| Shawn Colvin – The Facts About Jimmy Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about a troubled character, Jimmy, from the perspective of a woman who sees him as somebody "everyone falls in with". Jimmy sounds to be a reckless man who can't commit to a woman or any responsibilities which "he can't get out from under". His wife is living "somewhere colder", which indicates she too has fallen by the wayside. Jimmy "broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts" doing some petty crime and is headed to prison, most likely. Look into his eyes. They'll rock you like thunder. He's a disturbed individual. The woman reporting about Jimmy has had to quit drinking lately and she misses her wine as much as Jimmy. The wine made her "wretched" but gave her heart, as did Jimmy. There IS "somebody for everyone" but there is still no one for her but Jimmy. These are the facts about Jimmy. |

| Suzanne Vega – Caramel Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it's more about the woman being faithful to HER partner. Or at least fully giving her heart to someone else after being with this man because he totally consumes her. She knows she can't have him the way she wants to have him. She doesn't just want sex. She can't "stir a deep desire, fan a hidden fire" because it cannot ever really be. | |
