I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky

Oh baby, I was bound from mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
ahh ahh ha

I don't know much about cinco de mayo
I'm never sure what it's all about
but I say I want you and you don't believe me
you say you want me but i've got my doubts

Oh baby, I was bound from Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go

I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky

Oh baby, I was bound from Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go

I love Cake, was going to school at UC Davis when they broke onto the local music scene in nearby Sacratomato.  But this is not the best slice of Cake

That "ratchety thing" is called a VIBRASLAP, and the noise is generated by rattling pieces (metal or wood) enclosed in a wooden block.  See how it is played here:

Bill: "Next, Cake takes us on a little journey."

Me: Starts dreaming about a cake journey. Traveling from town to town, eating cake, listening to Cake, eating some more cake. Taking a break from cake and Cake because my belly starts to ache and I feel like listening to Less Than Jake and Turin Brakes. And then having more cake.

Who needs Dylan. . .

i do. and for exactly that reason and people like you. this band could be summed up in a single derisive word but let me use several: pompous up tight frat-boys with nothing but straight angles, no curves no depth (as in shallow - i was bright she was "much brighter"? ..lol) and no soul. thank the god(dess) and angels in heaven for Zimmy.

Guess some people haven't spent much time browsing the Cake catalog: there's PLENTY of curves, depth, wit, charm, angst, and soul.  It's as crazy to compare them to Dylan, as it is crazy to compare them to Debussy.

And many times I've realized "I was bright and she was much brighter; I was high, but she was the sky."  It's poetry, dude.

I agree that this is a big part of what Cake's about. And the lyrics definitely speak to me! But they reflect the male perspective typically with regard to relationships. So it makes sense that women who don't resonate with the vibe could well appreciate poetry and whimsy!

I'm a big fan. My son and I travelled several hundred miles to see them in concert. But, trying to be objective, I would say that, yes, if you are not taken by this song, you would likely find their albums 'spotty'. There are more songs than just the singles you would probably like as well, I think. However, there are many others you would likely respond to in much the same way you do to Mexico. Still, I do put their CDs on in my Car from time to time, and I really enjoy them.

Happy to see how many listeners like Cake. Even if it seems most everybody has reservations about them but then admits to liking them anyway. I think they're great. Not a band to take particularly seriously but they consistent come up with really good songs, have a somewhat unique sound and are a really tight group of players. Plus you just gotta love their cover of "I Will Survive".

They seem pretty different to me, but anyway it's just "Compare and contrast." The backbone of all literature.
