The (Shipped) Gold Standard Lyrics

I love this song. My favourite off of Folie A Deux.

I think it's to do with being a celebrity, and all the pressure that the band is under - especially with Pete's scandals in the press. It's pretty much saying that he (Pete) can't do much without the media watching him, but at the same time it's also his fault for making the news anyway.

This is what I'm hearing, btw, whether it's correct or not I've got no idea.

"Tell that boy I'll leave you alone Like a stone, I'll turn my love 'round"

The next bit beats me.

e>You interpretation of the song is marvelous, but your lyrics are fucked. Allow me to assist you....

Sometimes i want to quit this SONG and become an accountant now but I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down plant PALM trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old I wanna scream "I Love You" from the top of my lungs but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on MY world for so long before it all...
