Basically a drug addict who thinks he's buying cocaine- but he's in for a surprise.
Awesome song, btw. P-Funk is definitely where it's at. |

Gosh, you guys really don't research any of this stuff, do you?
And I quote, from Wikipedia:
"The song is also known for a lyric intentionally misprinted on the insert sleeve of the LP. A lyric referring to "The Hellhound" (a homage to Robert Johnson who, as legend has it, could not have received such talent without meeting the devil and his "hellhound" at the "crossroads") was deemed unfit to print in the lyric sheet and was changed to the nonsense phrase "high hopes hailla." |

Ah, I just read something on the forum that I perfectly agree with:
'no no no. its not about suicide its about love. youth. happiness. the idea of carbon monoxide and daddy are just non sequiturs, metaphors if you will. ideas that distract from life. in death, they are more free. the song is about happy hazy existance, and how love gives you that feeling, but so does death (incidentally through CO poisoning). its definitely a good (positive) song." |

Hmm...
After reading all of these interpretations and relistening ot the song about a hundred times, I really don't think it's got too much to do with actual suicide.
From what I take of it the lines about the socks imply that the narrator worries about little things (getting his/her socks on right), and disregards what's important (the carbon monoxide). Pretty much the same for the second and third verses; he/she is concerned about this other person, and they're so caught up in themselves (or each other) that they're ignorant of everything else.
Not too sure about the "Come on Daddy" part though. |

The Lucille part sound SO Tori Amos, it's kinda crazy.
At the same time it's Regina all the way.
The Pavlov part is obviously related to the classical conditioning.
The other parts, though- hard to make out. I do like the explanations people have given about it also alluding to classical conditioning of people. |

I think my CD hads been burned wrong (oops, did I say that out loud?) because this entire song is just static when I hear it. Is that how it's supposed to be? |

This song means so much to me because I am going through this exact predicament. I'm dating a girl who's had a rough life and feels worthless and doesn't want to go on with what she has convinced herself will be a life full of pain, and It kills me to watch her slowly disintegrate into nothing, and I am determined to not let her fall apart. |

The lyric, by the way, actually does say "farmer", becuse if you think about it, "bombers" wouldn't wield an axe... and I can distinctly hear the "f" sound when he sings it. |

There is a version of this from the Fillmore East performance that actually has some altered lyrics... I can't seem to find that anywhere, though...
This song, though, has got to be one of the eeriest songs I have ever heard, especially with the way he sings (mostly at the Fillmore East version). Every way I've heard this, it comes together almost perfectly.
This has to be one of the best songs ever written. |
