Brianstorm Lyrics
Top marks for not trying
So kind of you to bless us
With your effortlessness
We're grateful, so strangely comforted
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination?
Well, see you later, innovator
There's not a net you couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get
'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet
And she's not aware yet
But she's yours
Show me the jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there, on a plate
Your whole rendezvous rate
Means that you'll never be frightened
To make them wait for a while
I doubt it's your style
Not to get what you set
Out to acquire the eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm
Hup
(Top marks for not trying)
You leave the other stories standing
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there's hundreds of blokes
That have wept 'cause you've stolen their
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well a read a very interesting comment on the AM forum, about the first verse (Brian-- to -->Inovator) 'It's a sarcastic compliment, making reference to people who dress like they have threw random gear on, when in fact it is a carefully planned outfit etc.'
The lyrics are pretty straight forward, but I'm sort of trying to figure out if the video's meant as a parody of the usual music videos, that seem to put a great focus on a plenthora of anonymous dancing girls with almost no interaction on the band's part. Notice how they're all in shadows and whenever we're show the boys, it's either from far away or an angle that makes it hard to tell who they are, if we didn't know already.
lol for some reason,I sense sarcasm in this song. I like to think that he's actually making fun of the Brian guy. Particularly with the 'see ya later, innovator!' bit.
Love this song. Absolute genius <3
Mmmm...absolutely loving this song. I can't believe noone has posted these lyrics yet!
The meaning's quite obvious on this one really, it's about a guy called Brian who's great at pulling women. I bloody love the title. Roll on April 26!!!
Actually I believe its about a guy called brian who snook into their dressing room and started hanging out with them. "there's not a net you couldnt slip through" and apperantly he was a bit of a freak, alex said it felt like he was trying to hipnotise you when he spoke. "and i wonder are you putting us under"

but i can see references to what you talking about, maybe it has double meaning.

I think this song was meant to be very sarcastic. It is kind of saying, "Yeah Brian, you're so cool because you get so many woman with your edgy look."
He references the t shirt and tie as the "cool new look" which represents today's "scene" crowd. The singer is basically saying, "<sarcasm>yeah you're cool, we get it. YOU'RE SOOOOOO ORIGINAL.</sarcasm>"
I feel like there isn't much sarcasm in the song, not sarcasm but legitimate awe. I think the band were a little surprised with Brians presence, perhaps even a bit jealous. However they felt like he was a little too easy to hate, and with reason, since apparently it seemed like this Brian could steal some of their "Thunder".
They are totally being sarcastic in parts of this song. Brian is a hipster who and is always up on the latest fashion trends and gets loads of girls because a lot of girls are into guys like that, but they are mocking him by saying "Top marks for no trying" and calling him an "innovator" because they think he's a sheep who just follows fashion instead of being more original

i can't wait for their new album to come out. The meaning is a bit obvious. I love this song
just because it's not catchy doesn't mean it's not a good song. i love the lyrics. i think it's brilliant anyway! x
