solongfromthestars Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 A mod can close this if they don't feel it's necessary, but since there's so many requests for the lyrics in other threads and they end up getting buried (and the Red7 lyrics thread isn't really relevant anymore) a general thread for the new lyrics seems like a good idea. ¡UNO! Edit: These are the lyrics as they are in the booklet, except anything in brackets. They're the little bits Billie sings that don't go in the booklet, but they're in the song. Nuclear Family (official) Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round Like a ferris wheel that's breaking down Drinking angel's piss gonna crash and burn I just want some action so gimme my turn Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy It's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you It's looking like another bad comedy Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too Can you hear the sound coming over the hill? Gotta move my feet it's coming in for the kill Baby baby baby it's a blow out Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long 'til I detonate Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy It's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you It's looking like another bad comedy Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round LIke a ferris wheel that's breaking down Screaming screaming screaming bloody murder Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long 'til I detonate Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy It's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you It's looking like another bad comedy Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too (I said ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three Five four three two one) Stay the Night (official) Well I ain't got much time so I'll get to the point Do you wanna share a ride and get the fuck out of this joint? I got an impulse so repulsive that it burns I wanna break your heart until it makes your stomach churn I gotta know if you're the one that got away Even though it was never meant to be Say you'll stay the night 'Cause we're running out of time So stay the night I don't wanna say goodbye (x2) You're so sick and tired of feeling so alone I don't understand the point if you got to go home So won't you stay and count the circles round my eyes? And we can watch the stars until the sun begins to rise I gotta know if you're the one that got away Even though it was never meant to be Say you'll stay the night 'Cause we're running out of time So stay the night I don't wanna say goodbye (x2) Carpe Diem (official) Breaking in a sweat, like a bomb threat Is your silhouette fading out? Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse Another breaking news blowout Ain't it beautiful, so unusual Life's a gas and it's running out Living a cliché, gonna seize the day Bottle rockets and celebrate Carpe diem, a battle cry Aren't we all too young to die? Ask a reason and no reply Aren't we all too young to die? Making a living, making a killing What's worth forgiving, alright A blink of an eye, barely scraping by Dominated by passersby Feeling out of luck, when the traffic's stuck And you're feeling so left behind Getting off a binge, get a second wind Another promise to make a change Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing When the single is out of range Ain't it strange? Carpe diem, a battle cry Aren't we all too young to die? Ask a reason and no reply Aren't we all too young to die? Making a living, making a killing What's worth forgiving, alright Carpe diem, a battle cry Aren't we all too young to die? Ask a reason and no reply Aren't we all too young to die? Let Yourself Go (official) Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much And I don't give a damn anyway You always seem to be stepping in shit And all you really do is complain It's your lie, tell it how you like Small minds seem too alike Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much And I don't give a fuck anyway Let yourself go (Gotta let it go) Shut your mouth 'cause you're screaming in my ear And you're taking up all of the space You're really testing my patience again And I'd rather get punched in the face You're getting on my very last nerve Everything you've said I've already heard I'm sick to death of your every last breath And I don't give a fuck anyway Let yourself go (Gotta let it go) Always fuck fuckin' with my head now Always fucking with And I gotta let it go Let yourself go Kill the DJ (official) Walking after dark In the New York City park Your thoughts are so unholy In the holiest of holes Onward Christian soldier Filled with jive & mind control The blood left on the dancefloor Running running red The bullet that you asked for Kill you to your death unless you Someone kill the DJ Shoot the fucking DJ The voices in my head are saying shoot the fucker down We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind The culture wars in your heart & your mind The blood left on the dancefloor Running running red The bullet that you asked for Kill you to your death unless you Someone kill the DJ Shoot the fucking DJ Hold him underwater till the motherfucker drowns We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind The culture wars in your heart & your mind The blood left on the dancefloor Running running red The bullet that you asked for Kill you to your death unless you Someone kill the DJ Shoot the fucking DJ Shoot the fucker down Someone kill the DJ Shoot the fucking DJ The voices in my head are saying shoot the fucker down Fell for You (official) I woke up in a pool of sweat First I thought that I pissed the bed Haunted stories in the midnight hour The kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower Then I went down like the speed of sound You're out of sight but not out of mind I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you I'll spend the night living in denial Making paper planes just for a while I'll crash into you, I crash into you 'Cause you crashed in my imagination too Break a leg and you crush my heart I'm a mess and you're a work of art Count your blessings going zero to five I steal a kiss then I took a dive Then I went down like the speed of sound You're out of sight but not out of mind I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you I'll spend the night living in denial Making paper planes just for a while I'll crash into you, I crash into you 'Cause you crashed in my imagination I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you And I fell for you And I fell for you Loss of Control (official) I'm taking down all my enemies 'cause they're all so fucking useless A bunch of shit-talking drama queens and they're all filled with excuses I wanna find me a better scene where it's not the same opinion I'd rather go to the funeral than to this high school reunion April Fool!

basKT_case90 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think the line in Nuclear Family: Sick baby, baby, bloody mary - Oh yeah! sounds more like: Scream screaming, screaming bloody murder - oh yeah!

Heather. Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I know we're going to find out the truth soon, but I can't help but continue to insist that the "The darkness and the" line in Kill the DJ he's actually saying something about "Sodom and Gemorrah and the century of thrills" I swear I hear it I'm really excited to find out the real second verse of Kill the DJ, it sounds like he's going straight for it in attacking crappy pop music that will strangle you "to death unless you..." listen to "rockin rock n roll" Fuck yeah!

WrongWayToSalvation Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Wow, a lot of these lyrics are a lot different from what Billie normally does. Usually you can sort of feel his writing style, but these feel a little different. On a couple of them I'm even getting a sort of Thom Yorke vibe. (Lead singer/songwriter of Radiohead) i.e. Nuclear Family, Kill The DJ, Wild One. In case you've never read Thom Yorke's lyrics here's a couple of songs, he's really good: Bodysnatchers http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/radiohead/bodysnatchers.html A Wolf At The Door (my favorite song of his lyrically) http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/radiohead/a_wolf_at_the_door.html But also a lot of these lyrics are some of the most straightforward Billie's ever wrote.

Heather. Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It's so interesting how much cursing is on this album compared to previous. You'd think as Billie matures, he'd find more interesting words than "fucking" to describe everything, but if anything he's getting worse This isn't entirely accurate (especially the first 2 albums?) but this is how many songs are normally explicit on a Green Day album. 1039SOSH: 0/19 Kerplunk: 0/16 Dookie: 2/15 Warning: 1/12 American Idiot: 6/13 21CB: 4/18 Uno: 7/12 Wow! I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but... sometimes you wish he'd using a more interesting adjective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but... sometimes you wish he'd using a more interesting adjective I've always wondered why Billie just randomly started saying "fag/faggot" on the AI album. He said it twice. Also he said "niggers" during Mass Hysteria which was pretty ballsy, I haven't really seen many rock bands say that word. I think he is overkilling the use of the word fuck though. It's fine to use it to get your point across, but when you start using it too much it makes it seem like a placeholder. Like he was thinking "Damn, I can't think of a word to put here to so the line goes with the melody. Eh, I'll just put fuck." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works fine in Let Yourself Go for the "Don't give a fuck anyway," but then there's places later on in the song where it just makes him seem lazy.
