Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics 16 years ago
To me, there's no other party envolved in this song. He's singing to himself. He's encouraging himself to forget his problems and such.



"Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars"

It seems to me that perhaps he's speaking about jail bars; and not a literal kiss. So maybe he's convincing himself to do something raunchy enough that would land him in jail because then he goes onto say:

"Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught"

"Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot"

This just states that the person he is when drunk is the person he likes the best. Wonderful song; one of my favorites by good old Elliott.
