ITS TIME

if these are the lyrics that crystal meth helps you write.....

I was so ready to vote for "I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads," but it turns out that is from "Never Let You Go."

It doesn't sound like xtian rock insofar as it is actually pretty enjoyable to listen to.

if these are the lyrics that crystal meth helps you write.....

no, these are the lyrics crystal myth helps you write

Ovulation, She's got her own motivation,

wau

because pretty lady you are smokin'
rock.

i always heard that as "ovation," which i thought made it a pretty dumb lyric already

Worst:

And I come on like a freak show takes the stage.
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
The velvet it rips / In the city we tripped

Best: "The sky it was gold, it was rose / I was taking sips of it through my nose." I do like the way he delivers that. Also when he starts freaking out: "I feel myself heavy on the ground / I'm scared, I'm not coming down" - great bookends for the song really, this whole tale of the high and the comedown. I doubt this could have been a #1 if he were pronouncing words correctly and people could easily understand what he was singing about.

The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling

also used to hear this as "energy feeling" and i have no idea if the real lyric is better/worse/more lol

I don't think these are the most reliable set of lyrics, pretty sure it is ovation and not ovulation

(but I voted for it anyway on the basis of it being written as 'ovulation' because if that were the lyric it would be the worst line)

his girl wears underwear around her belly? that is some gut.

longer:

And yet half of the song refers to consuming hard drugs.

musically it sounds like christian rock. clean production, uptempo but not too fast, only just slightly overdriven guitars, sickeningly ingratiating chorus. i imagine the singer being this guy with a buzzcut and sandals with velcro on them, a youthgroup leader who's down with the kids and wants to give them a positive message but still have some fun, woo!

also, hardcore meth user

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

GET THOSE VOTES IN PEOPLE

Went for "in the city we tripped."

I thought this would be a poll about Hashim's "Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)"

this was the first cd i bought as a kid (i was in fourth grade) and i listened to it over and over again while staying up all night with my best friend longing for girls. the other cd we did that with around the same time was "what's the story (morning glory)" and this has held up far better.

i still think this song is incredibly good, actually, lyrics and everything. i know some peeps probably already got all nostalgia-luv on 3EB on another thread, but w/e.

voted for "slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress"

a good line in the context of the song, but how do panties slide up around the belly? or is he referring to the dress? either way, confusing.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

solid results imo
