(1) The U.S. Baby Lemonade formed in 1992 in Los Angeles. They are contemporaries of the Wondermints and The Negro Problem, and consist of guitarists Rusty Squeezebox and Mike Randle, bassist Dave Chapple, and drummer David Green. They have released three albums of southern-Californian power pop, but are also known for touring with Arthur Lee for many years as the last line-up of his band Love.
(2) The British Baby Lemonade formed in 1986. Within a few months they were recording demos and released the song “Jiffy Neckwear Creation” on flexi-disc (with The Bachelor Pad’s “Girl of Your Dreams”), which became Sounds magazine’s “Record of the Week” in February 1987. The original band line-up only played a handful of gigs, with the debut gig in Edinburgh (December 1986) consisting of three original numbers plus two covers, then the first number was repeated! The “Secret Goldfish” / “Real World” single (produced by Douglas Hart of The Jesus and Mary Chain fame) was released on 27 June 1987 and spent five weeks in the NME indie single charts, reaching #9. After some line-up changes the album One Thousand Secrets followed in late 1988.
The Last Song
Baby Lemonade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will ever sing
Regarding all the things
That made me fall
Remember it's just some
Time I lost
Maybe I can see
That I'll never be all right.
The lyrics of Baby Lemonade's The Last Song seem to come straight from the heart of someone who's tired of going around in circles. The first line, "This is the last song I will ever sing," implies a finality, a moment of realization that something has to stop. The songs that came before this one were probably cathartic, an attempt to put into words everything that's been going wrong. But the time has come for the singer to move on.
In the second line, "Regarding all the things that made me fall," the singer acknowledges the mistakes that led to this moment. There's a sense of regret there, a feeling that they could have done better. The following lines, "Remember it's just some time I lost / Maybe I can see that I'll never be all right," reflect the singer's resigned attitude. They've accepted that they can't change the past, and it's time to move forward.
Overall, the song is a melancholic reflection on the past and a bittersweet goodbye to old ways. It's a reminder that sometimes we have to let go of our past mistakes in order to embrace a brighter future.

This is the last song
I am finished with the music career
I will ever sing
I am retiring from singing
Regarding all the things
Concerning all the topics
That made me fall
That caused my failure
Remember it's just some
Just keep in mind that it's only
Time I lost
Time that has passed by and can't be regained
Maybe I can see
Perhaps I can understand
That I'll never be all right.
That I will never truly recover from my struggles.

I adore his complete disregard for conventional chord transitions between his intros and first verses. Also see “Here I Go.”
@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs
Yeah, same. It's unrestricted in a refreshing, unselfconscious way. I don't mean this in a condescending or patronising way, but it reminds me of when kids draw something for you, and they don't give a shit about how many arms someone's supposed to have, or what colour grass is supposed to be, they just draw what they damn well want, and as a result create amazing, original little masterpieces infused with the magic of their imaginations. Most people grow out of this liberated state and things start becoming laboured and "safe". I'm here for the ones who still believe in playtime; the ones who refuse to unfriend their inner child!
@jeffdawson2786
sausages and plants and goldfish Well said & appreciated. Unfortunately, people took advantage of his childlike whimsy, ruining him forever. They poisoned an original & very creative mind. 😿

Straight genius. Authentic blues. Shouts out from Houston, TX. Syd inspired me to play.
@ferdiahunt9899
The intro was actually him just warming up on guitar and David Gilmour managed too record it and thought it would suit the song
@Dana-wq5tp
Syd always wrote strange, dissonant chords that were somehow constructed in a way that created this catchy, pop sense. Very difficult to do as a songwriter and there's no denying his immense talent.
