Haushinka! Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Billie has made silly lyrics before, but still made them creative. "BMX-cellent tits" is just rubbish. I didnt get it at first, hell, I'm not even sure I still understand that line. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I might like it more if I didn't know he could do far better in terms of light-heartedness, like Blood, Sex & Booze for example. Also is it just me or is Misery an incredibly fun song, both lyrically and otherwise, despite its dark content? But most people grow back into it eventually It's not just you, I love Misery. It's one of my favorites. yes, but you grow back into pissing yourself when you are in your 80's. Billie is way ahead of the curve. Alcohol affects some people's bladders worse than others I really can't believe we are having a conversation about Billie pissing himself. They really need to do something, and quick.

Well this is Green Day were talking about so incidents involving childishness and bodily functions aren't exactly few and far between . I don't think it's a big deal really.

Libertine Angel Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Also is it just me or is Misery an incredibly fun song, both lyrically and otherwise, despite its dark content? Yes, absolutely. I accidentally started singing it (only quietly) on the way to college a few days ago, got an odd look from an old person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anaïs. Posted February 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2015 Also is it just me or is Misery an incredibly fun song, both lyrically and otherwise, despite its dark content? One of my favorite lyrics is "They found him in a Cadillac/bludgeoned with a baseball bat". The not-quite rhyme combined with the quadruple alliteration is fantastic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 One of my favorite lyrics is "They found him in a Cadillac/bludgeoned with a baseball bat". The not-quite rhyme combined with the quadruple alliteration is fantastic. I like that but "Mr Whirly had a catastrophic incident" is one of my favourite lines of all time, along with "magic man, egocentric plastic man" and "cold turkey's getting stale, tonight I'm eating crow." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNICORN VOMIT Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I love how sometimes (just sometimes) this thread deviates from unpopular to popular opinions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walking_c0ntradicti0n Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ok idk where this opinion is on the popularity level, but I prefer Daniel Shatterhand's acoustic version of Misery. The guitar is fun as hell plus the song is a little faster than the original so it goes by easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its too fast - GD's tempo builds - its part of the story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just listened to "Missing You" and realized that Billie actually sings the words "Lost my nerve, it's unnerving," and decided that that line was acceptable? What the fuck, Billie. What the actual fuck. Oh, and I just wanted to add that I think the only reason that "Missing You" doesn't get the same amount of shit that "The Forgotten" and "Nightlife" get in this thread is because Tom and Ceadagh have massive, inexplicable boners for it. FIGHT ME. Missing You is one of my favorites from the trilogy, probably for the same reason Sex, Drugs & Violence is, particularly the demo versions — although the lyrics are cringe-worthy on paper, when paired with the band's almost-signature sound, it's a forgivable breath of fresh air. That could be because they're surrounded by other less-than-outstanding tracks, but those two seem to have held up pretty well with me overall. Also, I have a proverbial boner for the song as well. Just FYI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI. They're really that type of song where you just enjoy the music and not so much analyze the lyrics. Hell, about 90% of the Trilogy are of the same category. I love Lady Nightlife too tbf but FUCK YOU I WILL JOUST YOU OVER THIS IF I HAVE TO. Fixed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 They're really that type of song where you just enjoy the music and not so much analyze the lyrics. You analyze every song that's what people are supposed to do I analyze everything like I analyzed Baby Got Back "I like big butts and I can not lie" Obvious the writer likes big butts and he wants to make sure people know he's not lying" "You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist And a round thing in your face You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough" The other men can't deny that get aroused when a round thing is in their faces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngreendayvet Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I can't not read those lyrics in a non-erotic way. I'm too perverted. How old were you when you realized what Blood Sex and Booze was about? I didn't pick up on it until later in life... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maid Meringue Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think I've literally listened to The Forgotten 3 times. And maybe once all the way through. Even if his voice does sound pretty, the track itself should have been a b-side or something because I could not think of a worse song to end a (very decent) trilogy. I'll take Makeout Party or Baby Eyes over that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
