I've seen the misheard lyrics videos for "Sugar We're Goin Down," so I decided to do a thing where every day I listen to a song from From Under The Cork Tree (having never listened to it before or read the lyrics) and writing down whatever lyrics I hear. I'll try to post two songs every day, which will appear in album order on this page.
Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice cause we are bad news
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth but hearing you lose
It's just past day and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says do not open before Christmas
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the lady's twin
We're only good cause you can't have all those famous friends
Shot we've got such good fascist stats
Brothers and sisters yeah put these words down
Into your notebook (Save lives like these)
With friends went go on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting
Iffy it's just past say and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says do not open before Christmas
Only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the lady's twin
We're only good cause you can't have all those famous friends
Shot we've got such good fascist stats
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the lady's twin
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the lady's twin
We're only good cause you can't have all those famous friends
Sights we've got such good fascist stats
NOTES: This one was obviously easy to hear, I know there are some songs where you just can not tell what Patrick Stump is saying but this doesn't seem like one of them. Then again, maybe all of them are decipherable and everyone's just exaggerating. This is the first Fall Out Boy album I've listened to; before this I've only heard a few songs here and there.
Oh
You lee hoe me up like this
Cause you don't know who I really am
Sometimes I just want to know what it's like to be you
We're making out inside crash cars
Slipping through all the memories
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
Now I only waste it dreaming of you
Turn off the lights
And ih turn off the shine is
Cause all the moose
Make up for the signs
And oh the way
You'll make up scenes my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
You lee hoe me up like this
Cause you don't know who I really am
I used to waste my time on
Waste my time on
Waste my time dreaming of being alive
Now I only waste it dreaming of you
Turn off the lights
And ih turn off the shine is
Cause all the moose
Make up for the signs
And oh the way
You'll make up scenes my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
Oh
I've got headaches
And bad luck but they couldn't touch and oh
I've got headaches
And bad luck but they couldn't touch and oh
I'm not trying
You lee hoe me up like this
Turn off the lights
And ih turn off the shine is
Cause all the moose
Make up for the signs
And oh the way
You'll make up scenes
Like I'll never be the same
Oh
NOTES: So I realized some of the stuff going on in this song. Uhm. Yeah that's fun. There are a few things that I realized what they are further down the way but for the sake of the funny I kept it as I initially heard it.
She says she's no good with words but I'm what
But she stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's a cat get much worse worse no one should ever feel like
I'm two cortles and a hot nail
And I don't wanna forget how your voice smells
These words are all I have so I'll write them
She need them just to get by
Dance dance, we're falling apart to halftime
Dance dance, these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way thee love feel ill
Hey, misery loves me
You always fold just before you found out
Drink up it's last call last resort
I only the first mistake and I
I'm two cortles and a hot nail
And I don't wanna forget how your voice smells
These words are all I have so I'll write them
She need them just to get by
Why don't you show me
Little did a spar you
That saving forty's bed tress
(Wuh)
Dance dance, we're falling apart to halftime
Dance dance, these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way thee love he feel ill
Hey, misery love me
Why don't you show me
Little did a spar you
That saving forty's bed tress
(Bed tress, bed tress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you
Calling into bed with me
Dance dance, we're falling apart to halftime
Dance dance, these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way thee love (hey lay low)
Dance, this is the way thee love (hey lay low)
Dance, this is the way thee love he feel ill
Hey, misery love me
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
NOTES: Why is this song so catchy!! I'm realizing this is less of a funny funny thing I'm doing and more like I'm actually listening to the album. Which, like, this is a pretty great thing for a first listen. I might do this more in the future, then. Probably with American Idiot by Green Day, since I've heard a few songs from that and plan to get the CD sometime in the near future.
Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you wanna hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the glass next to the mausoleum
I'm just the nuts in your bedpost but you're just a la dee da song
(Nuts in your bedpost but you're just a la de da song)
Drop a whore, break a name
We're allways slipping in and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
We're going down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh tell mommy I watching youtube from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just the nuts in your bedpost but you're just a la dee da song
(Nuts in your bedpost but you're just a la de da song)
Drop a whore, break a name
We're allways slipping in and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
We're going down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
Down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
We're going down down in an earlier round (teh teh weh I seh)
And sugar we're going down swinging (take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (taking eh my self)
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
We're going daughter (daughter)
Daughter (daughter)
We're going daughter (daughter)
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
We're going down down in an earlier round (teh teh weh I seh)
And sugar we're going down swinging (take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (taking eh my self)
A loo lee gah kuh flex cock it and pull it
NOTES: This is the one everyone's heard, so I already know a lot of the lyrics to this one. (It was this song that inspired me to do this in the first place.) As such, my interpretation is heavily based on that misheard lyric video, so I will link it here to give gredit: Misheard Lyrics- Sugar We're Going Down. I might have gotten the youtube line from different video, though, but it's all I can hear in that spot; I don't know the original line. Also in the part with the overlapping voices there might have been a third voice but I couldn't hear anything it was saying.
