Am I More Than You Bargained For?



Just in the mood for this song: "Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy.  What can I say?

There is something really direct about a song that starts with "Am I more than you bargained for?" especially in a teenage EMO tune.  I just love that line.

I also like the line about "drop a heart, break a name."  Hey, if you want me to come up with all the answers about what the song means, I am THE wrong guy, but as to it being a catchy song with good lyrics and reasonable music, I'm in.

It does however, remind me of past relationships where people show two sides.  Maybe we all have two sides, but I play very few games.  Some people play Scrabble, others Battleship.  For me...I play, baseball which has taught me how to foul the ball, off not strike out, until I can get on base.  I also play chess which has taught me how to win long term.  In both cases, I bet I am more than you bargained for...

In any case thinking about today, I like the tune and the boys from FOB are back out on tour this summer and while I suspect I am a little on the wrong side of the age scale to show up who knows.  Enjoy your Friday night.
