| Isn't he saying 'two years of touching?' It fits into the rest of the chorus which speaks about physical touch. 'we'll be HOLDING one another..we only ever wanted to FEEL real...' | |

| Aimee Mann – Little Bombs Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is unbelievable and one of her best ever.. what does she mean by the sweet green trees of Atlanta bursting?? This song is apparently about John in the story, I guess, since the photo in the booklet is of him lying in a bed in a hotel.. why are the trees bursting? he could possibly just be really high and hallucinating since he's a drug addict. what about the 'unexploded shell' though? is it a metaphor for John and how is he about to 'burst' or full of despair/etc? or more literal somehow.. which would be intense | |

| Aimee Mann – Humpty Dumpty Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"and not all the pieces would talk to you"- should be 'and none of the pieces' "Wouldn't you want to who had them"- should be 'wouldn't you want to be who you had been?" It really bothers me when people post obviously incorrect lyrics for amazing songs like this. |

| Aimee Mann – Ballantines Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
'Ballantines' is the name of a beer brewery in America, famous for their Ballantine Ale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballantine_%28brewery%29 To me, this song is about someone either working there or just around the time the place was big.. and is clearly an alcoholic of some sort. The song seems like typical Aimee Mann with wry and clever lyrics- her and Sean Hayes are listing out reasons for him being an alcohol or wallowing his pain in drinking. She's playfully saying 'it must be hard', as if humouring him, making it seem like his excuses for drinking are worth it. He's like most Aimee character- downtrodden and lost. He's 'ringing the bells of doors that don't swing wide anymore', 'watching the fellows gloat'. He's depressed 'seeing the same old crowd pass you by in the street'. "You cut off everyone you know Boy you told `em all where to go Now it must be hard getting the same revoke Ballantines" The bridge there is showing him cutting himself off from everyone, being alone due to his own failures. The last two verses are a continuation and directly addresses his drowning his sorrows in beer- 'sprung for every drink you downed'. I think the (?) part is 'if what you got just might be coming around..' I also think it's 'Them fat cats" instead of 'fat cows"- here she's sympathizing with him sort of, and showing the characters reserve for the people who he is isolated from. To me, this song is amazing and one of the best I've heard from her. It reminds me of 'Way Back When' and is a wonderful song that's upbeat and lovely tone is constrated greatly by the subject matter- typical Aimee Mann characters, sad and alone and full of regret and disillusionment. The tone and duet makes it a type of knowledgable song- the narrator is as aware of the problems of the character as the character himself is, sympathizing but also presenting him with the obvious problems in his life and it works as a sort of anthem for anyone who is not only an alcoholic, but lost, alone. etc. |