Dream terror didn't care a thing
A cold speed I'll bleed is we me
Just to keep this whole
Light a match to lead maybe
Well I don't mess to weeb me
I keep my jealousy worse coarse
Need some mud
And if you see this makes you happy then I'm not the only one
Whoa
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
I keep my jealousy worse coarse
Need some mud
And if you see this makes you happy then I'm not the only one
Whoa
Deep jealousy and kerosene
A cold speed I'll breathe this weed me
Just to keep this whole (just to keep this whole)
Light a match to lead maybe
Well I don't mess to weeb me
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
So rip me like a locket around your throat
I weigh you down I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
(So rip me like a locket) around your throat
(I weigh you down) I'll watch you choke
(You look so good in blue)
You look so good in blue
So rip me like a locket around your throat
I weigh you down I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
Keep quiet, nothing comes in idiocy
You cannot lay on your bed all day
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand me all those peppers I fed you every day
NOTES: In the third time of the locket verse there's another voice but I can't hear what it says. It might be repeating another part of the song. Also apparently the title of this song is based on Veronica Mars which I've seen a few episodes of! Makes sense for the time period. Like "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" & "But it's Better If You Do" by Panic! At The Disco being a line from Closer.
We joke me something awful just like kisses of the metal best friends
We didn't kiss you, feel like it is
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
And trust in love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it and never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lodges won't stop slipping
And the subtle reputations all align
We can fake it for the airwaves
Whilst the smiles beating half dead
Come I can bury myself so everyone else around me
Please put the doctor on the phone cause I'm not making any sense
L'Emmanuel odd but me for this less
And my back has been breaking from this heavy haul
We'd never seen so far
I'm heartlessly hopeful you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lodges won't stop slipping
And the subtle reputations all align
We can fake it for the airwaves
Whilst the smiles beating half dead
Come I can bury myself so everyone else around me
So everyone else around me
Everyone else around me
Everyone else around me
NOTES: MOMENT OF APPRECIATION FOR THE WRITERS OF FALL OUT BOY!!! At the end of the album I'm gonna read the actual lyrics to all the songs (maybe even in the CD booklet if I like it enough) cause honestly? The topics can be slightly off but the lyrics OH THE LYRICS. I feel guilty for not getting some of the lyrics for this one cause its so good!
I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who'll lie down
I bee stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
Keep telling myself I keep telling myself
Not against the toll but you got me looking at you
Keep telling myself I keep telling myself
I'm not against re toll
Singing out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do to well
Singing out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do to well on my own
I'll read the only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another amber so
I just need a stronger dose
Keep telling myself I keep telling myself
Not against the toll but you got me looking at you
Keep telling myself I keep telling myself
I'm not against re toll
Singing out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do to well
Singing out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do to well on my own
Da
Do
Da
Do
Keep telling myself I keep telling myself
Not against the toll but you got me looking at you
Oh
Keep telling myself I keep telling myself
I'm not against re toll
Singing out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do to well on my own
NOTES: This one was so hard to understand at parts!! Sorry I'm too lazy to write out all the "da"s and "do"s. Oh also Brendon Urie sings on this one too! I love when they do things like that; like Hayley Williams singing Sugar We're Goin Down at a FoB concert.
