This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and I sang the dirge song
my brother never missed a beat
my brother kicked his feet to sleep sweet feet
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and I sang the dirge song
Angel don't you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady don't you know a man when you see one?
Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
Kick your feet and calm the space that makes
you hollow
little swami's got his bowl to eat
little swami always walks his beat, sweet feet
little swami's got his bowl to eat
and I sing the dirge song
it's amazing how they come to see
the little swami with his bowl to eat, sweet feet
the little swami only wears a sheet
and won't sing the dirge song
anal, tight-assed soldier with that dogged heart
put down your gun
we are ready to explode, we gotta take it smart
and take it slow
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and I sang the dirge song
my brother never missed a beat
my brother kicked his feet to sleep sweet feet
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and I sang the dirge song
Angel don't you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady don't you know a man when you see one?
Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
Kick your feet and calm the space that makes
you hollow
little swami's got his bowl to eat
little swami always walks his beat, sweet feet
little swami's got his bowl to eat
and I sing the dirge song
it's amazing how they come to see
the little swami with his bowl to eat, sweet feet
the little swami only wears a sheet
and won't sing the dirge song
anal, tight-assed soldier with that dogged heart
put down your gun
we are ready to explode, we gotta take it smart
and take it slow

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
First, it's important to know what a dirge is: it's a funeral song. This song is about a little swami, probably a generic name for an impoverished boy overseas, who refuses to sing a dirge song, walking always at a steady pace. I think the song is a message to those of us who live in comfort, yet still complain about stuff that in the end really doesn't matter. If little swami can be happy in his own way, why can't we?
This song is about the differences between east and west thinking. Swami = East Brother, I = West. My brother kicked his feet to sleep is saying that like a kid he did not want to sleep or accept that he needed to. And in the west we dont accept death as a natural part of things therefore we sing the dirge song.
The part about bagels and shiny shoes is about wanting more. Bagels as oppossed to bread Shiny shoes instead of just shoes. People not comfortable with who they are or what they have.
All the east have is a sheet as clothes and they dont attempt to want more than what they need. They also have a different idea of what death is and dont need to mourne in the same way.
come on! someone must have something about this song =) (the best song my live in my oppinion) but i have NO IDEA what they're singin about
nice... damn never got that meaning from the lyrics =)
but still something that confuses me are the lines:
"Angel, don't you have some bagels in my oven? Lady, don't you know a man when you see one? Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you? Kick your feet and calm the space that makes you hollow"
Had the opportunity to ask Ed what this song meant (one of my favorites) He said that it was written at a time he was "experimenting with drugs" (in other words- he has no fucking idea either)! Great tune, 'though!
Ok, let's get one thing straight real quick. A swami is a hindu religious teacher, similar to a guru. Anyway, I think this song is about how many holy men are to removed from baseline humanity to actually connect with god properly. In a way, Ed's saying they are too prudent to actually immerse themselves in God, where as many desperate people have no problem with that. The dirge indicates a loss, probably of a brother, which would make whoever this song's point of view from somone who is willing to immerse themselves in God.
Oh, yeah and the "kicked his feet to sleep" thing may be somone's death convulsions.
the entire album was written in freakin jamaca. and probably recorded there too if i can be bothetred to find the CD sleve.
stoned as hell is all im going to say.
Recorded at The Hit Factory, NY. Additional recording locations are all in the US.
