you don't understand ..man....miami....it's the song for Elvis ( The BIG ONE ) ...by Elvis and with Elvis ......It's his song ... wanna cigar ??..........this forum went mad .....eeek.....
I must not understand then...
I despise the song. Worst song they've ever written, IMO...
Lyrics:
Weather 'round here choppin' and changin' (not an enjoyable line...but it's ok)
Surgery in the air (WTF!?)
Print shirts and southern accents (fine)
Cigars and big hair. (fine as well)
We got the wheels, petrol's cheap (first of all if you're in Miami it's called gasoline)
We only went there for a week (it took you a week to write this?)
Got the sun, got the sand (fine, that's Miami)
Got the batteries and the handicam. (and that's my grandma in Miami)
Her eyes all swimming pool blue (ok, sounds pretty hot)
Dumb-bells on the diving board (another ghey line)
Baby's always attracted to
The things she's afraid of. (ok, this is one good line in the song)
Big girl with a sweet tooth watches
Skinny girl in the photo shoot. (and this comes from where...?)
Freshmen, squeaky-clean she tastes of chlorine. (ok, so now Bono is licking fat chicks in Florida)
Miami, my mammy. (The Tom Jones special.)
Love the movies, babe
Love to walk through movie sets
Get to shoot someone in the foot
Get to smoke some cigarettes. (ok, a little disjointed, but otherwise ok)
No big deal, we know the score
Just back from the video store.
Got the car and the car chase.
What's he got inside that case?
I want a close-up of that face.
Here comes the car chase. (ok, so we know he likes car chase movies now...whoopee)
I bought two new suits
Miami
Pink and blue (not entirely surprising, knowing Bono...Macphisto's suit comes to mind)
Miami
I took a picture of you (did he? I hear a restraining order on the way!)
My mammy
Getting hot in a photo booth (he sure likes photos)
Miami.
I said you looked like a madonna. (ok...that's disturbing.)
You said maybe.
You said I wanna have your baby, baby. (and this is even more.)
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldn't be a problem
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldn't be a problem
Least not in Miami. (oi. Talk about an odd line...especially an odd repeating line)
You know, some places are like your auntie (this is another one of those WTF?!? lines)
But there's no place like Miami
My mammy
Miami
My mammy.
I'm sorry for doing this. It's 3 AM. I'm tired. I'm hungry. And I loathe this song. I dislike a few U2 songs (Stuck, Numb, et al) but this is the only U2 song I hate. I do not understand how this made it onto any CD, let alone a CD by the greatest band in the world. Thank goodness I have a skip button on my stereo.
