| The Dresden Dolls – A Night at the Roses Lyrics

Okay people... question time. Where on Earth can I get music by the Dresden Dolls such as this? Ihave both their albums and have downloaded from iTunes 'Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turn' and their cover of 'Pretty in Pink', but that seems to be about the only available songs outwith their albums. Anyone know how I can get a hold of it? |

I'm in two minds about this song. It could be from either the perspective of the drunken male in a relationship or the abused female.
It could be that this is a boyfriend/husband who gets into fights or beats people up (perhaps even his partner) as previously suggested and is trying to convince her that he does still love her despite this.
Or equally it could be the story of a woman who is physically abused in her relationship, this would better explain the feelings of pain. It would also make sense in this situation that the pain she feels is emotional as well as physical. She still loves him, but is hurt ('only slightly less than I used to') and is lying to her freidns/family/doctors/nurses/whoever about where her injuries came from.
It could be deliberate that Morrisey has told the tale of this couple in such a way that it could be interpreted to be from either angle in order to show that they both have equal love for each other, yet they also each feel the pain from their circumstances and it is not one sided. |

It's about finding a partner who will satisfy her needs (sexuall and otherwise) without srewing her over. You get the impression she feels there is no such person as all humans have faults, therefore she is asking for something else, suggesting she does not think she will ever find her true love. |

I think the 'phone me, phone me, phone me' part was meant to sound like 'f*ck me, f*ck me, f*ck me'. I think the song is about lonliness. To me, it seems that it's about a guy who is ashamed to admit to his father (and himself) that he is still single. He is too caught up in everday life, perhaps his career, etc. The 'caffeine in your bloodstream' could be a referance to him being stressed out over such things and the 'strain of the pain' expresses how when he is made to think about it, he does feel lonely and is hurt by this. He says he thinks he is in love because this is what he wants, to be in love. I believe the war referances to be a hint at the inner conflicts he is having, whether he should follow his heart and find love or not. I love this song. |
