this song sums up going out on the town so perfectly. I go with my friends who seem to love it and get so excited, but to me its just confusing, noisy and i can't put my things anywhere! When you try to talk rather than dance like an idiot no one can hear you so even though you've been begged to come out, you might as well not be there! |

| They Might Be Giants – I've Got A Match Lyrics

I think its about a sexual relatioship gone sour. They are stuck in a passionateless relationship as he is so disgusted by her that her embrace only causes his collapse. Even thought she wants him "on the mat" with her (sex) he feels like he'll die if she touches him. Everyone around them is in love, but to him sexual love isn't sensitive and good, and he doesn't want to be understood. There only match is a miss match. |

| They Might Be Giants – Hide Away Folk Family Lyrics

i read in a review somewhere that it is about a family being burnt alive. I always got the impression that it was kinda like a frankenstien story, this folk family is seen as strange to others and they are scared of them, and so destroy them. Hide away folk family is kind of like a warning for them to keep hidden because the world won't accept them. It also can kinda reflect the way documentary film makers sometimes go and live with bizare familys and to us there ways are wierd and scary and so we judge them. I think this is basicly saying that folk familys should keep hidden so they are not percecuted. No idea about the bear thing, but with the hymn referance i'm sure whatever it means is very clever! |

I may be way off with this, but to me i always thought this song was about someone being attracted to a girl who also is attracted to him but is too anxious and physical contact to persue the relationship. Rather he doesn't want to start, as the start is the worst part and he doesn't want to go through with it. She has sexual experience that he doesn't have (she 'gets around', unlike him) which only increases his anxiety. I think the no one ever gets what they want bit is just him justifying it to himself, its not his fault because in fact no one ever gets what they want, and thats the right way the world should be and so he shouldn't be with the girl. no idea what the cat bit is about...but i like the theory that its actually about a cat! I guess the greast thing about TMBG songs is that it means differant things to differant people! |
