Cleaver Meals (Lyrics)
They aren't desperate for love and affection
They're desperate for you
And as they sit out there all sly and sure
Does anyone feel as they do
I'm quite sure we'll find one another
In a place better than this
A time filled with us
And we'll send up our shooting stars and comets
And we'll make our little gestures
We'll make our little comments
This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals
And who I am
Has benefitted from
All my cleverly planned meals
I'm stripped and vital
And I see rules that almost fit
And if I voice my opinion
Will you stay and sit
And as I stand here screaming in despair
I say yes this is my life
And yes you should care
This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals
And who I am has benefitted from
All my cleverly planned meals
Hardly happy at all
And I'm ready to take the fall
We pay for the stupid things
We've done where I come from
Can you sit through this
Or is it gonna be too deep
Will you ever use common sense
I hear it comes pretty cheap
And if I speak more clearly
If I make more sense
Will you shut your mouth
You won't come across so dense
Close your eyes and then you free your mind
You're free to fly
They're desperate for you
And as they sit out there all sly and sure
Does anyone feel as they do
I'm quite sure we'll find one another
In a place better than this
A time filled with us
And we'll send up our shooting stars and comets
And we'll make our little gestures
We'll make our little comments
This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals
And who I am
Has benefitted from
All my cleverly planned meals
I'm stripped and vital
And I see rules that almost fit
And if I voice my opinion
Will you stay and sit
And as I stand here screaming in despair
I say yes this is my life
And yes you should care
This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals
And who I am has benefitted from
All my cleverly planned meals
Hardly happy at all
And I'm ready to take the fall
We pay for the stupid things
We've done where I come from
Can you sit through this
Or is it gonna be too deep
Will you ever use common sense
I hear it comes pretty cheap
And if I speak more clearly
If I make more sense
Will you shut your mouth
You won't come across so dense
Close your eyes and then you free your mind
You're free to fly
Short Song Analysis
This song is about trying to talk to people about things that you already know that they do not understand. Some people on this planet are just to ignorant to accept everyone and you can't save everyone, but songs get to people easier then just talking to them does and i think this song does a good job of kind of showing a good angle of this ongoing argument. "They aren't desperate for love and affection, they are desperate for you" is a line that is talking about how some people do not understand homosexuality and they just jump to the conclusion that gay people are desperate or not good looking enough to get someone of the opposite gender to date, but the real problem is that what is actually being asked for is acceptance, gay people don't just turn straight and this song is asking for acceptance, is that so hard? The lines "I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit and if I voice my opinion will you stay and sit and as I stand here screaming in despair I say yes this is my life and yes you should care" show exactly how frustrating this argument can be with people, especially the ones who just sit in the middle and say that they do not care because it does not affect them. People never listen because they think that things are too dramatic, though in this situation many lives are being ruined by the attitude of people in america and these lines show the reluctance in the other people areound them to actually listen to what is needed to be said "Can you sit through this or is it gonna be too deep will you ever use common sense I hear it comes pretty cheap". The song is amazing, but its sad things like this even need to be written.

Have They Effected Rock nd Roll At All?
They have not yet been able to do so because their fan base is small-ish. They have gotten really popular in canada and changed the lives of many teenage people. These girls are original and beautiful. I really think that if you give it just a little more time they will exploede into a really big deal, they have good meanings behind their songs, they are diverse and people should love them.
