lflflflflflflflflflf 3,721 Posted October 21, 2012 Is it golden brown or gold and brown? I kinda hear both idk. When she says "round" and "proud" she doesn't say the D at the end, so it's possible that she says "gold and brown". 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FREEDOM 307 Posted November 8, 2012 "Your life's so sick..." doesn't she say "your like so sick.." "they can't go compare..." there's no "go" "only you can bring me back.." i think it's "only you can take me there" i also agree that it says "get you crystal meth fit on.." instead of "get your crystal method on..." ^this is what my ears hear but i may be wrong??? 0 Quote ~xxx~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monicker 3,030 Posted November 19, 2012 So, in the spirit of Lizzy's lyrical blunders (Summer of Sam, anyone?), the lyrics of American refer to the wrong singer as the king! Come on, Liz, Springsteen is the boss. It is your boi Elvis, your main obsession in life (hello? ) who is the king. And you even mentioned him later in the song! Or is it that she's implying that the American doesn't know these common things? 2 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
