| also, with the music references: "Budokan" seems to be an arena in Tokyo where a lot of famous bands have played and released live recordings from. | |

The many references to other songs is cool. Good catch. I can read this song to be about prostitutes. The relationship stuff sounds good too. I don't really read any explicit references to oral sex, except the word "swallow". I can see how the musical references fit into waiting/boredom, like thoughts going through someone's head during sex :) at the end: "waiting, contact, shake it baby / watch him, contact, shake it baby" This sums up the three stages of finding a john waiting ("days like television" and the references to time ticking or sliding). contact shaking it ("bounce, twirl", "kiss me come here, close the door") I could imagine some kind of mixed up conversation between girls and a pimp. A lot of the lines are encouraging something to happen. -- In the live version it sounds like she says "If the high heels don't trade, don't trade!" |

| Lagwagon – Know It All Lyrics | 17 years ago |

One of my first favourite Lagwagon songs. I remember listening to this on repeat when I bought the Fat Wreck Chords comp. Reading the lyrics now... Do you think it is directed towards (a) college radio station(s)? or towards a friend who did go to college and left punk for the "indie" scene? or are both those just songwriting devices to get a point across? About "selling out," I think a lot of the time it's true that the reason a band is now being played on the radio/musicTV is that their sound has changed consciously or unconsciously to become more popular/"easy to listen to." I stopped listening to any Jimmy Eat World including and after the Bleed American album, it just wasnt interesting. Same with Saves the Day, including and after the Nightengale album. There old stuff is still appealing, but their new music isn't. Does that mean I don't like the band? Or maybe it's just that my musical tastes have changed faster than their music has. anyway, great song! |

Just discovered this song, it's amazing. I'm 100% sure he says 'Take away what's been assaulting you' not 'the spitting salt in you'. fits with buddy's drug addiction interpretation too. the neologies/ideologies, i dunno. |
