I'm fairly sure that "Time is a game only children play well" is a reference to the philosopher Heraclitus. He said "Time is a child playing checkers - the kingly power is a child's". Basically the same idea, just shortened. Love the first stanza of this song. |

"Gene's talking about insignificant shit Just like crooks in the movies when they do that bit. He said the power of metal will never be harnessed. I thought the wages of metal should be heavily garnished." Anyone else think they're talking about Metal, the genre of music? I think it's a subtle dig at metal "musicians" getting big and famous. Berman is clearly not a metal fan. |

"Every morning you forgive me, every evening you relive me And the pattern itself is what you give me" It's "thing", not "pattern". No idea how you could've heard pattern. |

"Nobody cares about a dead hooker Looking like one, standing for money" It's "many", not money. |

There's been some confusion as to the meaning (or lack thereof) of this song. As it's creator, I'll explain. The first 2 lines are about the mixture of religion and commercialism. The themes are not brought up again in the song, and serve only as an interesting introduction the song's world. The second 2 lines introduce the main character of the song, the "kayak man". The next paragraph is fairly self-explanatory. Though vague when read together, each line is addressing a different idea connected by the ideas of business, celebrity, and dreams, and their effect. The third line of the paragraph is about distractions and that things that 'catch our eye'. The next paragraph begins painting a picture of the 'kayak man'. "He's packed his cellphone and the lamppost lights are on" hint that he is a stereotypical businessman, uncaring of the environment or world around him. His only goal is money, and furthering himself. "The ship is setting sail and the winds are blowing strong" foreshadows his death, and the speed at which it will reach him. This theme is strengthened in the next paragraph, and it is discovered that he does not know or care about it. The line "I've got a lot of time an money, I don't want to spend either on you" is further illustration of his arrogant and condescending character. The next lines explain to the reader that the 'kayak (and business)man' would treat anyone the same way. The last line is the character's thoughts as he realizes he is going to die, and that his life was meaningless. The title is the year the character was born. - Jackson Fishauf |

Apparently the song was written while Suze Rotolo was away from Bob in Europe in the early 60's. Probably one of the best songs ever written. |
