THT´S ALL MY COMMENT :)
HUGS & KISSES FORM LIMA-PERU
Dear Steve,
your song is creative but is there really a "Deter" on the yankees, did they over pay him too? And i thought that Boone had hurt his knee and couldn't play? If you think that you yankees are going to win this year and you bet all of you mony on it you sboulk keep up with the music bisinsees becuase it is the only way you will make any money!!! And maby think of something more origional.
E BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD hey ya is da best song eeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

wat da fuck are some people on about !!!!!!!!! hehe ...

i think you r soooo cool im your best fan. hey some people just write any old crap................................ ok thats kinda like meeeeeee hehe luv ya XHX XxXxXxXxXxXxX



U rock man! best song to come down the pike in oh at least a year or so When this guy says "oh you've think you got it but got it just dont get it till theres nothing at all" he is talking about clueless and empty people. When he tries to explain himself he gives up by saying "you dont want to hear me you just want to dance."

So what he is saying is that everybody who is drawn in by the catchy beat is oblivious to themselves and controlled by the pop-culture.

He's making money off the people he's insulting.

i don't see it that way, Clay.

the first passage you quoted is talking about relationships, it goes along with the theme of the whole song, from the perspective 'relationships don't work, but we we can have sex in my caddy'. it's part of a greater theme in the album, the repeated "ice cold" -- and the perspective is jaded, but still ambivalent.

incurable romantic, trying to get cured, and laid too.

'you don't want to hear me you just want to dance' -- would be addressed to people out there falling in love, or hoping to -- and he's there telling them, it's hopeless, it's not going to work out,
"If what they say is 'nothing is forever,'
Then what makes
...
Love the exception?"

(note: he's only trying to convince himself, you know. he doesn't believe a word of it, but he's been hurt to the point that he has to put up this Ice Cold front.)




an angry red socks fan the yankees are goin to bet the red socks cause the red socks got a curs the bonbeno cures and THEY SUCK!!
ITS TRUE SO GO BRING UR FAT SELF TO ANOTHER WEBSITE WHERE THEY THINK REDSOCKS ARE GOOD
insanity is interesting. your video is tigh U ALL DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU R TALKIN ABOU' OUTKST IS THE BEST BAND EVER AND I LOVE THIS SONG

OH YA FUCK U ALL HATUS
I luv dis song!!! awesome!!! Luv it, Luv it, Luv It!!! I AGREE WITH FEILX_666. HE IS SOO RIGHT.. one of the things i missed most about my lyrics site when it was offline, was visiting these crazy hey ya comments from time to time. i swear to you this song has subliminal insanity triggers.

and you are?

think inside the box:

there are rules: first, since all plain text ever did to anyone was fill up space, it's all we allow in this comment box. you can try to put code in, but we will take it away, so why bother?

second, we require that you are human, and regretfully must ask for proof:
