Hermione Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 ^Oh my god, your sig is amazingPoprocks is such a heartfelt song, loved it when it came out with International Superhits and still do! Fits in with the Warning era, where i think Billie Joe was coming to terms with how important his marriage was.I love it when it builds up towards the end.... "if you should fall, you know i'll be there!"Bllie's voice is great in this song.Agreed. I love how the lyrics look so simple on the face of it, but they mean so much. The simple phrase "you know I'll be there" is really effective, it's such an honest song.Although now whenever I hear it I think of Tre Cool saying in an interview that it's a good song to make out to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'net Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Isn't it 'I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there?'I might be wrong...You are SO right!I should always check lyrics when I've had a glass of wine before posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbug Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Poprocks is such a heartfelt song, loved it when it came out with International Superhits and still do! Fits in with the Warning era, where i think Billie Joe was coming to terms with how important his marriage was.I love it when it builds up towards the end.... "if you should fall, you know i'll be there!"Bllie's voice is great in this song.It's one of their better love songs... but if ya think about it, they don't have toooo many love songs. Mainly on 1039 and Kerplunk. There's some here and there...I think, on some songs, Billie Joe's voice is so sweet. Precious Like The Saints Are Coming, there at the beginning? Gah. I love him lol^ I'm very partial to the way he growls that line too. I've been enjoying Do Da Da lately, what a brilliant little quirky song it is, "Handcuff your soul to my wristAnd I'll vow my trust to you"Love that imagery!That song is the smeg, it will be played at my wedding, if I ever get married and if the groom objects, well, he won't be my groom for real, I want it played after/when we kiss. I've wanted that ever since I heard the song the first time... I just love it... Rush into my depressionSacrifice everything!Waste with me into nothingWell now you're stuck with me! Stuck with me! Stuck with me! makes me so hoooppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been enjoying Do Da Da lately, what a brilliant little quirky song it is, "Handcuff your soul to my wristAnd I'll vow my trust to you"Love that imagery!even though i can't pick a favorite song, i usually tell people (meaning people i talk to via internet of course)that my favorite song is Do Da Da. it's very special to me- as is the whole shenanigans album. anyway, i never thought it was "handcuff", but then again the shenanigan lyrics on gda has been known to be wrong at times. oh well!----what's this i hear of a green day theme wedding eh?! YES! i shall be there immediately!as for lyrics...erh...."So when you think you're all alone, noone's left to come around, drop like flies and empathizecuz i know that i will someday. and i know that i will suffocate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 anyway, i never thought it was "handcuff", but then again the shenanigan lyrics on gda has been known to be wrong at times. oh well! I'd never looked up the lyrics before, you're right, it's apparantly "hand up your soul to my wrist"BUT there's no official lyrics so that must just be what random people think it is. "Hand up" sounds like nonsense to me, it makes no sense. So I'm sticking with "handcuff", that way the line makes sense, and it's much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ila Reto Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 ^ totally. i was thinking about that before...handcuff makes a lot more sense. and gives a clearer imagei also noticed that some of the 39/sosh lyrics differ at times. in my tab book, it has the lyrics, and they appear different than the ones in the album booklet. i'll put those up sometime, when i find the tab book lol. "I'm hexed with regrets and bad luckso keep your distance- it's rubbing off. or you will be damned to spend your life in hellon earth with me tangled at your feet."nice.

Hermione Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^We're right "I'm hexed with regrets and bad luckso keep your distance- it's rubbing off. or you will be damned to spend your life in hellon earth with me tangled at your feet."nice.I'm impressed by how many clever "putting himself down" phrases he crams into that song. Of course what makes it even better is he's being totally sarcastic, it's some proper nasty biting wittiness. Love it.The line "Torture me, I've been a bad boy" is a source of major amusement in my household Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farley drexel hatcher Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ha, yeah, I love that line - 'torture me, i've been a bad boy' - and he actually sounds very childish when he says it XDI forgot how much I loved that song, I haven't listened to Nimrod in a long time, I really should. The album is full of ingenius lyrics like those. I loved this verse from 'Jinx', as well:"A slap on the wristA stab in the backTorture me, I've been a bad boyNail me to the cross until you have wonI lost before I did any wrong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
