Jimmy explains the meaning behind the songs on Precious

 

 

Kill The Band

The sky was screaming I lost you
I tried, but me what could I do?
Get out the bad undo your head until you don't look like a junky
Get out the bad undo your head think about what you say

Kill the band
Kill the band

I was caught dreaming of wealth and
What I was taught was creeping in again
They get ahead you get so mad
Why do you care?
It's only money
Get out of bad undo your head think about what you say

Kill the band, kill the band
Kill the band, kill the band

If then it rains, I'll cover your eyes
The past has a way of running our lives
Learning to say the words that we hide

Kill the band, kill the band
Kill the band, kill the band

Pressure's coming
I feel it coming down
Cancer's coming, I feel it coming

Realize
Note:  Developed from the chorus of an unreleased song called "Until the Blood Runs Out".
Second single released off Precious.

Anytime, anyplace, come around, go away
There's a sound then it fades, turn it down make it stay
If I could get off the phone I'd deliver the song
But too much is in my way
Like a dog to the bone, a leash to the throne, a laugh within my face

Taking too much air, taking too much air
This is how you care
When you realize you're down, when you realize you're
Down on the floor with the radio song, you're crawling, you're crawling
Down on the floor with the radio song, Oh

We spent our days in a coma, believing it's over
Outside there's too much hate
Tried to stay on the ball believe in it all, but it bounces in our face
Now we're beginning to crawl, by leaving it all, there's nothing in our way

Breathing out again, breathing out again
When it seems like you can, then you realize you're down
You realize you're
Down on the floor with the radio song, you're crawling, you're crawling
Down on the floor with the radio song, Oh

When you realize you're down, when you realize you're down
From taking too much air, taking oxygen
We all want love and we all fall
Down on the floor with the radio song, you're crawling, you're crawling
Down on the floor with the radio song, Oh

Leaves
Note:  First single from Precious.

I see the morning paper, I crumble it to bits
'Cause it's bad again
How long will it take us?
To find out that this is it
Until it's bad again?

The leaves are falling
The leaves are falling
Turning over and over the leaves are turning over
Getting colder and colder, the leaves are turning over

Why do so many races, fight while our children play?
Will we melt away? Try and they'll take your best friend
Try and they'll take your head
For caring about, for caring about

The leaves are falling
The leaves are falling
Turning over and over the leaves are turning over
Getting colder and colder, the leaves are turning over
Will we care again?
Will we care again?

Everyone passes on and believes in what they want to
If we heal, we can feel something that we didn't want to
There's a sign for the time, you can read it if you want to
Or everyone will become, numb

They're falling
They're falling
They're falling
They're falling
They're falling

Places

Past love died, as she cried, I saw beauty
Girls wished for boys and scared them away
As I saw beauty

Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright

Scared and cold, now you're old
Time thaws, but you'll break
There's a hole in my soul
How much more will it take?

Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright

I saw, I saw
And it moved all of the gray aside

I saw, I saw
It moved all of the gray aside

Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright

Outside

Oh no feels like I'm falling
Away from myself
Outside feels like it's calling
Calling...

In A Minute

I can be just like the others
I can act just like your brother
I can dress just like your mother
I can be but I don't bother

In a minute, in a minute
I can be these things
In a minute, don't you get it
Don't you get it

If I was to be as cruel as I could be
Would you like to still give all of your life to me?

In a minute, in a minute
I can be these things
In a minute, don't you get it
Don't you get it

I can be just like the others
I can act just like your brother
I can dress just like your mother
I can be but I don't bother

In a minute, in a minute
I can be these things
In a minute, don't you get it
Don't you get it

In a minute...

Femme Fatale
[The Velvet Underground]

Here she comes, you better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two, it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, down

Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true

Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

Broken

It's not your fault
They pushed you too far
And all of your thoughts
Came apart within so
They pushed you too hard
They pushed you too far
Fate comes, and fate heals all the worst of our debts

There's a broken man inside
There's a broken man inside

He'll break
He'll break
He'll break
He'll break
He'll break
He'll break

The styles are gonna change
Time will go away
The styles are gonna change, but I won't
If I could find a way
I'd suffer all of your pain
Time will go away, but I won't

Chapter 2 (money)

They pissed around me and tried to drown me
They wake in panic to a poisoned attic
They wake in panic
The pigs around me will try to drown me

When they teach us, they lead us to doom
Oh mother don’t leave us to bloom
Holy father those kids have been through
The deepest and the meanest of truths

They preached wrong habits and brought us havoc
With their hands around me they fall on one knee to pray
We can’t help finally, we can’t tell any
By the time they find me I’ll be frying

When they teach us, they lead us to doom
Oh mother don’t leave us to bloom
Holy father those kids have been through
The deepest and the meanest of truths

I just fear one day we’ll all lose sight of the things that we have in life
That money just can’t buy
And we’ll try, day after day we’ll lose our pride, until we’re left
With nothing but their Garbage, Garbage

When they teach us they lead us to doom
Oh mother don’t leave us to bloom
Holy father those kids have been through
The deepest and the meanest

Like fire in the wind it comes around, like dirt in your soul it’s gonna come ground
Oh it’s gonna come around, I’m gonna be there to pull you down, Oh, OH

If Flowers Turn

Flowers for a girl who was placed in the dark
Flowers from a world that had taken her heart
They looked so pretty, but the blood stained them

If Flowers turn
Throw them away, Throw them away
If Flowers turn
Throw them away, Throw them away

Pull the braids untie all of the pain from your hair
Don’t let the buzzards try or they’ll take what’s been there
Signs appear, and the worst you fear

If Flowers turn
Throw them away, Throw them away
If Flowers turn
Throw them away, Throw them away

Don’t look to the dark all of the pain that you want is here
Uncover your heart so the feeling can disappear
The worst winds are calling they need you they want you
I’m in the dark and I can’t see a thing for miles

If Flowers turn
Throw them away, Throw them away
If Flowers turn
Throw them away, Throw them away
I know I’ve seen the pain in your heart

Because I died for us

Disaster In A Halo

Lately I’ve been thinking about what you said
Time is growing old and I’m getting colder
Hunger’s just a pain that won’t be fed
I’ll be working for the ghost until I’m dead and done
Over and done, over

Disaster in a halo

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters

Somewhere there’s a girl with thoughts of him
She makes wishes in a well then fears them caving in on her, around, on her

Disaster in a halo

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters

Cause in the well plans will come and plans will go undone
I know, I know
And you can’t tell, I will come and I will do I know, I know
But why would I?
But why would I?

Disaster in a halo

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters

Red Colored Stars

I’ll open my eyes, and a new day will come
I’ll see Red Colored Stars in the sky and in your eyes
Fast away the ugly, just one more bill to pay
All the past will be moon dust that flies, from where we lay
I can feel it, I can feel

Red Colored Stars in my hands are the stones that were cast
They left us with scars, reminders

There’s a wall in my way, there’s a war in my way
Tales of love that consumed me
Hide from the fight
I’m a slave in my head, I’m awake in my bed
Tell the worms they can soon eat tonight, eat tonight
I can feel

Red Colored Stars in my hands are the stones that were cast
They left us with scars, reminders
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

Sleep, there’s a wall in my way
There’s a war in my way
Sleep, there’s a wall in my way
There’s a war in my head

Start our cars and be around, there’s room enough for you and me
When the sun comes up, we’ll leave them down and stare into the dream

Red Colored Stars in my hands are the stones that were cast
They left us with scars, reminders

I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
