Very catchy, although it's so exaggerated and melodramatic that I can't help thinking that it's mocking kids rather than being sympathetic. |

Might I also add, if it hasn't already been said, that this song was part of the soundtrack to the film 'Blow', which was concerned with early coke trafficking from Colombia to the US. |

The book, Watership Down, by Richard Adams is also a political story. General Woundwort's burrow is like a communist country. I highly doubt that this song is about communism, but hey, it's food for thought for all those of you with hyperactive imaginations.
I would say that this song was pretty obviously about death, the mystery surrounding it and how it is an inevitable rite of passage, like the course of a river.
I haven't seen the movie, I'm afraid. |

One of the few songs where I can actually understand this guy. (yes; my white, middle-class, british upbringing) |

If any of my friends are down about their size, I just remind them that no-one wrote a song called Thin Bottomed Girls. |

Does anyone know what 'yaleo' and 'ise' (or whatever it's meant to be... perhaps it's Belice?) mean? I understand the rest of the song, but when I went to look those two words up I couldn't find them. |

I don't see why it can't be about Vail /and/ coke. Perhaps he feels that she treats him like a drug, using him to make her feel better (like cocaine might be used - he is the coke which 'travels through the tube', and any negative feelings which her is stopping is her 'infection'), and then drops him when she's feeling good again. The parent/child metaphor is (?) just to show his level of unconditional devotion to her. This is probably going way too deep, but if you considered that 'poison apple' was a reference to the whole adam/eve/fall thing, then it could be said that she has 'taught him everything' and he hasn't questioned it because he is still innocent - she hasn't allowed him to eat the apple and discover wisdom and truth.
Now this is sounding like the made-up sections of my English essays -_-. Who cares. Great song, though. |
