Verycool99 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 can anyone help with the lyrics? I’ve got this down but I’m not sure on the start of a line in the second verse [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 [Verse 1] She's throwing punches to the beat To the sound of cable TV And she'll never see the world the same She is a Cold War in my head And I am [?] (sounds like he says displaying) On the danger side of hearts, oh no [Pre-Chorus] Coffee and cyanide for lovers in the state If this is not a choice We got one foot in the grave [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 [Verse 2] Crime, following the signs Part of our new lives God-bless the end of time Pain violence and cocaine [?] (Sulfur?) from acid rain We’re gonna live the truth And pretend that it’s okay [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDFan2019 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It definitely sounds like we’re in for a rock opera as the subject of the song is only described as “she”. Like who is she? Will there be more songs about this character? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Someone on YT actually covered the song with more studio quality and it’s a much better way to get a reading of the song. I think the actual studio version should be a lot better and it seems like it will be just a fast and fun song. We’re all missing that from the band these days. It seems like it would be an excellent “filler” track on the new album. Obviously not going to be a single but atleast it’s a fun 2-3 min song with some pace to it. 4 hours ago, Christian's Inferno! said: She Westbound Sign Wild One Youngblood These are all non-rock opera tracks that describe someone only using the word "she". Why would you assume that "she" refers to some character Billie made up for a rock opera? She and Westbound Sign are actually single-track rock operas. Wild One is a 30 second rock opera around ths 1:11-1:41 mark Youngblood was partially part of C&V which was apparently supposed to be a traditional opera. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
