i haven't really paid attention to the lyrics for idea of you, but i like the lyrics for sister. i think they're up to par as far as dave lyrics go.

the idea of you lyrics are strange. he is singing from the perspective of a pedophile it seems. much like in hello again where he is singing from the perspective of a serial killer.

I don't find it so much as thinking like a pedophile rather than remembering back to childhood crushes and kind of comparing that to a mature relationship. I'd have to reread the lyrics, but I think at least that's what i think when i listen to the song.

Yeah that could be it to, who knows. Aside from the chorus and the "not gonna pull your hair" line the song is unfinished lyrically.

Yeh i could see it either way. Appfro it's on the fourth page of this http://www.dmbtabs.com/boards/viewtopic ... n&start=45

EDIT: nevermind takes you right to it.

after reading the lyrics that are in the idea of you thread and listening along w/ the alpine valley version of idea of you, you are completely right. the chorus and not gonna pull your hair were pretty much the only similar lyrics.

Alpine's a good version, but I think the first time they played it (6.2) is still my favorite.

Hahahaha, i doubt IoY is about pedophelia. The "i'm not gonna pull your hair" and "i'm not gonna kick you in your shins" is clearly about little kids/girls are icky but kind of cool/i hit you because i like you sort of things.

Yeah, i agree with Sister having good lyrics.

BTW, anybody know where i could get a good version of Minarets besides L@LC?

If you have listened to the later versions I don't see what else it could be about.

Some 6.17 lyrics:
"sitting on my front stairs
waiting for the
hoping she walks this way again
walking home from that place
but you know I'm too old to be sitting here
but she got me feeling like a kid
but I'm an old, old man compared to her
so I'm not going to pull her hair

What if she knew what I was thinking?
I'll bet that girl wouldn't even understand
This was back in the king and queens
she'd be mine and I be her mid way to fall
and it'd be ok, you know
but I'm not going to be that
'cause I'm not going to kick her in the shins,
you know

whoa then whoa then, running,
he's ok, crazy, violent, way inside
know this, lord
know then, what will,
I know that I must stop thinking, baby "

Yeah that is definately the best one.

Wow. I really hope Dave decides to stick with similar lyrics from the 6.2 version. I really like that one line in the first verse when he says "Know that I've lost my way." Just the way he sings it kinda gives me chills every now and then.

[Appfro]

hmmmm. i still don't see it as a girl young enough for pedophilia. dave isn't 20. he could very well be talking about an 18 or 19 beautiful girl. just read the lyrics and think about an 19 year old girl. the only thing that squashes my theory is the pull your hair kick your shins part. i bet after the cd is released someone will ask him about it.

who thinks during the btcs sessions before last stop, that when boyd talks on the phone. he got a call while recording or something, and you know he says, "hey...I can't talk right now"
and stefan says, "we should put that in the recording!" and then dave mockingly says back "ya, how about we throw a 'Hello?!' in there too you fucker"
