloids. so its like ashlee is married/stuck to pete and he doesnt really know why cuz all he is is just a 'little hot mess'
"I'm not a crybaby I'm the crybaby" Everyone knows fall out boy is classified as emo, even pete admitted it. so he's saying they're not just an emo band, they are THE emo band.
"A caterpillar that got stuck Mr. moth come quick with any luck A long walk to a dark house A Roman candle heart keep us far apart" no.fucking.clue. Might have to do with one of the fairy tales or books pete has read or movies he's watched or something. he sometimes does that.
"I got your body doing alright hate me baby maybe i'm a piece of art" I'm thinking this line is referring to how pete is so hard to read and understand [like some pieces of art], and a lot of ppl hate him for that. i mean usually when ppl look at art, everyone feels and thinks their own emotions and thoughts, but what ppl rly want to know is what the artist was feeling and thinking when creating it. or else it can be how ppl hate pete based solely on the way he looks or what the press writes about him.
"I can make your heart slow I can feel the weather in my bones We're starting off and can turn it to what I like your pupils big roll like dice" just going on again on how he knows the lyrics and songs affect and addict us
lovee this song :D
I got the lil wayne part wrong in response to what I said earlier. It is:<br /> <br /> Not the boy I was <br /> The boy I am is just, venting, venting<br /> <br /> There is no "before" is "the boy"

I just relaized i take back my other comment, the correct lyrics are:
Not the boy I was the boy I am is just venting, venting
its the boy not, before.
Wayne's small part is awesome. Gives it a darker feel. Anyway, chorus is great. One of my favorite songs on the album.
This song is just so pretty. When I go to the gig in March I hope I'm not all by myself. It would blow my mind to actually be with a girl when they play this record. Does anybody else feel the same?
This record is probably my third favourite on the album. :]
great job providing the lyrics! man the chorus sounds great! at first I was a bit negative about this album but now I cant wait to get it
Favorite song so far off the album, tbh...
I always thought it was "I'm not a prop baby, I'm the prop baby". Especially because later it talks about them going live on a show.
am i supposed to want to dance to a song by fob? lmao
hey, i feel like dancing with almost every song of them!
