Fall Out Boy....
Yay. I posted all my fave Fall Out Boy lyrics from their new CD, From Under The Cork Tree.
1. Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet
2. Of All The Gin Joints In All The World
You only hold me up like this Cause you don't know who I really am
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
3. Dance, Dance
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic Tonight it's "it can't get much worse" Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress, love
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
4. Sugar We're Going Down
Cause that's just who I am this week
I'm just a notch in your bedpost But you're just a line in a song
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
I'll be your number one with a bullet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
5. Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner
Light a match to leave me be.
I keep my jealousy close, 'Cause it's all mine. And if you say this makes you happy, Then I'm not the only one lying.
Keep quiet, Nothing comes as easy as you.
I'll be your best kept secret And your biggest mistake.
6. I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it And never had it at all
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
7. 7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen)
I'm sleeping my way out of this one With anyone who will lie down
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
8. Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
No matter what they say, don't believe a word
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie"
So give in or just give up
9. Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends
Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories
10. I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Always weigh what I've lost against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death
You can't cover it up
11. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"
I confess, I messed up, dropping I'm sorry like you're still around.
And 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 don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right
12. Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows)
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you
He said why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
13. XO
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
"I hoped you choked
And crashed your car"
