Lyrics-
I never thought I was the only one
I never had a setting in the sun
My dancing baby was a sleeping gun
You had a hand and it was loneliness
When all I wanted was you
I never thought I was a special case
I mean I know I'm cruel in many ways
It's just I love you like an only son
And if I had a man in Hollywood
And all I wanted was you
And all you wanted was me
And all I wanted was you
And all you wanted was me
And all I wanted was you
And all you wanted was me
#STRFKR #Florida #Starfucker

I recently listened to an Alan Watts lecture and recalled this song. I must have listened to every drive home from work back 14~ years ago. Gem in a swamp of pop. How much of a wiggle is a wiggle?

[@demolay8]

You are something the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the entire ocean is doing.

It's a quote from the spoken word in the song

I never thought I was an only one I never had a setting in the sun A dancing baby was a sleeping gun You had a hand and it was loneliness And all I wanted was you, oh, you "The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real deep down you is the whole universe." "You are something that the whole universe is doing, in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing." I never thought I was a special case I may not know how good I'm anyways It's just I love you like an only son And if I hadn't been in Hollywood When all I wanted was you And all you wanted was me And all I wanted was you And all you wanted was me

"This world is a great wiggly affair. The clouds are wiggling. The waters are wiggling. The clouds are wiggling, bouncing. People- but people are always trying to straighten things out. You see we live in a rectangular box, all the time; everything is straightened out. Wherever you look around in nature you find things often straightened out. They're always trying to put things in boxes. Those boxes are classified. Words are made from some boxes. But the real world is wiggly, if you can believe it. Now when you have a wiggle like a cloud, how much wiggle is a wiggle? Well you have to draw the line somewhere, so people come to sorts of agreements about, ah, how much wiggle is a wiggle, that is to say a thing. One wiggle- always reduce one wiggle to a sub wiggles. Or see it as a subordinate wiggle of a bigger wiggle. But there's no fixed rule about it."

@@MichaelLMe Thanks, bro!!

[@AnthonyVargas-kt7ht]

It's like a bad joke because of those who miss it. The real deep down me is the whole universe, which includes everyone else. All I wanted was you, but really what you wanted was yourself. We are all together. Duality exists in the convention of language. Its almost like the tones are mocking those who don't quite grasp it. Thank you Josh H. Josh please let me know your take on what I have said if you can. I would really appreciate it.

When all I wanted was you And all you wanted was me And all I wanted was you And all you wanted was me Dang this song brings so many good memories, 11 years later and still blasting this shit like it was my first time hearing it.

[@toastersXftwX]

One of the best songs ever.

[@misterpoliwrath9211]

I downloaded this song accidentally while searching some other song back in 2010. Still today this song is in my hit list.

[@machine_elf4361]

Love the Alan Watts at the end. Great song great band great album

[@ValleyMansonOfficial]

If you still listen to this, and remember when Brian Hugh Warner was Brian Hugh Werner (as he didn't want to be confused for another musician) then you know why I still listen to music this ✌🏻

[@Eazy_B_]

might be my new favorite artist every song is goood

[@zoonido8147]

this album is great

[@brya9681]

I know its super cliche to say this on a song on KZbin but damn this song reminds me of a friend that passed away years ago, weird how it's almost been an entire decade.

can someone explain to me wat `a dancing baby was a sleeping gun' means?

Babies are innocent and happy but when they wake up to the real world they become adults who are dangerous and killers. Idk something like that I'm guessing 😂
