Piece of Pie (MJY Demo)

Stone Temple Pilots

Yeah
Yeah

I broke the breadline
Nobody knows
I walked the front line
Still got far to go
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I broke the breadline
Don't wanna know

Yeah
Yeah

It's staring me down
Wearing a crown
Of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name, you know where to find me, yeah

I killed the manchild
I'll fast alone
I had the midwife
Naked and alone
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I killed the brainchild
I'll fast alone

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

It's staring me down
Wearing a crown
Of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name you know where to find me, yeah

Yeah
Don't wanna let me be a man
Yeah
Don't wanna lead me to your home
Don't wanna lead me to your, to your home

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

It's staring me down
Wearing a crown
Of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name you know where to find me

I killed the manchild
I had the midwife
I drank the water, I stand alone

I broke the breadline
I walked the front-line
Don't know my name you know where to find me, yeah

Yeah
Don't wanna let me be a man
Yeah
Don't wanna lead me to your home
Yeah
Don't wanna let me be a man
Yeah
Don't wanna lead me to your home

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
