evilentity Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I had a little trouble with some of the lyrics. Lyrics I'm unsure about are in red: Our kind of love It was once in a lifetime It couldn't last It was doomed from the first time And you were 50s cool In blue suede shoes But it was a cover for all of the trouble You got into I always fall for the wrong guy Things that are bad always taste nice That's what girls like me do Lose you Don't tell me it's over Don't tell me it's over Hollywood's dead Elvis is crying Vicious in flames [bolin/Bolan?] is dying And in the light you're sickeningly beautiful Say goodbye, you're sickeningly beautiful This kind of life Wasn't meant for the good girl Try as I might In the end, it's a cruel world And you are living proof Sinatra aloof That you were an actor who only went after The ones who swooned I always fall for the same type Gangsters in Vegas on game night That's what girls like me like The limelight Don't tell me it's over Don't tell me it's over Hollywood's dead Elvis is crying Marilyn's sad Hendrix is lying there In the light you're sickeningly beautiful Say goodbye, you're sickeningly beautiful If you should go before me then know That I always loved you There's no one above you, baby Don't tell me it's over Don't tell me it's over Hollywood's dead Elvis is crying Lennon, wake up Cobain, stop lying there In the light you're sickeningly beautiful Say goodbye, you're sickeningly beautiful Say goodnight, you're so beautiful Hollywood's dead Hollywood's dead Hollywood's dead Yeah Hollywood's dead Hollywood's dead Hollywood's dead Yeah (Cut!) 2 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.
teethclick Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 It sounds like "lose you" I think. And in this line you should write "Hendrix is lying There In the light you're sickeningly beautiful" It goes better with the rime in the pervious lines. And the same in the Cobain line. And this I'm not sure about at all, but it sounds like "you should go before me then know". Idk about that one tho. 0 Quote last.fm

Guest MissDaytona Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Roland is dying there is what it sounds like which begs the question- who's roland??? lmao Oh ok.. bishop refers to the north lake in bishop, ca that caught fire maybe??? and found this on 'roland' at fordham's website http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/roland-ohag.asp 0 Quote
evilentity Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Lose you If you should go before me then know. Thanks for both these corrections! But I have to say you guys are way off on some of the other lyrics: Vicious/Bitches/Witches in flames *facepalm* Lenin wake up Oh ok.. bishop refers to the north lake in bishop, ca that caught fire maybe??? She's name-checking a bunch of musicians that died early: Elvis, Sid Vicious, Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and... somebody else: Pauline/a is dying / Bowling (?) is dying Roland is dying there is what it sounds like which begs the question- who's roland??? lmao Perhaps it's (Tommy) Bolin or (Marc) Bolan? Both of those guys were musicians who died early, but neither was as famous as the other people she lists, nor their deaths as fetishized. 0 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.
NEAL Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Lenin. Dude.. I'll say it's Bolin.. 0 Quote ..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.
evilentity Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Also, Sid Vicious died of an overdose, not in a fire, so I'm assuming "Vicious in flames" is referring to the fact that he was cremated. 0 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.
Monicker Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I hope for the sake of all that is good in the world that Lana is mentioning Marc Bolan in a song. That would be charming. 0 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein
ednafrau Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I hope for the sake of all that is good in the world that Lana is mentioning Marc Bolan in a song. That would be charming. yep, i'm pretty sure she's referring to the t-rex frontman. love it! 0 Quote
