The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Bye, Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye, Bye
I'm doin' this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby, come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I had enough
It might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I live for you and me
And now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye
Don't really want to make it tough,
I just want to tell you that I had enough
It might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye
I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't want to be the reason
For your love no more
Bye, Bye
I'm checkin out
I'm signin off
Don't want to be the loser
And I've had enough
I don't want to be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leavin' you behind
Bye, bye, bye
I don't want to make it tough
Make it tough
But I had enough
And it ain't no lie
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, Bye
Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
I don't want to be your fool
But it ain't no lie

Holiday

@[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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is from a compilation CD called "Punk Goes Pop" out on Fearless Records.
yeah, i love this cd. and plus further seems forever is from seattle. w00t. and of course, it's a cover of everyone's favorite boy band gag nsync..actually bsb is worse..but nvm. POP SUCKS. EMO LIVE FOREVER. =]
further seems forever isn't from seattle, they're from south florida..
actually, theyre from south florida
ah ahahaa... seattle?! mmmkay.
whast up
Has anyone heard Further Seems Forever with there new singer? He's really good, better then Chris Caraba I would say. He's more hardcore, the pit at the show I went to of theirs was awesome.
I think this song should have been done like this in the first place...
I love that CD it's hilarious! You know what though, FSF sound exactly like Nsync, I hate to say. The singing, I mean. It took a lot of convincing from my friends to convince me that they really sang it. Are you FSF fans dashboard fans as well? When did Chris leave FSF? What's the new singer's name?
i love nsync i want to have hot sweaty sex with them.i am a guy i want you. im a nazi. are you a jew?
