| Rickie Lee Jones – Chuck E.'s In Love Lyrics | 11 months ago |
|
The confusion with this song with whether she's saying P.L.P. or P.I.P. If you look at printed music sheets you'll see it's P.I.P. But there's a video with Rickie Lee Jones singing the song "unplugged" with an acoustic and you clearly hear her say P.L.P. People are saying it means "Public Leaning Post". That may be. But unless Rickie says herself that's what it means I won't buy into any such guesses. Even if that's wrong, Public Leaning Post does still get the idea across of innocent friendship. Ultimately I think this song is about growing up and how things change between boys and girls as they become young men and young women. My favorite thing about this song is that it has three qualities all at once, it's funky, junky and spunky. You won't find those three combined in ANY other single song. It's totally unique that way. |

Phil's own words regarding the meaning of these lyrics: "I had the chords I liked and the drums sounding good and I just made up some lyrics that fit the music. I just made it up as I went along. I don't know what it means." So there you have it. All the stories people have made up revolving around these lyrics is a bunch of BS. |

| The Clientele – (I Can't Seem To) Make You Mine Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I was pretty sure this song was about someone who had died. It would be a ghost speaking. The use of the tremolo gives the song an eerie, almost macabre, tone. "In the silence of the garden" could refer to a graveyard. The "beast" often refers to death. "Till the rusty nails grow dim" could refer to a coffin and decay. "I can't seem to make you mine." He can't because he's dead. "But the crowd pulled you away" could refer to a crowd leaving a funeral but the loved one wants to linger and also the way friends try to influence people to move on with their lives after a loved one has died. "And the ivy coiled around my hand" could refer to ivy that often grows over graves and the roots working their way into a coffin and around a skeleton. The image of rain relates to sadness and tears. It's definitely a very sad song. It's also very beautiful sounding to me. | |
