| The Wonder Years – Woke Up Older Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Firstly, I think the line "So I stacked a Bukowski novel on a Blacklisted LP and this time what it looked like was just what it proved to be" is an obvious reference to the line "I stacked ‘Lonelier than God’ next to ‘You Get So Alone Sometimes.’ I know how this must look from the outside" from "Everything I Own Fits In This Backpack" Secondly, "I left a note up on your bed that said 'Hey, thanks again for everything you did'" seems to be a reference to the song "Hey Thanks," so I'd guess that the song is about the same person. Also, when he sings "When John introduced Woke Up New in St. Augustine I knew I wasn't alone" he's talking about the song by The Mountain Goats. (The lyrics are here: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858607873/) The story John introduces the song with can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOuP__Iap9E (In fact I think that might be the exact performance that Soupy's talking about, it's from a show at Harvest of Hope in St. Augustine, FL on March 13, 2010.) |

if you have the booklet then you should know it's not "I never had a choice to leave the choke-hold mold and romance through this doorway". i've corrected that line now that i have the booklet. |
