      I feel a lot of anxiety and indecisiveness in this music. That's how I felt a lot 11 years ago.

  • @jamesbond-ew3sl
    @jamesbond-ew3sl 11 років тому +6

    I used to love this song back in the day, brilliant lyrics.
    The song is about finding out he is going to be a dad, he's happy smoking weed, getting high and living a care-free life so he isn't sure it was a good idea ("I'm loving Mary Jane, flying with Lois Lane onboard a bullet train, don't know yet if I'm glad I came")
    He then comes to terms with it and realises he needs to change his ways so stops smoking weed, getting high and knows he has a responsability in life and is happy being a dad.

    I get this writer's block, it comes as quite a shock,
    And now i'm stuck between a hard place and the biggest rock,
    In my own head consumed. I sit back in my room,
    Its like the tapestries of life get tangled in the loom,
    I'm like a butterfly, caught in a hurricane,
    My pulse is quickening as my heart plays a new refrain
    Im lovin' Mary Jane, flyin' with Lois Lane,
    On board a bullet train
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Sometimes at night i think too much,
    About life and love and music and stuff
    I'm livin' in the past,
    My clocks an hour fast,
    Should really go and make a coffee but i can't be arsed,
    I've lost my mobile phone,
    You'll have to call my home,
    On second thoughts just leave a message when you hear the tone,
    My grimy windows show the early morning glow,
    Another day, another dollar in my one man show,
    Im lovin' Mary Jane, flyin' with Lois Lane,
    On board a bullet train
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
    I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
    But now i know i'm glad i-
    I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
    But now i know i'm glad i-
    I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
    But now i know i'm glad i-
    I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
    But now i know i'm glad i came

    Ive been looking for this song for 6 years! I first heard this song on pandora back in 2009 and forgot what station it was. I even used yahoo answers to find this song but the only answers I got were songs that wern't even close to this. Then one night at 2 pm, I'm listining to the Gorillaz station and this song pops out! I found it!!!

    don't how how can he be so chill. It makes me realise rap ain't sure not the problem... but people that sing it must be. This guy sing with his heart, and that's all it matters, however it would be rock, rap, jazz, whatever.
