| Cake – Frank Sinatra Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I agree with sammohung999.. the beginning paints a picture of faint, ancient radio signals roaming through the stars (dismembered contellations). The "thin" voice at the beginning fits here. I also think it's "beyond the suns that guard this roost" instead of beyond the suns that guard this roof" not sure if that matters though *g* |

| Cake – She'll Hang the Baskets Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Sounds to me like "she" wants to do something, but no matter when you ("I") check (come summer, come fall, come winter..) it is not yet accoumplished. She wants to hang some baskets on the wall, but they ever always just lie on the floor. Just like "she will" do somthing she never actually does, he will get her something (and come back), but he never actually does. The slamming of the door is the moment he finally leaves her because of the promises she doesn't keep? No idea what the baskets or the Turtle Way actually stand for. For me the song is about a couple with plans and wishes that gets lost in everyday business and doesn't accomplish anyhing in the end. The fault seems to be more with her then with him, so he leaves her. |
