| Followup... ran into Kevin Barnes at a Love Is All show in LA. I asked him point blank if the 130 BPM/1:30 thing was planned or a coincidence. He grinned and said it was a coincidence. | |

Just wanted to point out that "cliques clicking at 130 bpmm" happens at exactly 01:30 into the song. Pretty clever. And yes, I realize this could be a conincidence, but the sound snippet at the beginning with the baby bells and the "la la la" (is that his daughter's voice?) could have been sequenced/edited to allow that particular lyric to match the timecode. So it's either devilishly clever or it's a hell of a remarkable coincidence. |

Is that really how a Jock pronounces "cliche"? PS I love this song and this band. |

Agree with siblog. The key for me is the line "We set the controls for the heart of the sun, one of the ways we show our age," which fits in with the metaphor of going on a long drug trip as a journey, the "charts" probably meaning people's personal dayplanners and what not. So the narrator is meeting up with old friends, they decide to have a night of fun, but have to check and make sure it's doable in regards to their busy adult lives. "Set the controls for the heart of the sun," is a line from a Pink Floyd album, in other words, the implied meaning is that they're going to trip and listen to Floyd, which is probably something they did or always wanted to do as teenagers! And if that got lost on any of you young'uns, well, that's what the lyrics mean about "showing our age". |
