| Steely Dan – Throw Back The Little Ones Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| To me this song is about an uptown, successful person who goes into the hood to score drugs, heroin in particular. He changes into his street gear and probably adds some swagger to his step to blend in. The chorus involving throwing back the little ones, or bags, and pan frying(in the spoon) the big ones make me think it's not about women. Also the line in which he pawns his crown for a ride uptown i take to mean he hawks his rolex or something for the quick fix knowing he can always come back and buy it later. | |
