defs. of Arrears - the state of being behind or late, especially in the fulfillment of a duty, promise, obligation, or the like.
2. something overdue in payment; a debt that remains unpaid.
I don't know about the gay relationship interpretation. To me it would seem unlikely. Could be a relationship lacking in affection. Since some people do get physically ill when that need isn't met. I'm going to go with a relationship that has gone stale or over. Maybe money has gotten in the way of the relationship, whatever it may be IE: friendship, relationship, partner. But the main character in the song isn't sad about the relationship ending (or is pretending to be so.) |

Aaron said this song is about an interview he had that the interviewer was basically telling him that his music wasnt all that great and he didnt like ska. So this song is Aaron's retaliation. Maybe this song is also directed at the fans who say RBF sold out and dont like their music anymore. RBF rock so "suck it" all of you who don't agree. |

Love this song. I know the actual meaning of the song is but I always think of it as my exs' are dating girly guys because I am a stereo-typical guy. This way it has more meaning to me. |

Look up the lyrics in the booklet. F**k is what they say although I say its totally unnecessary. Catherine the Great died in her bathtub probably from a stroke. The horse story is a myth that was used by Russian enemies to discredit her. Look it up thats what really happened. The beat is awesome in this song. |

Lissy rat had it right, although window washer is not think about commiting suicide, he's so deathly afraid of heights he is sure that it will be the end of him. So that's why at the end its "when I fall" not if I fall. Love this song |

If you listen to the podcast Steve and Ed both say the song is from Dale Gribble's POV. So it is about King of the Hill. End of story. |

This song reminds me of the concert in Las Vegas, I went to. At the end of "Some Fantastic" they started singing "Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young." After the song was over they said that only five people thought that that was funny and they were all onstage. I think BNL did this song to let the fans in on the joke. That makes this song hilarious. |

I have to admit I didn't hear this song until the concert in SLC in 2006. Freaked me out the first time especially when Steve screamed at the end. I really like thi song now. I realize the true meaning is about a guy who drives home and falls asleep at the wheel. The line "your the last thing on my mind does have double meaning you can tell in steve's voice. Although taking this song a step further my own personal significance I attatch to this song is appreciate evryone you come in contact with because you never know when they will be removed by anything that takes them away from the earth. An automobile accident for example. Cool huh, I took a depressing song and gave it an uplifting message. |

Love this song first of all. To me its about a guy who is in a relationship and just can't take it anymore. Maybe its because she is angry all the time maybe its because she doesn't love him the way he thinks she should. But that is what this song is about. |

| Barenaked Ladies – I'll Be That Girl Lyrics

This song is about a girl who is too wrapped around herself to notice the guy. Autoerotic Asphyxiation would be the way he stimulates himself while he is thinking about her. Although I have to confess When my girlfriend and I broke up I used this first line as her best friend who didn't like me reference. I'll be that girl and you would be right over. Makes sense doesn't it. I also would like to say I love this song. |

I would assume that the person who the song is being writtn about is still alive. If that wasn't true the second verse wouldn't make sense. Perhaps the "I put my hands around your neck, you wrap your arms around me" could be a dancing reference. When a woman slow dances she usually puts her hands around the mans neck. Maybe this song is from a woman's perspective. |

This is probably my favorite song but that can be argued. Sir Larrikin nailed the meaning down. It also does have levels like others have said. By the way sitting in a psych class and one even hears the name Pavlov and one automaticly starts singing in ones head "Brian Wilson" its a reaction one can't stop. |

I looked for the Ed Robertson affair rumor but couldn't find anything about it. Love this song and I agree with jwknov29 on the cheating husband meaning but maybe its not about Ed himself. |

Ok so I forgot to put the word fun in that sentence. It should have read "Steve wrote it to make fun of the situation that he would be in." Makes sense now doesn't it? |

This song was self-defacing. Steve wrote it to make of the situation that he would be in. This song is one joke after another. That's what Steve said, can't remember where I read that though. |

Some Fantastic is about a scientist who fell for a lab assistant and wants her back. Ed wrote this when he played it in the played in the bathroom sessions on YouTube. The meaning is basically simple when that forum is realized. There's alot he will never do. What what he wants is to be with her. Love this song. Its even better live. |
