Everybody's here
Puke stinks like beer
This could be a city
This could be a graveyard
You stole my idea
You stole my idea
Everybody's anxious
For the coming of the crisis
The collapse of the justice
I can smell your armpits
You stole my idea
You stole my idea
You stole my idea!
This puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
Come on, come on, come on
Let's lay waste to this century
Come on, come on, come on
Return to nothing, and help me
Everybody's anxious
The crowd is all around us
The followers of Aldous
Are spinning with their mescaline
A man behind the altar screams
You stole my idea
You were my idea!
On the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
Dangled with tongue
On the edge of a peace that can't stand low
And won't stand tall
It's amazing what we can do with love
With some matches and gasoline, do with love
It's amazing what we can do with love
I haven't listened to this song enough to give it a proper rating yet but I'll post one later, as of right now it is getting better and better as i listen to it my friend is convinced that is one of the best live songs ever, and I am beginning to go along with his view but it still needs more listening to. I didn't like the song at first because I couldn't get past the stupidity of this puke stinks like beer rhyme but now I'm past it so 3 out of 5
not to sure bout this one although it paints some very vivid and moving imagery. "The followers of Aldous Are spinning with their mescaline " that has got to be one of my favorite live lines ever. most live fans should know who aldous huxley is. not only was he a great writer he was one of the first western phds to conduct scientific experiments with mescaline(the physcoactive ingredient in peyote)and even lsd. but this song defenitly has some very proliphic (im not sure if thats the word i want here) undertones. great live song namaste webb
I agree with spade's friend, this has got to be one of Live best songs. It builds so wonderfuly. Best line: "Everybody's anxious for the coming of the crisis, the collapse of the justice..."
what does this song mean?
Decadence. And we have a choice, but let's go for it.
I've never really known what this one means, but I agree with WEBB. It's one of my favorite Live songs mostly because of the amazing imagery it provokes. Especially around these lines:
Everybody's anxious The crowd is all around us The followers of Aldous Are spinning with their mescaline A man behind the altar screams You stole my idea You were my idea!
I always imagine a crowded courthouse with a bunch of guys in black suits sitting in rows in front of a judge and a man behind the witness booth. Suddenly, that man stands up, points at someone, and yells "You were my idea!".
Great stuff.
You have to remember this was in 1997, when the y2k bug was something doomed to trash civilization. Not quite post-apocalyptic imagery, but "Return to nothing" and start over "with Love"
I always thought he said "you're still my dear" and "you were my dear" (i sound alike and it makes perfect sense).
I always felt like this song was about Fight Club.

Obviously Ed had some sort of interest in the book because he appears in the movie and all the themes of anarchy are present in the lyrics.

Just look them over again in that context and you'll see that it's pretty air tight. Nothing neccesarily contradicts this theory.
