| Bob Dylan – Highlands Lyrics
| 10 years ago

I think this song can be compared with Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, another epic-length Dylan tune, this one from Blonde on Blonde. Beside the Lowlands/Highlands contrast, see the lyric: “Wouldn’t know the difference between a real blonde and a fake”. Perhaps the waitress is Sara Lowndes, his former wife? |

| Steely Dan – Lunch With Gina Lyrics

I always interpreted the last verse to be a flashback, but this works either way: Yes, she is hot, but he has to wait for her and then she is no good--"The waiter (the singer who is waiting for her) never comes. God knows the service could be better." So after agreeing to date her, it wasn't worth it. |

This one is really an R rated one--pop impulses of Graham Goldman mixed with the dementedness of Kevin Godley.
It is about a rapist, IMHO. He stalks the woman, then says he might do something he'll regret. ANd be back for sloppy seconds!!! The creepiest part is "Lay down--there's really not a lot that you can do." Call the police!!! |

Just another tongue in cheek song from Godley and Creme. What would REALLY happen at the Jailhouse Rock? They would have to load up with rubber bullets, like at Attica. |

A nice song. I like the line,
"And if you get a nightmare
Would you go and shake your Ma
Cause your Daddy's been a workin' all day"
I can relate. |

I love the line--Who gets to spend her birthday is Spain? Possibly you, Janie Runaway. Like--possibly--no promises. |

| 10cc – Fresh Air For My Mama Lyrics

I love this one. It is probably the saddest of all 10cc songs, which is to say it is about one of two or three sad 10cc songs. I think it could have been a hit except for the falsetto parts--"The change is gonna do her good, next to me you look bad cuz there ain't no fresh air . . ." Beautiful song about a guy leaving his home. |

| 10cc – I'm Mandy, Fly Me Lyrics
| 18 years ago

This song is like Part 2 of Clockwork Creep. The man takes the flight because he is attracted to the Mandy on the poster. The plane blows up, he is thrown in the water, and the stewardess saves him--only she was dead! 10cc should never be taken too seriously--this a jokey song. |
