Day 217 - A song that one of your favorite authors likes

Thnks fr th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy


It was hard to find this sort of info, but I found out that Stephen King likes Fall Out Boy…


This song is about a couple who have lost romantic interest in each other, but still get together for casual sex, which is fulfilling only on a superficial level.

The title contains no vowels and looks like a text message, indicating the shallow relationship. Fall Out Boy dropped the vowels as a joke when their record company requested shorter song titles.
The line, “He tastes like you, only sweeter” comes from the 2004 movie Closer. Panic At The Disco, who were signed to Fall Out Boy bass player Pete Wentz’ Decaydance record label, used references to Closer in 2 of their songs: “But It’s Better If You Do” and “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off.” (thanks, bestkeptsecret - Brisvegas)
Babyface produced this track as well as another song on the album, “I’m Like a Lawyer with the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You).” Babyface is known for his R&B production and songwriting. Artists he’s worked with include TLC, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houton and Boyz II Men. Heartache is a common theme in his work. (Songfacts.com)


Lyrics:

I’m gonna make you bend and break
(It sent you to me without wings)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case God doesn’t show
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)
And I want these words to make things right
But it’s the wrongs that make the words come to life
“Who does he think he is?”
If that’s the worst you got
Better put your fingers back to the keys

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories 
even though they weren’t so great
“He tastes like you only sweeter”
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
“He, he tastes like you only sweeter”

Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball 
It’s always cloudy except for (except for)
When you look into the past (look into the past)
One night stand (one night stand off)

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories 
even though they weren’t so great
“He tastes like you only sweeter”
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
“He, he tastes like you only sweeter”

They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I’m a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories 
even though they weren’t so great
“He tastes like you only sweeter”
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
“He, he tastes like you only sweeter”

One night and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories 
even though they weren’t so great
“He tastes like you only sweeter”
One night, yeah, and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
“He, he tastes like you only sweeter”
