She's In It For The Money (on Matthewgood.org Now)

Recommended Posts

Wow, this song is very good. I'll admit I didn't get overly excited after hearing A Single Explosion, but this is pretty good stuff. I never heard the bootleg from live performances, so I can't compare, but I really do enjoy it.

 

Also, it seems from comments on his blog, there may be one more track streamed in the coming days, and then there will more than likely no nothing for quite a while. I can't remember his exact wording, but it was something along the lines of streaming the whole album, but only closer to the release date, which could be "months" away...

Anton, I think it's

 

I'm in love with your pills (this one is the most debateable, but I'm pretty sure there's a soft "I'm" at the beginning)

Now I can get rid of myself

If all of this kills

Why am I so hard on myself?

In this town, when the sun goes down

You party, I pay the bills

In this room, I look around

At everything I've built

And it don't mean a thing

Ain't it terrible to think

 

She's in it for the money, you know, love don't cost a thing

Build your heart a diamond and it don't need no ring

It gets me lying sideways and everytime I sing it

She's in it for the money, you know, love don't mean a thing

She's in it for the money, you know, love don't mean a thing

 

Patty, shine a light down on me tonight

We're tired to charge and die but not take nothing (I'm 99% sure this is right)

Patty, shine a light down on me tonight

Down on me tonight

Straight down on me

Straight down on me

 

I'm in love with your pills

I tried to get rid of myself

A little red, a little blue

Climbed a wall (Climb the wall?)

How about you?

 

 

It don't mean a thing

She's in it for the money, you know love don't mean a thing

It gets me lying sideways and everytime I sing

She's in it for the money, you know, love don't mean a thing

She's in it for the money, you know, love don't mean a thing

 

I only made a few tiny changes, and they're all pretty much debateable, so good ear Anton. I am pretty sure that it's "if all of this kills" though.

Good effort on the pun, execution was a little shoddy. ;)

 

Personally, there's just something more striking about A Single Explosion. It wells up all sorts of different emotions in the span of 3 minutes, everything from joy and smiling to putting me on the verge of tears, whereas She's In it for the Money just gets me thinking "wow, that sucks, what a bitch. I hope I never have to dedicate this song to anyone." It definitely makes me feel for Matt and what he went through, but because I've never gone through a similar experience, it's just kind of cut and dry, while Explosion I can relate to the feeling of longing and seeing people in my dreams that I haven't forgotten about, that I care for a lot and, even just to say hi, would love to talk to them again.

hmm. yeah, my emotions aren't welling up all crazy, it just made me want to bounce around and she's in it for the money made me want to take a nap...

 

also, do people still dedicate songs to other people?

I agree with you guys. With A Single Explosion, after I finally stopped crying, I re-examined my life and learned a lot about myself by seeing my personal history through the eyes of Matthew God [sic]. I... finally understand.

I feel the same way about Slushie's music.

Oddly enough, that's what my sister said.
