Steely Dan – Deacon Blues Lyrics 18 years ago
well i had no idea of the meaning of this song. i like the football team references, winner vs loser thing and the drinking and driving idea. still wondering about the meaning... i dont know what to think of this song besides it rocks.

Steely Dan – Change Of The Guard Lyrics 18 years ago
i love this song (yet to find an unappealing Dan song).

i think the narrator is telling the listener to join the party and have fun (kinda). the way i see it it like "hey old groutchy guy! let loose cause everythings ok. and then there's you tough guys with your guns, what are you thinking? everyones a friend here, and if you wanna get along you gotta do your part."

haha if not whatever, but to me it seems odd that Steely Dan would sing about such a happy topic...

Steely Dan – Fire In The Hole Lyrics 18 years ago
i like songs for how they sound. but if they have a deeper meaning, its fun to try to figure it out.

i think the first part is the narrator refusing to conform to the new age of people. he's proud of the morals he has and it seems that he's become a freak as more people lose their's.

the chorus sounds like he's the lonely flame with nowhere to spread. he'd love (yeah in the song it's "love") to stop but he can't.

i dont really know but maybe in verse 2 he's considering acting like everyone else instead of his well-mannered self.

but i dont know. im a Dan fan looking for what others think about what it all means. great song.
