she gives me a pumpin stray

future I will follow her
I would take
a plain or two
now I have something to die for
white clouds
like life is swell
a tissued chair and flowers to feed from
white hounds
I'm not in hell
she gives me a pumpin stray
to you that means
that she might stay

she gives me a pumpin stray
straight to mind, straight to heart
she might never walk away
straight to mind, straight to heart

the light that shines has made it through
and no one here
makes perfect sense
indifference, or so don't listen
I can teach
a language or two
she gave me a pumpin stray
to you that means she never stayed

Lyrics are ok. Just wondering what you mean by pumping stray?
Isn't stray a verb for being lost? My English vocabulary isn't that great, so correct me if I'm wrong

I don't think the author knows

Indeed, I don't know the exact meaning of the word, I really liked the sounding of it so I used it, I tried other stuff but this one made me feel it's just right

IF you don't use words that scan, you'll sound like Sean Paul or some other illiterate

Change the whole term to "she gives me a pumpkin tray" :P..

Stray = become separated/random choice/scattered

among those terms... change it for your own good

is that a selection of chocolates but instead of choccs you have pumpkins?

No its more like atray made of pumpkin :P

well I kinda know what it means, because I heard the word in a lyric by kurt cobain. I don't know the exact meaning of it but Englisch is a fonetic language, so I know it's correct

What? You heard Blew? How can you possibly know the meaning when you miss use it so badly? English does not work that way mate.
What do you mean? a pumping lost individual? Does she give you a lost person that is pumping? and pumping what?.. NONE is going to understand your lyrics when its based upon connecting random words that you think sound cool together.

a pumping stray as in stream
a current
and no I did not get it from blew
I got it from aneurysm, although there are other lyric sheets to that song so It's possiblle he just uses something that sounded like stray, like straight

You should be the next Pavement. If you want to do nonsense lyrics, it requires words that go together well, but are not usually used together. Usually it works if you're in the mood for word association. Like pumpkin would go well with....head? and write about being a horseman, and how you'd lose your head over this girl. hope this helps spark some ideas.

Actually, the phrase "pumpkin stray" brings to mind Linus from Peanuts for some reason. Maybe the idea of believing in things that no one will believe in?

Hmm.. I don't understand what you mean maxi..
are you saying "pumping stray" is a way of saying "current"?
I think you are using the wrong word mate..
to Pump (pumping) is a verb.
stray is a verb of a noun or an adjective.
...now, the only combination that makes any sense is combining a verb and a noun..
Stray (noun) I believe has only one meaning, "lost animal/person"/"person who cant find its way"
how can you make that mean "Current"?
sorry for being a pain in the *** if I am.. It just makes no sense

btw. Somnambulator, his phrase is "pumping" not "pumpkin"

Ok....

In Lyrics You Have to relate to things..

This song is just all over the place!
That was utterly disgusting!

well that's my kind of writing
if I feel like I need some sentences I take some out of my diary or older songs.
It's all over the place to you, but not to me.
It's sickening by the way, that you "rate" people's lyrics
how dare you think you can rate poetry or lyrics by scales from one to five, based in it's content and grammar.
This is worse than high school

i think the reason why he rates the lyrics is just to show you what he thinks about it..
by the way.. you spoke about the title being a line from the nirvana song "aneurysm" (what a great song that is!).
the actual line is "She keeps it pumping straight to my heart"

ok, i don't show off what i think, and i also said sorry, if i offended anyone... i already said i won't "rate", what else do you want FROM me?
