| @[radiofuck:37731] Ok, I know it's like 15 years later, but I got this song off LimeWire way back in the day and loved it. I saw this post and the comments and I've been looking for info on Laces ever since. I've found like a dozen bands/artists by that name, but I can't find anything about this song or band anywhere else on the internet. Just this page. So please, if you're still out there, do you have any information that can help me find out more about them? | |

| @[1thatuwrecked:36024] It's "Mr. Bone", not "Mr. Jones". It's about a woman using him for sex because she's mad at her boyfriend, and he goes along with it because he's lonely. | |

If I'm not mistaken, the first part of the chorus DOES say jokes, while the second part says drugs. As in: if she weren't writing in blood she'd bring him her jokes a new liver and a shovel for the MUD if he were not knee deep in mud he'd bring her his DRUGS he'd get her a typewriter I felt the jokes were what she was writing in blood, and while the typewriter represented a less harmful way of expression, the drugs represented stopping the metaphoric bleeding, healing the wound. But of course he can't do that, because he's trapped in the 'mud'. Personally I always saw it as being about caving to societal pressures and expectations of what a successful couple should be. If you're married, healthy, and have money, you're somehow considered unwhole without children. People assume there must be some medical reason you don't have children yet. And if you CHOOSE not to have kids even though you're fully physically and financially capable of raising them? Then people just assume you're selfish, self-centered yuppies. So people have a family out of a sense of duty, because they feel they owe it, either to others or to themselves, though their heart isn't in it, and it destroys their chances of ever really being themselves. I think Seahighster's example of "The Awakening" is a perfect parallel. Wonderful explaination. |

On the issue of whether or not she knew it was her friend's husband, I believe she did. I think kaleidoscopeeyes8 is dead-on; I see it as the struggle of a woman who unwittingly fell for her friend's lover. Here's my view on how the story progressed: Get a real job, keep the wind to your back And the sun on your face All the immediate unknowns are better Than knowing this tired and lonely fate [I think this is when the friend left, leaving the narrator and their shared 'fate'.] Does he love you? Does he love you? Will he hold your tiny face in his hands? [Her friend met a man; the narrator seems lonely and skeptical, perhaps internally jealous of her friend's relationship.] I guess it's spring; I didn't know It's always seventy-five with no melting snow A married man, he visits me I received his letters in the mail twice a week [She's lonely without her friend, but she's comforted by the affections of her friend's husband, who she most likely met through the friend herself. It's possible the start of this relationship was an unconscious revenge against the friend leaving her.] And I think he loves me And when he leaves her He's coming out to California [She believes she and her friend's husband might really work out together. Maybe she really loves him, or just believes she does to lessen her guilt.] I guess it all worked out There's a ring on your finger And the baby's due out You share a place by the park And run a shop for antiques downtown [I think at this point Narrator's realized not only is her friend not coming back, but the husband isn't going to leave his wife for the narrator.] And he loves you, yeah, he loves you And the two of you will soon become three And he loves you, even though You used to say you were flawed if you weren't free [Narrator's a bit bitter, but she recognizes and accepts the situation.] Let's not forget ourselves, good friend You and I were almost dead And you're better off for leaving Yeah, you're better off for leaving [The narrator acknowledges that the friend did the right thing in leaving, and is where she should be.] Late at night, I get the phone You're at the shop sobbing, all alone Your confession is coming out You only married him, you felt your time was running out [Now that the Narrator has given up, suddenly her friend seems unhappy with the life that the Narrator both envied and resented.] But now you love him and your baby At last you are complete But he's distant and you found him On the phone, pleading, saying "Baby, I love you, and I'll leave her And I'm coming out to California" [The Narrator sees the damage she's caused to her friend's marriage.] Let's not forget ourselves, good friend I am flawed if I'm not free And your husband will never leave you He will never leave you for me [The Narrator concedes defeat, assuring the friend that she is the one the man loves, not the Narrator. This last verse is the Narrator sacrificing not only herself and her hopes for the relationship with the husband, but likely her friendship with the friend for the sake of the friend's relationship. From my view, I believe the Narrator knew all along, though she never intentionally did it out of spite. And I most definitely think the end result is the Narrator realizing she's lost, both the man and likely the friend. I don't think the last verse is her bragging; I think she's giving up, recognising that she never had a chance. The husband will never leave his wife, and now she's lost her friend as well. |
