So Good Lyrics
I have the sketchy past, yet I have shed my wings.
Cold turkey now, hanging by a heartstring.
Dangle over her, above the pulsing bar.
She tries to catch my eye, her gaze is deafening.
What do you call a last conservatively dressed?
With a glimmer in her eyes that screams I'm next.
I am the greasy chump with whom she'll fall in love,
If I'm her fall from grace, then she's my christening.
You look so good tonight,
Break down those walls tonight.
And when we're good and close, I think I'll steal your time.
They can shoot on sight, but it's all right.
You look so good tonight.
And I don't care which prophet you adore, or who you voted for,
it won't discourage lovesick former manwhore.
Your skin against my own, I'll be your Olly Stone,
You'll be my Audrey Hep, you can have what is left.
And we'll combine to be some kind of japanese mecha-creation
With two fuse persuasions, yeah.
We'll destroy the earth and herald it's rebirth,
as somewhere where someone like you would hit on me.
This could produce a meltdown, but I think we're doing fine.
We can tear and break the maps apart,
Shatter all their lines.
When the universe that is not comes to kill our love and trust,
I only want a soul to know it feels so good with us.
I've gotta have you now
Cold turkey now, hanging by a heartstring.
Dangle over her, above the pulsing bar.
She tries to catch my eye, her gaze is deafening.
What do you call a last conservatively dressed?
With a glimmer in her eyes that screams I'm next.
I am the greasy chump with whom she'll fall in love,
If I'm her fall from grace, then she's my christening.
Break down those walls tonight.
And when we're good and close, I think I'll steal your time.
They can shoot on sight, but it's all right.
You look so good tonight.
it won't discourage lovesick former manwhore.
Your skin against my own, I'll be your Olly Stone,
You'll be my Audrey Hep, you can have what is left.
And we'll combine to be some kind of japanese mecha-creation
With two fuse persuasions, yeah.
We'll destroy the earth and herald it's rebirth,
as somewhere where someone like you would hit on me.
We can tear and break the maps apart,
Shatter all their lines.
When the universe that is not comes to kill our love and trust,
I only want a soul to know it feels so good with us.

Just a few mistakes in here, hope you can fix them considering this band deserves a wee-bit more respect than incorrect lyrics by fans who rushed the scene:
I have the sketchy past, yet I have shed my wings Cold turkey now hanging by a heart-string Dangle over her, above the pulsing bar She tries to catch my eye, her gaze is deafening What do you call a lass conservatively dressed With a glimmer in her eye that screams "I'm next" I am the greasy chump with whom she'll fall in love If I'm to fall from grace, then she's my christening

And I don't care Which prophet you adore, who you voted for it won't discourage love's sick former manwhore Your skin against my own, I'll be your Oli Stone You'll be my Audrey Hep, you can have what is left And we'll combine to be some kind of Japanese mecca-creation With two fused persuasions, yeah We'll destroy the earth and herald it's rebirth And somewhere, or someone like you would hit on me

Thanks for the correction. Sounds like a song for a guy who knows he's going to bring a woman/girl back to his bed:) He the man!

I honestly think that this song is about Sherri DuPree-Bemis and how he's just so surprised he was able to get her, and how whenever he saw her she always looked good to him and he would do anything for her, and how no matter what she does he loves her. It's a beautiful song. I think that when Max went from singing about the girls he had problems with to this woman he now loves and is married to is such a bedazzling evolution of his music. I honestly don't think this album could be any better, it's definitely...

I honestly don't think this album could be any better, it's definitely different, however it's just everything Say Anything has ever been rolled in to this incredible ball of pure and raw emotion, I can't wait for it to be released to actually purchase the CD.
Haha. calm down, dude. I got most of these corrections myself after a few more listens, and just needed to find a second to come and post them.

Oh, and it's definitely 'mecha-creation.' not 'mecca-creation.' mecca isn't japanese, and in japanese sci-fi, two different things combine all of the time, especially robots, to form a cyborg of some sort. Just cleaning that up. Japanese mecha-creation.

And greasy is greazy.
I think that's just Max saying "greasy" in an odd way, how he does with some words when he articulates them. I only say this because "greazy" isn't a word, not one I know of that exists beyond urbandictionary. However, you might be right, we'll have to wait for the lyrics book in the album when we finally get to purchase it, in all of it's glory. Haha.

What is the meaning of: I'll be your Oli Stone You'll be my Audrey Hep
Who is Oli Stone and why is he significant? I know who is Audrey Hepburn but don't have a clue what does she have to do with Oli(ver) Stone?
Oliver Stone.
Oliver Stone.
Just saw the last part of your comment. I think it's just two people he admires. They don't really have to go together. It's Max. He writes what makes sense to him.

Oliver Stone was a director/screenwriter of Jewish descent back in the late 80's/early 90's. Audrey Hepburn was a well-known actor (though not starring in any of his films). I think that what max is saying is he wants her (I would believe he means Sherri, his wife) to be some sort of star in the movie he is directing that is his life because he finds her incredible. That's just my interpretation though, it may be completely wrong.

a few very minor correction's based on SkitzoTeeJay's interpretation of the lyrics. the ones i'm posting are from their official website:
"I have the sketchy past, yet I have shed my wings. Cold turkey now, hanging by a heartstring. Dangle over her above the pulsing bar. She tries to catch my eye. Her gaze is deafening. What do you call a lass, conservatively dressed, With a glimmer in her eye that screams I’m next? I am the GREEZY* chump with whom she’ll fall in love. If I’m her fall from grace then she’s my christening.
You look so good tonight. Break down those walls tonight And when we’re good and close I think I’ll steal your time. They can shoot on sight but it’s alright. You look so good tonight.
I don’t care which prophet you adore OR who you voted for. It won’t discourage LOVESICK former man-whore. Your skin against my own, I’ll be your Olly Stone. You’ll be my Audrey Hep. You can have what is left And we’ll combine to be some kind of Japanese MECHA-creation With two fused persuasions. We’ll destroy the earth and herald its rebirth AS somewhere WHERE* someone like you would hit on me.
This could produce a meltdown but I think we’re doing fine. We can tear and break the maps apart, Shatter all their lines. When the universe that is not comes to kill our love and trust I only want YOUR* soul to know it feels so good with us.
I’ve gotta have you now."
I love Say Anything. This song to me is about somebody looking good to you. You know that feeling where you just have to have them and kiss them and all that good stuff.
