| Liz Phair – Polyester Bride Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I was actually under the impression he was implying she's a gold digger and that if she wants that kind of guy she needs to find a different place to hang out in. Polyester Bride is a comment for someone who marries and divorces frequently, and alligator cowboy boots are crazy expensive, working folk don't generally wear, it's more oil mogul kind of thing, like marrying the rich old man so you can claim the inheritance after they die (selling the boots). And i think the you've got time bit is implying there's still time for her to find her jack pot if that's whats important to her. I think its also why the song is on the flat side, its like a kind of implied sarcasm. like the bartender is asking "do you really want to be that kind of girl?" (he clearly thinks she can cause he's already letting her drink for free). |

| Clutch – Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| thought this was meaning not,..ironic, never mind, anyway, im pretty sure the entire thing is a reference to the absurd condition in that well, like the "weeble wobble hot rod gang" would be a metaphor for racing back and forth and not getting anywhere. or "yabbadabbado all the way to shangri la" being a trip to a place one can't get to. and that part of the absurd condition is that even though nothing is being accomplished there is an feeling of accomplishment, so "no fun to crack the axel but it's got to be done" and the following "when you wobble the weebles you know they get ticked off" would represent working at a cruddy task and and being up set if someone interupts that task. alburt camus concludes (in the myth of sisyphus) that even though the thought of sisyphus' task sounds terrible if an on looker saw this they would have to assume that sisyphus enjoyed rolling the rock up the mountain only to have it roll down again otherwise he would leave. 'lectric hobo i believe is a reference to electric trains you can look that up yourself or not, its takes some digging even in the electric age. that go around and around,and rock like this heeawe heeawe heeawe. oddly enough im pretty sure the implication is that rock and roll outlaws have nothing to say. good job to those that figured out its a good song. | |
