| Squeeze – Take Me, I'm Yours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The narrator is using his tales of adventure as a seduction technique, much as Othello does: I will a round unvarnished tale deliver Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, What conjuration and what mighty magic, For such proceeding I am charged withal, I won his daughter. Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances, Of moving accidents by flood and field, Of hair-breadth 'scapes i' the imminent deadly breach, Of being taken by the insolent foe And sold to slavery, of my redemption thence And portance in my travels' history. |

| Squeeze – Goodbye Girl Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's a straightforward story as NAwlinsC says. Just wanted to point out that "Goodbye Girl" is intended three ways: * "Goodbye, girl", won't be seeing you again (with regret), and * Goodbye Girl, the lady's profession -- she takes men for what they have and bids them goodbye. * "Goodbye, girl" again, this time for his wife who has now moved away. |

| Agreeing with Molk. It's four stories with a common message about the difference between perceived cool and hard reality. | |
| Squeeze – Another Nail in My Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Bearhunter's got it. He drove her out by not being there, though in his view he was trying to be "good" by keeping out of her way. She couldn't take that, and left, and now all he's got is the bar. | |
| Squeeze – Is That Love? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
One of my favorite Squeeze songs and not just because I heard it first on the radio and within the first few bars said "New Squeeze! Cool!" A catchy bouncy tune with easy-to-get lyrics, not profound but pretty wise. Simple message is that love isn't just that big chemical Romeo rush you get when you first meet someone -- it's still being able to live with them years later. When her "assets have dropped", and you're "not so hot", will she leave your ring by the soap or give you teasing glances? Will she make your bed, or beat you up with walk-out notes? |
