Bonus points for spelling that always made me wonder if she was talking about a transgendered skater, plus a story that exists in a bizarro world where guitar playing skaters are unpopular in high school:
He’s just a boi, and I’m just a girl.
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love.
Haven’t you heard how we rock each other’s world?
I met the sk8er boi I said see ya later boi.
“I’ll see you when you get back prob’ly be up all night, still cleanin’ this gun…” comes to mind, along with “Under my um-ber-ella ella ella hey hey ey ey.”
I do like SOAD, but I have no delusions of deeper meaning in their lyrics. Especially with gems like (entirely from memory)
Want to spread the pie
Pizza Pizza Pie
Every second every minute
Bye bye Bye bye bye
Want to spread the pie
Pizza Pizza Pie
Every second every minute
Bye bye Bye bye bye

I love the song “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You” by Black Kids, but the following lines, as sung by a man who I’m pretty damn sure was born that way, are just plain weird:
“You are the girl that I’ve been dreaming of,
Ever since I was a little girl.”
e:
I don’t know that song (though the title and group name sound familiar), but I have to say that those lyrics are pretty awesomely random. It kind of reminds me of The Thanksgiving Song by Adam Sandler.
Pretty much anything that the Red Hot Chili Peppers have done that consist mainly of random strings of rhyming words said in rapid succession, like this in The Zephyr song:
*Can I get your hand to write on
Just a piece of lead to bite on
What am I to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on
Take a look its on display - for you
Coming down no not today
Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up its always stellar
What a way to finally smell her
Pick it up its not to strong - for you
Take a piece and pass it on*
This entire song. The first few times I heard it I thought it was a Weird Al type parody of whatever genre it is.
Going back a bit farther:
“Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet”
Decent first line, but maybe Jim Morrison never had a dog or something, because they’re not renowned for their love of sweet things. Bear or hummingbird would have been more appropriate.
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side
or
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
or even
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all
“Even more in love with me you’d fall?” This guy specializes in tortured syntax. The instrumental part is boring and stupid too!
This is Cafe Society man, we don’t need your rules here. It’s the establishment that we’re fighting, you’re part of the system, man, the system holding me back.
