| As an afterthought - perhaps the 'tiger' is a US Airforce Stealth Fighter firing cluster bombs into Iraqi rural towns that might threaten the west's extracion and supply of crude? | |

I think edbanky is maybe reading a little too much into it.. yeees there is a car involved, but that doesnt necissarily mean the chorus has to be about riding a tyre now does it? The thing is (if we were paying attention to context) if you were stuck in the Gaza Strip – that’s way down by Egypt, then you're a hell of a long way from the River Euphrates to be thinking of catching a tube ride down it. Probably better to take a jerry can down to Gaza City and hitch back - the strip isn't that big. I dunno what the song's about really - its one of those ones that you can think of any subject and the words will fit in. To me it creates an image to me of a political metaphor for the Jew’s crash landing in Palestine in the 40’s the state of Israel was created and the ensuing strife. 'driving too fast' meaning the country was established so quickly... 'salty wine making you choke' to me is perhaps the land Abriham promised the Isrealites turning out to be not so sweet afterall, with all the unrest from Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Who knows though, interesting to hear everyones thoughts though - and gives me something to do while i wait for my wisdom teeth holes to heal! |