Are we going up
Or just going down
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take your tears
Put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down
To show you the light
We're the therapists thumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
Well-read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say
Don't believe a word
Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we going up
Or just going down
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take your tears
Put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down
To show you the light
And we travel
Like gypsies
Only with worse luck
And far less goal
The kids you used to love
When can read you old
Well the life is
Here till the bitter end
Condemned from the start
The shade of the way
The songs and the wounds oh
The beating of a heart
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we going up
Or just going down
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take your tears
Put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down
To show you the light
And there's a chug in the thermostat
To other a row
And there's another around
To love is spending your trust goddess
Unsaid in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of believe is the lie
I hope you sing along and steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up
The best part of believe is the lie
I hope you sing along and steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up
Are we going up
Or just going down (WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOW)
Are we going up
Or just going down
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take your tears
Put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down
To show you the light
NOTES: I think the g slur wasn't a slur back then... I wish people would stop romanticizing and sugarcoating the 2000s; things were pretty bad back then in terms of diversity and inclusion. Also YESS THE SCREAMS THE SCREAMS BRING ON THE SCREAMS but not too much dont destroy your throat I already have one friend with laryngitis on my hands. And the instrumental for the verse before the screams was so good!
You are a getaway car I support to the left
Above me under the covers on top of your head
You steer eer eer eer make my head swell
I keep you on and not ask you where you've been
And with your blackest black dress stuck to the skin
When it's set and dull you all scramble in
And be friends, we're friends
Just because we move units
Star cuts like matches
Cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars of stories
Not the fear
At least everybody's trying (everybody's trying)
Everyone deserves the flames
But it's all to shame
'S all to shame
The sounds of this small town
Make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt)
(Oh yeah, you caught me)
But I caught you on worse
Oh
They say (you want a war, you got a war)
But who are you fighting for?
Time's out ships are on the ground
We drown, traitors on shadow order
And with your blackest black dress stuck to the skin
When it's set and dull you all scramble in
And be friends, we're friends
Just because we move units
Star cuts like matches
Cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars of stories
Not the fear
At least everybody's trying (everybody's trying)
Everyone deserves the flames
But it's all to shame
'S all to shame
Everybody's trying (everybody's shining)
Everyone deserves the flames
But it's all to shame
'S all to shame
Star cuts like matches
Cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars of stories
Not the fear
At least everybody's trying (everybody's trying)
Everyone deserves the flames
But it's all to shame
NOTES: Gabi Belle once said in a video that emo artists always write about hating their town. Why is this like the second song on this album that mentions a town. She even used a FoB line to illustrate that. Anyways this song was hard as you can tell. I can't believe I got around to doing this today, since I have a lot of homework and also have been obsessing over the CSS of this website, as you can tell if you've been following along as I do this.
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know you'll never know
That some secrets were meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
I'm the first kid to ride in hearts slides and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I got arrogance down to a science
Oh and I'm the first kid to ride in hearts slides and friends now
Dah suh seh me chee wuh few mits
Something something
Of the way you or to cover it up
Can't cover it up
So dah suh seh me chee wuh few mits
So something something
Of the way you or can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
No oh
Find a safe place, raise yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, raise yourself, fake all kids
Like a shfis, Justin coughed out a store
But for what we've been caught we just feel more alone
Always wait for a cork, onions fell, I left
So progress a poor I missing you to death
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
Something something
Of the way you or can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So something something
Of the way you or can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
No oh
(To an of) No one knew
(Feeling borrowed) We're always blue
(To an of) No one knew
(Feeling borrowed) We're always blue
TO AN OF, NO ONE KNEW
FEELING BORROWED, WE'RE ALWAYS BLUE
TO AN OF, NO ONE KNEW
FEELING BORROWED, WE'RE ALWAYS
(BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) I found a cuticle, want it?
I found a cuticle, we loaned it
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting
Of the way you are; can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting
Of the way you are; can't cover it up
CAN'T COVER IT UUUUUAAAAAAAAAP
NOTES: Love the... meme title lmao; this might be my favorite title from the album. Also "Something" is not a placeholder, that's legitimately what I heard. And "Justin coughed out a store" is definitely a highlight of this listening, another being just marveling at how well-written these lyrics are (the ones I do hear). And I figured out the chorus on the second and third choruses (as you can tell) but left my original interpretation in there for humor's sake. This is probably the least understandable song so far.
And expect the final three songs tomorrow! If I have enough time I'll relisten to the album with the actual lyrics! If not, I'll probably end up having time by the end of next week.
