Correction to my last post: "Living in a suitcase" means there are no home roots where SHE'S concerned. She s not tied down in otherwords. "Meet a clown and fall in love" means he knows how he could feel about this "not typical" person, but knows she's still just a clown - not serious. She just wants to have him over, even though he knows they'll just "clown around" for a while then break up, leaving him heartbroken over someone she could fall in love with, meaning it could never be a serious relationship. She would "take you to a juke box" - do anything he wants, just pick it out. And he knows that's the situation and complies with "that's the arrangement". Regardless, she's superficial, lets people "buy" her love and he only has her while he's hot to her. When the lust is gone, she is too. |

My interpretation is that these two meet at a club type place. He offers to buy her a drink, she's immediately attracted - "look at you forever" - and he wants to take her to "the water" (have sex) and she knows he's a gamble by looking at the intent in his eyes - "eyes like a casino". Neither one is the typical person they usually hook up with. He knows she's gotta be paid (not necessarily in money, but she only hooks up with people who can afford to keep her and buy her things for her love - "silver". She's reading him like a "diagram" - knowing his full intent. "Go down to the rio" - river (always an innuendo for sex IMO). "Put it in my left hand" - not so sure unless it's money/things first then sex, but "put it in a fruit machine", I'm thinking it's again a sexual innuendo for him entering a woman's vagina (cherry pie, fruit basket, wicked garden, etc). "Living in a suitcase" means there are no home roots where he's concerned. He's not tied down in otherwords. "Meet a clown and fall in love" means she knows how she could feel about this "not typical" person, but knows he's still just a clown - not serious. He just wants to have her over, even though she knows they'll just "clown around" for a while then break up, leaving her heartbroken over someone she could fall in love with, meaning it could never be a serious relationship. He would "take you to a juke box" - buy her anything she wants, just pick it out. And she knows that's the situation and complies with "that's the arrangement". "Dancing on the legs of a newborn pony" means that this is new for the both of them and they don't really know how to proceed, so it's more than unstable as far as a relationship goes. They learn the steps as they go - "left right left right", but he knows he can only keep it up for a while because he only has her as long as the lust of the initial attraction - "go ahead and have her, go ahead and leave her, you only had her when you were a fever." When she's tired of him, she's gone, no matter what he could give her in posessions or love because that's the type of person she is - superficial and driven by desire and only what someone could give her. Love the song and love it on "The Losers" movie. They used it in just the right places of the film. |
