I gotta say, I hated "Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet" when I first heard it, but now I can't get it out of my head. And that is one that it's really good to have the lyrics for.
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm sure the critics will have the same stuff to say as they always do, but really I think this is some of their best work. It's eclectic and all over the place in some ways (seriously, only FOB would put songs like She's My Winona, What a Catch Donnie, and 20 Dollar Nose Bleed on the same album), but there's a lot of really interesting stuff happening, in a way that distances them from "punk-pop" and into a category all their own.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oops- for some reason I mixed up "Headfirst Slide" and America's Suitehearts!?! Headfirst slide is my favorite, because I like the thing Patrick's voice does when it goes down low. Now, if I could only figure out what he is saying... "Sniffing model glue again?"

Yeah, that's what I hear, Sophia.
Mr. Sandman showing his beam / when he walks into the room walls lean in to listen / surf out blank waves, click back and forth / like old headlights, sniffing model glue again

Thanks Ailleann. It seems like everyone else online thinks it is "sniffing bottled you again" which is a) not what I hear b) kinda gross and c) makes no sense.

Well, it might be kind of gross, but "sniffing bottled you again" totally makes sense in a Pete Wentz metaphor-laden world.
(And now I'm wondering if that's what it actually is...)

Because books.
That actually does sound sensible in a Pete's brain way.
So many of the songs (in general) are so fast and so densely packed with lyrics, I have a really hard time without looking them up. But I'm always thrilled when I do, because I think Pete's lyrics are usually sharp and clever and pretty raw.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's sniffing bottled you again. Like when you go by the fragrance counter and sniff the cologne your ex wore and it's a sense memory overload and really creepy but you still do it.
Fall Out Boy is a group that I really really want to have the liner notes for. The words go by so quickly sometimes, and there's a lot of metaphorical gold in them thar tracks.
Wrod. And meta-fur.

Still haven't listened to the new FOB. But the Repo! The Genetic Opera soundtrack is very fun. It's got some damn catchy tunes, and it's always nice to hear ASH sing.
