Daisy Cutter

311

I tried to move with a cool hand
It didn't go as I planned
I'm full of rookie maneuvers
And gestures meant to be grand

Ive pulled a bag of tricks one after the other
I asked if you heard of my band
So misguided the sincere approach never tried it once
You said to just drop the game flat
Why didn't I think of that

[Chorus:]
My daisy you make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy you know what I'm after
Your musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

I cant believe what you create
When you let your heart detonate
You let your mind go with one blast in another
And what comes next I will await, hmm
Tell me again the one about the time
We first got together and you blew my mind
I find my mind in the gutter
When I think of my Daisy Cutter

[Chorus]
My Daisy you make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My Daisy you know what I'm after
Your musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

Its four months now
Since you crashed into my life (to my life)
You leave a path of delightful destruction
Your quite the throng, my daisy

Just clap your hands
Get down to the beat
Just clap your hands
Just clap your hands to the beat

[Chorus]
Daisy you make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My Daisy you know what I'm after
Your musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

My daisy, you know what I'm after
You make my heart beat so much faster
My daisy, you know you drive me crazy
You just blow me away, my daisy

    Nick and p-nut were on Loveline with Dr. Drew and Nick explained that a "Daisy Cutter" is a small bomb used in Vietnam that shot out shrapnel to clear foliage. So, he thinks she's "the bomb." Simple as that. The chorus on this song is unusually heavy for an upbeat poppy ballad, I like it. Plus, who needs political anyways? Every band pours out political song after political song (and badly, at that; just look at Green Day). DTOM was pretty sappy too; Waiting is just pure cheese.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
