Skips On The Record Lyrics
pregnant with the keys
to your stick shift mood
can't get yourself ignition
can't get yourself ignition
grease-stained parking lot
embed and loiter bottle tops
dipped in the secretion
of your syphilis flirtation
must we go spell it out?
roman candle, cradles, teething
dressed in innuendos
"c" is for contraction
30 minutes apart
umbilical agendas
in the coup de jat
"c" is for the cul de sac
tiennamen reverse
parking all the grandeur
in backseat afterbirth
grease-stained parking lot
loiter tops dipped in the secretion
must we go spell it out for you?
mao tse tung ferver
in his petty glance
in this cursive dysentery
to your stick shift mood
can't get yourself ignition
can't get yourself ignition
embed and loiter bottle tops
dipped in the secretion
of your syphilis flirtation
roman candle, cradles, teething
dressed in innuendos
30 minutes apart
umbilical agendas
in the coup de jat
tiennamen reverse
parking all the grandeur
in backseat afterbirth
grease-stained parking lot
loiter tops dipped in the secretion
in his petty glance
in this cursive dysentery

This song is awesome, but the intro riff sounds almost identical to the main riff in the Sonic Youth song, Schizophrenia. This song almost seems like a tribute to Sonic Youth with the way it is.

i don't know what it means, but it's my favorite song on Acrobatic Tenement.
i think I know what it's about - but i'm honestly not sure.
They mention Tiennamen Square and Mao, and there is a big portrait of Mao outside the Forbidden City in Tiennamen Sq, in China. There are also a lot of natal references ("afterbirth","contraction"). Perhaps he is writing about the law restricting numbers of offspring in China?
However, my other slight insight was the kind of bitter-sounding reference to promiscuity ("syphilis flirtation") and references to cars and stuff. Tongue in cheek?
Shit I don't know I only got the record the day before yesterday.
I believe the song on the outside is about birth but in birth he means death. Tying in the reference Tiennemen with the massacre. Once i have a clear head ill figure it out. Ahh i love atdi songs
i dont know what this song is about but the first stanza is the one of the best opening lines of any song, ever atdi. one of my favorite songs on acrobatic tenement.
All I know is that it's about sex.
isnt it about underaged sex or summin?
Only one layer in this song. A girl gets pregent because she is uneducated about sex. Then she aborts her baby like the people in China.
I'll give a million cool points to theperson who can tell me what "coup de jat" means.
hmmm if thats the same as a coup d'etat which is a term associated with napoleon ...thats a rebelion
Goddamn it, why is it SO HARD to figure out the meanings to these songs! FFS!
Its obviously got sumfin to do with birth...BUT THATS NOT IT AND I CANT WORK OUT THE REST!! ARGHHHH!!!! pulls out hair, cries in corner
