Song of the Week, Sept 13

Its back! My short lived weekly feature shared with Great Big Pants: song of the week. Not that anyone cares that it was gone for so long or anything. This weeks song is:
Burning Pile: Mother Mother
First time I heard this song i couldnt help but smile. Its one of those songs that can sort of make you feel just a little better about any given situation. Not to mention that Mother Mother is one of the coolest new bands on the scene at the moment. They are clever, just a little bit epic, fun,and very accessible I find. This song is sort of about saying fuck it all, and not letting your problems and issues take a hike. Which is something we all need to hear about from time to time. Lyrics:
All my style, all my grace,
all I try to save my face,
all my guts try to spill,
all my holes try to fill.
All my money been a long time spent,
On my drugs, on my rent.
On my saving philosophy, it goes:
one in the bank and the rest for me.

It goes:
All my troubles on a burning pile,
all lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I change my aim,
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates?
Oohh.. oh oh oh..
oh.. oh oh oh ohhh..
Ohh oh oh..
My my my lonely maid,
....
Renaissance man,
sailed away and he never came back again.

All my troubles on a burning pile,
all lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I change my aim,
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates?
Ooohh.. ooohhh...
oohhh you won't be ...
I said all your troubles,
you don't need a thing.

All my troubles on a burning pile,
all lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I change my aim,
Throw my troubles at the world again!

It goes:
All my troubles on a burning pile,
all lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I take my turn,
to burn and burn, and burn and buurrnn..
Bahh bah bah bahh..

at least thats my take on the song.
