| Matt Costa – Sweet Thursday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is basically a tribute to John Steinbeck. Sweet Thursday is the title of one of his books. "I'm waiting in the pines I'm waiting in the forest Pilon at my side The treasure lies before us" this is a reference to tortilla flat by steinbeck when pilon and pablo look for buried treasure to give to danny for rent. "We'll walk back to the flats With gallons in our hands" this is also a reference to tortilla flat, in which the boys at Danny's house consume an unhealthy amount of wine. "We're walking in the fields We're working on the farms We do just like our fathers How can they take that from us?" this is either a reference to in dubious battle, or the grapes of wrath. "And so we started driving We had no choice to leave this The bowl was left behind us For Hooverville's before us" an obvious reference to the grapes of wrath. yes, i am a HUGE fan of steinbeck and costa. |
