solongfromthestars Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 guess this song isn't about Adie after all? I mean wtf seriously. All these songs about other women. I didn't really think of it as being about Adrienne, but then the song isn't actually serious at all. Nothing comes up if you google Amanda Jones so I guess it must be a reference to "the" Amanda but wtf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He wrote the song because of Theo Stockman's "King of Fuck" and the cast yelling "It's Fuck Time"... Jones is probably a fake last name he assigned to Amanda (for all we know, her real name isnt actually Amanda), and considering how many random different lyrics he's used in that line before, methinks there was probably a conscious decision made to put that line in so that there's more of a through-line storywise for the song Amanda on Tre... not that these are concept albums like AI/21CB with recurring characters, but he probably put that in to make the song "Amanda" more contextualized, leave little clues for it or whatever. The song isn't serious though, that much we do know And yes, Billie did mention that he got a chance to reconnect with Amanda (in person/via phone, who knows).

Ingrid Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I never even liked Fuck Time to begin with, but now it just got ten times weirder... I mean, what the actual fuck, Billie? What the actual fuck. I do agree with some of the points Heather made, but still, that is so incredibly awkward. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Official lyrics: Makeout Party: Hey you've got yourself a pretty little mouth I think I want to rub you the wrong way Do you wanna spin the bottle? Play a game of chicken? It's a tongue twister until your lips are bleeding Anyhow anywhere, kiss me there Kiss me there Scream and shout, truth or dare Kiss me there, kiss me there You're so precious, you're a fucking delinquent I got myself jonesing and I need some fixin' It's a makeout party on another dimension It's gonna get crowded with some bad intentions Stray Heart: I lost my way oh baby, this stray heart Went to another, can you recover baby? Oh you're the only one that I'm dreaming of Your precious heart was torn apart by me and You, you're not alone Oh and now I'm where I belong We're not alone Oh, I'll hold your heart and never let go Everything that I want, I want from you But I just can't have you Everything that I need, I need from you But I just can't have you I said a thousand times, and now a thousand one We'll never part, I'll never stray again from you This dog is destined for a home to your heart We'll never part, I'll never stray again from you Ashley: Ashley, are you running around? Are you crying out in bloody murder? Ashley, are you bumming around? You're crying on my cold shoulder You used to dangle my heart with your puppet strings You dangled your desires right in front of my face You led me to the well but wouldn't let me drink Swallowing my pride and never even got the taste But times comes around and I'm not so naive I finally lost touch 'cause you're so out of reach You say that you're fine but I know that you ain't You're looking like hell and you're no fucking saint You are where you are A wish on a shooting star You are filthy thought In my memory I taste the cigarettes and liquor on your breath We used to call it speed but now it's crystal meth Back when I loved you but you're scaring me to death This careless memory and now I could care less Baby Eyes: Year of the rat, last of the litter Somebody shot the babysitter They say my middle name is Danger The kind to keep away from strangers I say whoa, I'm out of control Well, baby when I see your pretty face I say whoa, God rest your fucking soul 'Cause baby baby I was born to kill I pulled the trigger for the shooting stars I'm the motor in your crashing car I am the cherub in the arab spring I am the bullet in your magazine 'Cause baby baby eyes Well baby baby eyes Well baby baby I was born to kill Lady Cobra: Well I met a girl named Lady Cobra Her black heart beats crimson and clover She gives me chills and fever blisters She's serving spells and voodoo shakes Well she just wants to get me high Sticks a needle in my eye Reeks like hell, lost in temptation Rubbing on my inner demons Don't want suicide, I don't want this to end I just want to be your friend Cuddle up with me real tight Talk to me by candlelight Do you want to play a game of Twister? Like a dirty old man with a babysitter Well I don't want make you cry Cross my heart and hope to die Drawing blood and lonely stars Drinking piss for cheap guitars Nightlife: Taking a ride to my old haunts She's in my blood I reside in my Nightlife My favorite color is candy apple girl And she resides in my mind of my Nightlife What's that I hear? You want to go for a ride? Don't be afraid boy To come inside I got that thing that you want The fix that you need Chase this with a little lust and greed I'll be the devil on your shoulder saying "Hey boy, come over" My black heart beats crimson and clover So operator, operator patch my boy in This is nightlife I'll get under your skin Short of breath Heart beats fast Sounds like love But you know it won't last Cheap champagne stain on an even cheaper suit Hope there's more in your pants than a bus route Red velvet halls like these sugar coated walls Girls hang on bar stools for late last calls This town is full of snakes Mistakes and whiskey shakes It's too late I already cut the brakes Well I am rolling, strolling into town (Come Inside) Is it me or am I going crazy? (It's just you) This dirty city is my sugar town (Sugar town) My little angel of death is my nightlife Gonna make a move before I get bored If you wanna explore my vocal chord Baby girl coco dancing the cooch One hand on my knee one on the hooch Why don't you stick around For one more round This place is a circus And I know you'll be my clown 'Cause I'm a ringleader I run the show And only when I tell ya Will it be time to go (Hey boy) She is my nightlife (See you later) Wow! That's Loud: Smell your technicolor in your eyes Makes me sick with pleasure in my mind Shake it like it's so enlightening, staring in the sun that's blinding Like a bottlerocket in the sky Dressed to the nines like a black cat's eyes You're such a beautiful mess tonight Wow that dirty dress is so loud, wow that dirty dress is so loud And it goes Wearing a psychotic red alert Your bouquet of flowers in the dirt Radioactive and primal, nuclear and so delightful Wearing Day-Glo where you know it hurts Amy: Is your heart singing out of tune? Are your eyes just singing the blues? Dirty records from another time Some bloodstains on your shoes No one really knows about your soul And I barely really know your name Burning rhythms and posting lies And a bunch of fools drown in shame Amy, don't you go I want you around Singing whoa, please don't go Do you want to be a friend of mine? Did you tattoo a lucky charm To keep you out of harm's way Warding off all evil signs But never really kept you safe Now you're too young for the golden age 'Cause the record bins been replaced 27 gone without a trace And you walked away from your drink Amy, please don't you go Is your heart singing out of tune? Are your eyes just singing the blues? Dirty records from another time Some bloodstains on your shoes May I have this last dance? By chance if we should meet Can you write me a lullaby? So we can sing you to sleep That's what I've got so far, credits goes to whoever posted the pictures from the ¡Dos! book here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farley drexel hatcher Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I don't get what's so weird about the Amanda Jones thing? Like seriously did anyone think Fuck Time was actually about Adrienne? The 'stop mentally cheating' thing is fucking ridiculous, we don't know him, we have no right to assume stuff like that, especially about a song that's lyrics we know used to be a bunch of gibberish. The song means nothing, it's done for comedy. There was a quote from a recent interview that mentioned the fact he was married yet singing these kinds of songs; I can't remember it exactly, but he said something like he's been married and in a beautiful relationship for 18 years, and he would never risk losing what he has, but as a musician you have to think differently; that he chose to be a good father and husband and have fun with his music, but that's it. It definitely was the most down to earth comment he's said on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely was the most down to earth comment he's said on the subject. I don't think anyone honestly thought Fuck Time was about Adrienne, or about anyone for that matter. (Though there was that one FBHT performance where he starts moaning and saying Adrienne, Adrienne, I wanna fuck you till youre blue in the face, but that's obviously what was on his mind at THAT show ) And just because the official lyrics include Amanda, I don't think it's about her either, it's just a fun, stupid song. I agree that it's not a big deal at all, though it is kind of peculiar and interesting that he put in those lyrics. And speaking of interviews, he also mentioned (just as a contrast) that these songs "Take you places maybe you shouldn't go, maybe a married man shouldn't go there. I don't really know." So he's semi-conscious that these are "naughty" thoughts, but I wouldn't over-analyze it much more than that. Anyway, I came to this thread to ask what the fuck "I got myself jonesing" means in Makeout Party? I'm not hip enough to know that slang. (And does that have any connection with Amanda "Jones"?)