I confess, I messed up, dropping I'm sorry like you're still around
And I know you dressed up, hey kid you're never gonna live this down
You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with, and I'm just the boy who's had too many chances
I'm sleeping on your folks' porch again dreaming, she said she said she said why don't you just drop dead
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for for hating it
So say what are you waiting for; kiss her, kiss her
I said I close early cause I know I'm always late
Light me off, give up on me cause darling what did you expect
I'm just all a lost cause, a long shot, don't even take this bet
You can make all the music, email the spotlights
Get all the signs and most just right
I'm sleeping on your folks' porch again dreaming, she said she said she said why don't you just drop dead
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for for hating it
So say what are you waiting for; kiss her, kiss her
I said my cock's early cause I know I'm always late (always, always, oh)
You said you'd keep me honest (always, always, oh)
But I won't call you on it (always, always, oh)
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for for hating it
So say what are you waiting for; kiss her, kiss her
I said my cock's early cause I know I'm always late
I said my cock's early cause I know I'm always late
NOTES: This being the shortest song so far was pretty refreshing since I have to get through three songs today instead of two. (I just didn't want to leave the last one for tomorrow.)
This has been said so many times and I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance and I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores I am the waves begging for big moons
I'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town, no
(Your secret's out)
I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mine over you should show mowhhh
This has been said so many times and I'm not sure if it matters
But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention because we're just so bored, oh
We never knew that you would pick it up uh oh I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
(Your secret's out)
I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mine over you duh duh mowhhh
I used to obsess over living
Now I only obsess over youihh
Tell me you'd like boys like me betterh
In the dark lie in the dump of yeeouihh
(This) has (been) said (so many times and) I'M NOT sure if it matters (matters)
(THIS) HAS (BEEN) SAID (SO MANY TIMES AND) I'M NOT SURE IF IT MATTAARS (MATTAARS)
This has been said so many times and I'm not sure if it matters
Oh THIS HAS BEEN SAID SO MANY TIMES AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT MAYAYAYAAAAA YEAH
I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to) (OH)
(YEAH) Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one (OH)
And it's mine OVER YOU DOH DOH DOH DOH MOWHHH
From day one I talked about getting out but not forgetting about how my worst fears are letting out. He said why put an address on the same old loneliness when breathing just passes the time until we all just get old and die? Now talking's just a waste of breath and living's just a waste of death and why put a new address on the same old loneliness and this is you and me and me and you until we've got nothing left!
NOTES: Holy shit that chord progression in the 3rd and 4th lines is just like When The Day Met The Night by Panic! At The Disco!!! The chords of this song are really good. Also yes, I HAD to write the emo voice phonetically. Also, I abcolutely love the voice over at the end. It cuts off pretty abruptly so maybe it bleeds into the next song? Only one way to find out!
I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves to fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
To I swear I say, to I swear I say
Two hands between legs or whatever it takes to
Drinks at the bar to the club to the kids in your car
To hotel stair, to the emergency exit door no
To the love I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The bible in the drawer
Don't did it in the chew for me
I said (I said (I said (I said)))
It never calms me when I'm down love never wanted me
But I took it anyway (TOOK IT ANYWAY)
Put you into the speaker
Choose love and sympathy
But never both
Love never wanted me
I hoped you choked and crashed your car
A-tier catcher, that's all that you are
Ever were from the start
I swear I say
(I swear I say)
Two hands between legs or whatever it takes to
Drinks at the bar to the club to the kids in your car
To hotel stair, to the emergency exit door no
To the love I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The bible in the drawer
What did it ever do for me?
I said (I said (I said (I said)))
It never calms me when I'm down love never wanted me
But I took it anyway (TOOK IT ANYWAY)
Put you into the speaker
Choose love and sympathy
But never both, no
To the love I left my conscience
Pressed through the keyhole, I watched you
Dress, kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the love I left my conscience
Pressed through the keyhole, I watched you
Dress, kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the love I left my conscience
Pressed through the keyhole, I watched you
Dress, kiss and tell (kiss and tell)
Loose lips sink ships
To the love I left my conscience pressed
To the love I left my conscience pressed
To the love I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The bible in the drawer
What did it ever do for me?
I say
NOTES: Love a good repeating ending. The wat the chords changed from chorus to chorus was so interesting!! Anyways, sorry if this one is sloppier than the others; I was kind of rushing to get this done. But now it's done! Yay! I'm probably gonna relisten to the whole album later today if I can.
I enjoyed this album so much that I plan on getting the CD at some point in the future, though it'll probably be in a while because of availability and money. Once I do get it I'll go back to this, following along with the CD booklet with the correct lyrics, and I'll add another note at the end of each song with thoughts I have between what I heard and the actual lyrics. Just hoping that the CD booklet has the final lyrics and not the drafts like A Fever You Can't Sweat Out does!
