The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? I haven't finished the book yet but there are similarities i've noticed. The big giveaway would be, 'Oh Cairo, where did you go?' as in the city Huck and Jim need to find to head north. The Cairo in the book is pronounced CAY-roh though as opposed to KYE-roh in Egypt, as Blaine sings it, so either he didn't know, or it has nothing to do with Huck Finn haha. And I suppose being a tourist down the Mississippi? And dither because Huck in indecisive as to his views of society. What's not for sale cannot be bought -- Jim? The camera part's got me. Civil War photography which is the only thing I can link it to was used to reveal the truth, reality and devastation of war which was disguised by romantic artists, so it doesn't make sense that in this case, taking pictures would help to avoid reality. Picture-taking could just be a metaphor though and not nearly as technical haha. Also the who and why and the connotations of being an oyster I have nooo idea about. Oysters are secluded? Ugly on the outside yet hold a beautiful pearl on the inside? Tasty and nourishing? Does this have to do with Jim? (if the next part of that verse has to do with him) Aye don't know, but that's my attempt. And i've never seen The Purple Rose of Cairo so I can't make any conclusions about that. maybe just a play on words in the title? And if it has to do with Huck Finn, then purple prose is quite humorous as well. Or just shows that it has absolutely nothing to do with the book at all. |

| Klaxons – The Bouncer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yeah I'm pretty sure it's down and not Dan, because they open shows in other countries a lot with this song, and change the lyrics to 'Your names not down, you're not in LA', for example (which they did last night. They've got so much energy live. If you ever get the chance, make sure you see them. Not to mention, their drummer Steffan is gorgeous haha). It just wouldn't make sense if it was, 'Your names not Dan, you're not in LA' | |

Gravity's Rainbow is actually a re-make of sorts of a song by Kicks like a Mule. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=134264190 I don't know if they'll still have the song up by the time poeple read this, but it's up there now haha The basic tune is taken from that song, as well as 'Come with me, come with me / We'll travel to infinity' and 'I'll always be there, oh, oh my future love', but I'm assuming everything else was written by them |
