Title: I Like Coffee

Take a look at the Discography and Andy explains the meaning behind the songs on Babyteeth. A for the rest, I dunno…I know Potato Junkie is about growing up in Northern Ireland (I should know, I live there).

It seems that Therapy?’s early stuff is more cryptic lyrically speaking. But here’s a few i’ve thougth about for myself:

‘Screamager’ is simple to work out (i always thougth the word was a pun on ‘teenager’) is probably about teen angst (as is ‘Femtex’ I imagine).

‘Die Laughing’ is about taking lots of drink and drugs and having a good time.

Alot of early stuff was about serial killers ‘fantasy Bay’ and ‘Trigger Inside’ while ‘Skinning Pit’ and ‘Gone’ are about abuse.

A month off means with the album release he’ll be busy again. So no time for practicing new songs for upcoming live performances (upcoming like in the foreseeable future of October perhaps)?

well, some of my thoughts based on things T? said or my free interpretation:

Opal Mantra: This is introduced as a “fucked up love song” by Andy on one of the bootlegs I have, so I suppose it is sort of a “nice” way to say the last goodbye to someone.

Teethgrinder: About taking speed.

Totally Random Man: About having not full control over your thoughts, feeling dearranged, in a mess (totally my interpretation, it`s dedicated to Fyfe on one of the bootlegs though, hmmm..)

Neck Freak, Evil Elvis, : “Women can really be like Kryponite to Men” :D

Disgracelands: “Things are fucked up in the U.S.”

That`s it for now.

There’s a few bitter’n’twisted relationship refs scattered around, but a few more lyrically positive ones - Loose, Church of Noise and If It Kills Me spring to mind. Most of Suicide Pact seems fairly wrapped in meaning, with Ten Year Plan being about other bands.

Die Laughing I always associate with Heroine specifically. Fuel was added to my thinking as on the DVD it’s dedicated to Kurt Cobain and Phil Lynott…I can’t remember who else it’s dedicated to but that’s probably end up proving me wrong anyway (Frank Carson being a prime example :rolleyes: )
