Backfire

Recommended Posts

I hope I got them lyrics right...feel free to suggest/correct! :)


Salvatore, you can deff be my baby boo
Be my mafiosi rock 'n' roll high
Back to Malibu, in our trailer park for two
We're like Sid and Nancy, loving the fight

We got a jumper, got a jumper
Got a jumper, got a jumper
My man’s crazy and his mind isn't right
But I like him--fact, I love him
I can’t get e-enough of him
He knows only I can save him tonight

I’ve been waiting on your love
Baby, for too long now, too long now
I thought that I could change you like the others
But I don’t know how, don’t know how
It’s gonna backfire
It’s gonna backfire, baby
Gonna backfire
Gonna backfire, baby
Told you a million times before
Yes, I’m up for it a million more

I'm tired of fighting you, seems like everything I do
Even when I win, I lose with you, man
And it’s not something you choose
You say trouble follows you
It’s been like that since the day you began

We got a jumper, got a jumper
Got a jumper, got a jumper
I know very well you’re bringing me down
I will follow, I will follow
For a little piece of heaven
I am ready, I am willing to drown

I’ve been waiting on your love
Baby, for too long now, too long now
I thought that I could change you like the others
But I don’t know how, don’t know how

It’s gonna backfire
It’s gonna backfire, baby
Gonna backfire
Gonna backfire, baby
We've done it a million times before
Yes, I’m up for it a million more

We’re always taking trips downtown
Officer Brown’s always coming around
Tapping on our windows, “Kids, come out
Ain’t no way to live, let me show you how.”
But we know we’re not gonna change
Keep hustlin’ every night and day

I’ve been waiting on your love
Baby, for too long now, too long now
I thought that I could change you like the others
But I don’t know how, don’t know how

It’s gonna backfire
It’s gonna backfire, baby
Gonna backfire
Gonna backfire, baby
Done it a million times before
And I’m up for it a million more

EVERYONE WATCH OUT, LANALYSIS IS MAKING ITS RETURN.

 

YES!!!

i'm thinking "Salvatore" is an Italian name like...Gnecco! Could it be a nickname? ;)

SitarHero, does that give you a little push? Am I way off base? Only Lanalysis can save us! :crying:

We got a jumper

got a jumper

got a jumper

got a junk on

My man’s crazy and his mind is a knife

I'm pretty sure she says "got a jumper" again (or maybe "got a jump on") instead of "got a junk on" and it's "My man's crazy and his mind isn't right".

..but believe me when I say that the surveillance we live under is the highest privilege compared to how we treat the rest of the world.

OK, i've gotta run, but when i come back i'll listen to the song again and make the changes :)

yes, it could be, because that 4th time, there is a K sound, it isn't jumper again. i heard it a billion times to check!

thanks, i corrected everything, except for that 4th jumper...i still hear a "ck" sound...but whatever! evilentity, maybe it IS jumper again but singing it that one verse she said "junker" or something instead of jumper again - like when singing "video games" live, a couple of times she sang "heaven is a place on erf with you" ;)

The intro of this song sounds a lot like Prince's Sign "O" The Times [interesting and unrelated side note: Prince somehow is able to not allow ANY of his recordings on YouTube. Go ahead and try to find one Prince studio recording on YT.] filtered through early 80s Phil Collins.

 

Also, both the pre-chorus and chorus melodies sound just like something else, but i haven't been able to place either of these two yet.
