Obviously, about an overbearing and/or dismissive father. Great song. Only problem is it's way too short. |

"Typical me, typical me" - Nice appropriation of a Smiths line (I think). Also, nominal references to two of his previous albums ("Your Blues" and "This Night"). |

| I may be in a bit with this, but yeah, I was thinking about the "bolt/screw" bit the other day, and considered the double-meaning. | |
| Augie March – Mother Greer Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
In short, Germaine Greer got zinged. Looking at a few lines in detail: "Well versed I am in the taint of my birth, my diminishing roll in this sphere" - Men have been pretty brutally marginalised in recent years, and Greer could claim some responsibility for this ("role" rather than "roll", BTW). "Well England is pretty in the summer time" - You know, Germaine living in England because there's no room in Australia for a woman of her intellectual calibre, or something. "Boys are beautiful until the age of nine" - Ms. Greer does seem to have a thing for young boys. |
