Between the Lines Lyrics

lovely disguise, read between the lines
you rock the magic plane with no abbreviation
three, four, you sell what you bought
but there ain't no magic pen to get back what you lost

i like it when we talk about love
i like it when we talk about love
you always were my favorite drug
even when we used to take drugs

even when we used to take...

penguins don't fly
crocodile sunday smile
really like to fish but don't like superficial people
shoe store heard it all before
from pearly whites to pearly gates
what do we have to argue about

i like it when we talk about love
i like it when we talk about love
you always were my favorite drug
even when we used to take drugs

even when we used to take...

leave me all alone before
(get out the way)
never did what she was told
(get out the way)
seems to play at time of war
(get out the way)
less is big and listens more

lovely disguise, read between the lines
you rock the magic plane with no abbreviation
three, four, you sell what you bought
but there ain't no magic pen to get back what you lost

i like it when we talk about love
i like it when we talk about love
you always were my favorite drug
even when we used to take drugs

even when we used to take...

Cover art for Between the Lines lyrics by Stone Temple Pilots

The song refers to Weiland's past history of drug use in the chorus. The vocalist told MTV News: "The verse is sort of an 'I Am The Walrus' kind of thing, where it's a bunch of stuff that phonetically sounds good. And then you get to the meat of the idea in the chorus... it's a reference to my ex. It's a real rock-and-roll song that has our own individuality."

the first verse is insane!!

For me this song is related in some way to "Interstate Love Song", seems like Interstate was about rupture and moving on; and "Between the Lines" about return with the girl and starting over

woooo this song is up for a grammy! would be great to see STP win another grammy!

Cover art for Between the Lines lyrics by Stone Temple Pilots

Its actually a pretty good song, you cant compare it to their past works and say its crap STP are moving forward, if you're looking for another plush than yeah you're gonna be disappointed. The lyrics are also wrong

thank you... dont buy the new album looking for the next plush.. buy it to enjoy the vibe of the album... excellent album btw.. gotta be album of the year and probaly gonna win some grammys

Not Valid

i think the song holds up pretty well against STP's classics IMO

Not Valid

That may be. I'm not comparing it to "Plush". But on its own, I don't beleive the song holds up. The writing is terrible and the music is so pedestrian. It sounds like the type of song you'd do when you're either

A) Fulfilling a record contract. B) You're having a reunion, but just for the money only.

I don't get this site... you say feel free to fix the lyrics, but I don't see any way how. I just want to switch out a few apostrophes since "ain't" looks like ain[symbol]t, which is so annoying.

anyway sweet song, and yeah, obviously it's not like Core... it's supposed to be 60s-ish with good production value. I like it, at any rate.
