| Actually, I love the way this song works... "The don't, don't let's start" comes from a really early They Might Be Giants single (Don't Let's Start) while the "Kickstart my rock'n'roll heart" is a paraphrase of "Kickstart my Heart" by Motley Crue, from the Dr Feelgood album. For me, this song is about the inextricable link to what you feel and what you're listening to when you feel it, and the way we reach out to music for that connection. "I want to always feel like part of this was mine" seems to beautifully illustrate how we internalise our experience of music into something we can own -- like, just about everybody my age (29) has their special Violent Femmes moment, or their special Cure moment -- and probably somewhere secret, the Motley Crue moment... yeah well, I was a kid in love, OK... "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away" seemed incredibly relevant to my life at the time and I can still remember every word of it. IN SHORT, this is more than a rock'n'roll lovesong, this is a lovesong to rock'n'roll. | |

| This song is about living life with no regrets. This guy realizes he hasn't been living his life to the fullest so he decides to start, even at 25. There are two references to other songs from the 60's and the 80's, tying in with the line, "Now all I need is just to hear a song I know" "Crimson and clover, over and over" is a line from a song by Tommy James and the Shondells. "Our house in the middle of the street" is a line from the song Our House by Madness. | |

| the whole "crimson and clover" bit down to "kick start my rock n rolling heart" are all lyrics from songs that the band like. i know "our house in the middle of our street" is from the song "our house" by madness, but i don't know which songs the other lines are taken from. any ideas? | |

| this song is awesome. i suppose this song could be about a girl, or at least be taken that way at first but after really hearing his words i think he's singing about music. he says thigns that sound like he was feeling like watsing his time by not doing the music he likes. when he says "i'm on my feet, i'm on the floor i'm good to go" i think he's saying hes just ready to go do something. a show or what have you. then he says "i wanna always feel like part of this was mine. i wanna fall in love tonight" and i think this means he wants to make his own mark on music and he's just saying he's in love with music and the music the band makes. someone at the top said the bridge was taken from songs they liked... so if you think about that and not just think of those lyrics as love poetry for a girl then it makes even more sense for them to be serenading the bands of rock 'n' roll. i couldn't tell all of the songs... if all of the lyrics in that part ARE covered but i know there's "our house" by madness and "crimson and clover" by a band i forgot. i think it's tommy james and the shondells. anyway, that's what i think the song's about. | |

| this song is so amazing....i love listening to it over and over, and yes its true that davey is singing the back up lyrics at the end part, jim adkins layers his voice with it...to me this song is all about how important music is to you and how it can motivate you to do something, especially stomething like declaring your love for someone like when he says: "I'm on my feet, i'm on the floor, i'm good to go. and all I need is just to hear a song i know.i wanna always feel like part of this was mine i wanna fall in love tonight. " music is the ultimate conscience in life | |
