| | Pepper Lyrics Artist(Band):Butthole Surfers
And Sharon got Cherese She was sharing Sharon's outlook On the topic of disease Mikey had a facial scar And Bobby was a racist They were all in love with dyin' They were doing it in Texas Tommy played piano Like a kid out in the rain Then he lost his leg in Dallas He was dancing with a train They were all in love with dyin' They were drinking from a fountain That was pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain I don't mind the sun sometimes The images it shows I can taste you on my lips And smell you in my clothes Cinnamon and sugary And softly spoken lies You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes Some will die in hot pursuit And fiery auto crashes Some will die in hot pursuit While sifting through my ashes Some will fall in love with life And drink it from a fountain That is pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain I don't mind the sun sometimes The images it shows I can taste you on my lips And smell you in my clothes Cinnamon and sugary And softly spoken lies You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes (In Reverse: I don't mind the sun sometimes The images it shows You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes) Another Mikey took a knife While arguing in traffic Flipper died a natural death He caught a nasty virus Then there was the ever-present Football player rapist They were all in love with dyin' They were doing it in Texas Pauly caught a bullet But it only hit his leg Well it should have been a better shot He got him in the head They were all in love with dyin' They were drinking from a fountain That was pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain I don't mind the sun sometimes The images it shows I can taste you on my lips And smell you in my clothes Cinnamon and sugary And softly spoken lies You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes If you find some error in Pepper Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Pepper Pepper's real meaning | Reviewer: LAYGO | 11/25/09 There are several people who in fact do know the meaning of this song and have made reference here. These are all in fact real people from the Lake Highlands neighborhood in Dallas. In fact "Tommy" can still be seen at Butthole Surfers/Honky shows in Dallas on crutches, missing part of his left leg from the knee down. There once was a thread on buttholesurfers.org/forum that described in detail most of these people. response to the forum | Reviewer: sirensong | 11/12/09 There sure are a lot of people on this forum talking out without much information. Wavey Dave is closest to having anything that looks like real knowledge. Gibby's dad was a Dallas celebrity with a local children's TV program in the 70s. Mr. Peppermint a drinking problem. I was one of the kids on set. Austin didn't do anything to Gibby's that Deep Ellum wouldn't have. All the people mentioned in that song are real. Two of them are in prison, the rest are dead. This is not a song about one wild party night. It's about the youth in the punk scene in Dallas in the 80s. We were like POWs just trying to survive our families and how some of us opted out. Classmate | Reviewer: Wavey Dave | 10/26/09 The anonymous review on 1/15/09 was right. The names mentioned in the song were real people, mostly classmates of Gibby's at Lake Highlands High in Dallas, and poetic descriptions of their demise.It's funny to think that Gib was a clean cut social (jock) in high school. Austin changes people. my meaning | Reviewer: Jessy | 10/20/09 i personally believe that everyone on this forum is correct, because each song has a different meaning to each individual. The great thing about music is that we each percieve the lyrics in a different way because of our unique experiences. To me this song is about a druggies life, the way that they live life to the fullest without realize that its killing them. In the corus, its saying how they can also slow down and are just like everyone else, but so few others can see that.... MEH | Reviewer: SHARLEEN | 8/15/09 i believe that this song is about drugs, and the emotional and physical roller coasters they cause. the chorus is describing the drugs. "They were all in love with dyin' They were drinking from a fountain That was pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain" these lines describe the emotional high people feel, although its killing them, they continue to overuse. the verses describe the physical pain that can be caused to people when doing drugs, such as being shot, dying from a virus caused by having virtually no immune system, they rape, pillage, and plunder. sex | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/28/09 I was surprised when I finally looked up this captivating song's lyrics . I always heard the word Texas as traces , like a harness . So to me [they were doing it in traces] refered to some form of bdsm action in this time of Aids. The rest of the song fits ,[gushing down a mountain] repeated 3 times is an obvious ode to orgasm , while smelling someone in your clothes is best achieved by intimacy . Texas ? well there are a lot of horses there . The meaning.... | Reviewer: Josh | 6/13/09 In terms of the meaning of each individual line I'm not sure. But the overall song is about a wild night of partying in Dallas that turned into a weekend of partying. A good friend of mine, Paulie, was hanging out with these guys during this time. By the end of the weekend the entire band was torn to shit and Paulie had ended up getting shot in the leg. awesome | Reviewer: JZ | 5/14/09 Awesome song, and with people arguing over its meaning, I mean, look at the band, the songs they write, it appears to me that they came up with the song beat and made the lyrics fit. Maybe it has a different meaning, but I still like to believe what i see. Either way, screw it. Its an awesome song! Keep it Simple | Reviewer: Hauntd | 4/21/09 In my opinion, we're over-thinking this. I believe the song is simply about cadence. The lyrics flow. They just sound good strung together they way they are. Do they refer to something? I'm sure they do, but only the Lyricist(s) know exactly to what. After all, they could refer to any obscure event that occurred in their lives and is only meaningful to them. If you listen to Ozzy, he said it best in the song - Not Going Away, when he said "Only I know what goes on in my head". reviewers | Reviewer: david | 4/2/09 i absolutely love this song. and i cant get over ex-chemist at large's review. it seems he has quite a bit of street experience and it looks as though he has a degree in at least one field. hes not stupid. i agree with most of the reviews here: reckless teen habits, habitual drug use, sharing needles, obsession of youth, and drinking. it seems to me that the BHS have quite an appetite for life and every conceivable evil that befalls a living human. but then again, i consider this a work of art, that, like most works of art, are only interpreted by the beholder. i believe that the BHS's concept of the song is completely abstract and meaningless. therefore, as is human nature, when we find something with no meaning, we must find one. and we find one that can relate to ourselves. as the saying goes,"beauty lies in the eye of the beholder".
