| Barenaked Ladies – Another Postcard Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
So, I traveled all through Europe last spring, and in each city in the dozen countried I visited, THE ONLY PLACE with postcards with chimpanzees (or any other kind of non human primate for that matter) is ENGLAND. I was so sad. Ok, also the Rock of Gibralter off of Spain has some postcards with monkeys because they supplied free roaming "rock apes" as a tourist attraction, but even that is a Brittish territory. I heard this song was about a postcard Ed's neighbor sent him once, not about some obsessive stalker. He talks about it in one of the podcasts. |

| Barenaked Ladies – Aluminum Lyrics | 19 years ago |

So in their live version, they sing an extra stanza: Why should it come as a big surprise? It's just an element of disguise Even your emotions are anodized I just love their double meanings! I love this song. I don't think it's about a showoff girlfriend at all. I think it's actually about an enemy that you become attracted to despite your better judgement. OR, perhaps it's about someone you normally loathe, but you become momentarily wrapped up in their success even though you realize that it's all a facade. |
