A mahogany cyprus is a type of table; whether this is what he is really singing about beats me. Here is an example: http://laplaceusa.com/mahcontab.html If this is what he is referring to I would guess the point is that this is a fancy grown-up furniture sort of thing you would see in your aunt's house. It is generally used to store napkins and table linens ("sheets"). Which means this could be the first of the many songs that reference Johan leaving the band for the family life. Is the mahogany cyprus something he saw when "they took us in to see their new apartment?" And is there maybe a bit of anger there toward Jonas' girlfriend for taking him away from the band? "We all can wring her neck." Yep. |

| So what is a TPBR? I'm used to going into a bar and ordering a PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon), but what's the T? | |

I always thought the 2nd line was: Fighting off the girl in the 70's glasses (I think I like my line better than the real one) |

| Mew – Behind The Drapes Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Does anybody wonder about the title? At first I thought, OK, behind the drapes, things that go in in private that aren't known in public...but then I had to laugh at myself when I realized what it probably refers to. As in: Well, for nine days A small moth has tried to escape Our bedroom And that is where the moth is stuck no doubt--behind the drapes!! |
