Something Else
Unrequited Desires: Sid Vicious's 'Something Else' Reveals Yearning and Dreams
Lyrics
Look at that
Expressing a moment of attention or admiration
Here she comes
Acknowledging the arrival of a particular person
Here comes that girl again
Referring to a recurring girl who is approaching
One of the cutest since I don't know when
Complimenting the girl's attractiveness, timeless cuteness
But she don't notice me when I pass
Noticing that the girl doesn't acknowledge the speaker
She goes with all the guys from outta my class
Observing that the girl is dating guys from a different social class
But that can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
Asserting that this fact won't hinder the speaker's thoughts
She's sure fine lookin', man,
Expressing admiration for the girl's good looks
She's something else
Summing up the girl as "something else," extraordinary
Look at that 'cross the street
Directing attention to a car across the street
There's a car built just for me
Believing that the car is perfect for the speaker
To own a car would be a luxury
Expressing a desire for a car, acknowledging it as a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
Current inability to afford the gas for the car
A brand new convertible is out of my class
Realizing that a brand new convertible is beyond the speaker's reach
But that can't stop me from thinkin' to myself that car's fine lookin', man,
Despite limitations, appreciating the car's attractiveness
It's something else
Describing the car as "something else," exceptional
Hey, look at that
Expressing anticipation for something noteworthy
Just wait and see
Encouraging others to wait and witness
Worked hard and saved my dough
Having worked hard and saved money
I buy that car and then I roll up with joe
Planning to buy the car and share experiences with someone named Joe
Get me that girl and we go ridin' around
Imagining cruising with a girl in the newly acquired car
We look real sharp with the wide top down
Visualizing a stylish appearance with the convertible top down
I keep on dreamin' and thinkin' to myself
Continuing to dream about future achievements
When it all comes true, man,
When dreams come true, expressing awe and excitement
Wow, that's something else
Labeling the fulfilled dreams as "something else," extraordinary
Hey, look at that
Highlighting another interesting sight
What's all this?
Expressing surprise or curiosity about the situation
Never thought I'd do this before
Admitting to unexpected actions, knocking on someone's door
But here I'm a-knockin' on her door
Explaining the current presence at the girl's doorstep
My car's out front
Confirming ownership of a car parked outside
And it's all mine
Stating the car model (a '41) as opposed to a '59
It's a '41 job not a '59
Achieving possession of the girl and the desired car
I got that girl and I'm thinkin' to myself she's sure fine lookin', man,
Reiterating the girl's exceptional looks
Wow, she's something else
Affirming that the girl is "something else," remarkable