I don't really find it weird myself, not with such a silly song XD and yeah I read that interview, but at the end of the day these are songs, not real life. He's also said that there are songs about imaginary ex girlfriends on there. And it's his life, so yeah. Adrienne obviously gives him her blessing with the songs anyway, he said she really enjoys them. And doesn't 'jonesing' just mean to want something? so basically 'i got myself wanting' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogankiwifruit Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 i tryed. "99 Revolutions" Written by Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt Performed by Green Day Courtesy of Warner Bros. Records Inc. By arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing There’s a trouble in the air A rumble in the streets A going out of business sale And a race to bankruptcy It’s not one to 99, it’s 99 to one A common cause and a call to arms For the health of our daughters and our sons It’s ninety nine revolutions tonight There’s a rat in the company A bill on easy street How the fuck did the working stiff Become so obsolete? Hit the lights and bang your drum And let your flag unfold Cause history will prove itself In the hall of justice and lost souls It’s ninety nine revolutions tonight We live in troubled times From the ghettos to an empty suburban home We live in troubled times And I’m 99 percent sure that something’s wrong It’s ninety nine revolutions tonight 99 revolution tonight 99 revolution tonight 99 revolution tonight 99 revolution tonight 99 revolution tonight 99 revolution tonight 99 revolution tonight Let’s go crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Has anyone figured out the backing vocals on Lady Cobra? I can't understand what is being said.

Or it could just be a different name for Amanda. Only Billie knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
