I've thought about it "buzzkiller". Nothing is certain, life isn't a friggin' bowl of cherries and double entendre (dual meanings, children) are ubiquitous in Mercury's lyrics. Have you not considered that the "stream of hope" may be that promiscuity won't result in an infectious disease? Do you folks have any awareness of the people and personalities behind the music or do you just naturally assume that everything anyone ever writes can only have the most obvious and literal meaning? Next you'll be arguing that "2112" has nothing to do with abusive and stifling governments and is only about a guy who finds a guitar. I've not said that anyone else's interpretation of the "obvious" meaning is wrong; in fact, I agreed with it! Get off my jock now, okay? Thank you. |

Whoa, slow down there, twinkle twinkle little tsar! On the surface, you are correct; the message is love. Between the lines, the message is an STD spread through "making" love, or "hooking up" as you crazy kids call it these days. When the song was released (were you alive?) the relevance was clear; Aids was starting to kill people. It eventually killed Freddie. Forgive me if I don't believe there's anything romantic about: "Some sleepless nights in wait for you Some foreign presence you feel, comes creeping through Some stream of hope The whole world through Spread like some silent disease You'll get yours too" Sounds pretty ominous to me. And the "message" gets taken from partner to partner the world over continuing to "infect" people of both genders. Did *you* even read the lyrics? It's okay, though, soon enough, if you stay in school and study real hard, wisdom will come your way! |

In my day they called it venereal disease. Today they lump all venereal diseases together under the heading of STDs. In any event, that's what I think it's about. Rock on! |

| The Tragically Hip – Pigeon Camera Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| A pigeon camera is a low-tech spying device used "back in the day". A small automatic camera was attached to a homing pigeon set to fly over the area in question. The resulting images were used in strategic planning. | |
