Soda Shop Lyrics
I'm lying on the street in the rain and wind
From doing foward rolls down Avenue A
With my guitar on my back
don't let it end this way
I didn't know I could get service in Hell
How quickly can you get here?
Don't know where I am dear
Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me
I over did it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl
at the I don't know when to stop sock hop
I remember it now
but at the time I thought I was dead
You put a pan there
and held back my hair
How can I repay you for saving me
and my hardwood floor?
I over did it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl
at the I don't know when to stop sock hop
I pick the pan off of the ground
I read my upheaves
Much like tea leaves
They said its over so get sober or you'll die
again
I over did it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl
at the I don't know when to stop sock hop
this song is about getting DRUNK. like CRAZY drunk, so your 'partner' has to take care of you why has nobody commented yet? such a great song watch Shortbus!
haha yea def is a great song. just about ur friend or someone close to u helping u through ur drunkness basically
I think it's supposed to be "From doing forward rolls down Avenue A" and "Somehow I dialed my CELL I didn’t know I could get service in hell How quickly can you get here Don’t know where I am DEAR Finally the world ACTUALLY seems to be revolving around me"
What does he mean by Soda Shop?
Soda Shop = Bar/Pub
definitely the cutest song about alcoholism i've ever heard! the "doo-wop, soda shop, sock-hop" 50s metaphor is kind of awesome.
and seriously, watch shortbus.
Shortbus ws fantastic :]
karisva: I think the soda shop is the bar, or pub.
Dont know, though.
Kickass song.
"Thanks for being my girl"
i thought hes gay?
He is gay. The song never says the "dear" is a romantic dear or a good friend dear.
Besides, people often write songs with the pronouns all wrong just because it makes for a better story. Not everything has to be straight from a person's own life (no pun intended).
Actually, I think the song is about having to look after yourself after getting drunk-- the 'somehow I dialed my cell' seems to suggest it... but of course, it could also mean that he calls his own cell (which is at home and the friend picks it up).
