| State Radio – Gunship Politico Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"He wasn't beggin' He was just keeping time with his cup You go on and believe that You keep your eyes straight up" The way I interpreted this was that there was a man begging, but the other guy just walked straight past him. He would prefer to think that the beggar was "keeping time with his cup" maybe tapping it to a beat, rhythmically tapping it, etc. If he thought of the beggar as a man just idling his time away, he wouldn't feel so bad walking by him. As long as the man convinces himself of this, he can feel he has done no wrong by passing the beggar by without so much as a thought. If he thought of him as a beggar, it would be wrong not to help out if the beggar was in serious need, and the other man seems to have some wealth to spare. |

isn't it "lone tree" not lawn tree..??? i love this song. he has great love songs, i feel this is more of an unconditional love of oneself, no matter how bad things can get, you have to be able to depend on yourself. |
