Shane Says
Shane's Guidance: A Rock Odyssey of Love and Rebellion
Lyrics
I know you're gonna think I'm an asshole, it's my fault
I acknowledge that you may view me negatively, and I take responsibility for it.
Everyone around here looks angry, don't be
People in this environment seem upset, but there's no need for you to feel the same way.
Mamma said that Rock n Roll girls would be easy
Mother warned that relationships with Rock n Roll girls might be uncomplicated.
But I'm only looking for someone who can please me
I am searching for someone who can satisfy me emotionally or physically.
Stay if you want but just don't stay for too long
You can stay, but don't linger for too long.
Baby if you want i'll be your tock-ticking time-bomb
If you desire, I can be an unpredictable and potentially explosive force in your life.
Sit there telling me all your thoughts on fashion
You discuss fashion while I'm engrossed in listening to Bell and Sebastian.
And I'll be busy listening to Bell and Sebastian, yeah
Expressing a preference for different interests, emphasizing individuality.
Cos I do what Shane says
I follow Shane's instructions or advice.
And if you come around
If you visit, we'll be in a private space engaging intimately.
We'll be in the back room getting down
Continuation of the previous line, emphasizing a private encounter.
And if you come around
If you visit again, it's time to make a decision to either escape or commit.
It's time to run or maybe settle down
Reiterating the need to follow Shane's guidance in making choices.
And do what Shane Says
I act in accordance with Shane's directives.
Can I get a lift with you around to Shane's place
Asking for a ride to Shane's place while acknowledging a tendency to take on challenges.
I'll bite off way more than I can chew
I tend to take on difficult situations willingly.
Such a hard case
Acceptance of a challenging personality but setting boundaries.
Fine with me mate just keep your hands off my t-shirt
Request to keep a distance, protecting personal belongings.
Don't worry about me, I'm just digging for new dirt
Assuring others not to worry, while actively seeking new information or experiences.
We'll be clapping our hands keeping up with the rhythm
Celebrating and enjoying the rhythm, possibly metaphorical for enjoying life.
While we sail away to the Degobah System
A playful reference to the fictional Degobah System, suggesting an escape or journey.
Speaking in tongues because we're filled with the spirit
Speaking in a mysterious or spiritual manner due to being inspired or motivated.
I tick and I tock, just one more then I'll stop I swear it
A commitment to perform one more action before stopping, possibly indicating determination.
And I'll do what Shane Says
Reiterating the commitment to follow Shane's instructions.
And if you come around
Continuation of the theme of intimate activities in a private space.
We'll be in the back room getting down
Reiteration of engaging intimately when someone visits.
And if you come around
The decision to either escape or commit when someone visits again.
It's time to run or maybe settle down
Emphasizing the importance of following Shane's guidance in making choices.
And do what Shane Says
Reiteration of acting in accordance with Shane's directives.
Shane says it's alright if you wanna stay all night
Shane permits staying all night until morning, suggesting a laid-back attitude.
Until the sun comes up, and brings the morning light
Emphasizing the freedom to enjoy the night until morning under Shane's approval.
Shane told me that he likes your friend
Shane expresses interest in a friend, possibly indicating a social dynamic.
And that he'd like to hang around again
Expressing Shane's desire to spend time together in the future.
In a couple of days
Planning to meet again in a few days, following Shane's suggestion.
That's what Shane says
Reiterating actions or decisions based on Shane's advice.
And if you come around
Reiteration of engaging intimately in a private space when someone visits.
We'll be in the back room getting down
Continuation of the theme of private encounters when someone visits.
And if you come around
The decision to either escape or commit when someone visits again.
It's time to run or maybe settle down
Emphasizing the importance of following Shane's guidance in making choices.
And do what Shane Says
Reiteration of acting in accordance with Shane's directives.
