| I just put up a post then scrolled up and saw that great minds do think alike haha I basicaly had the same interpretation my post is down 2 if you would like to read it. It is hard to imagine that most people haven't come across this idea. i felt it was obvious... most people try to inertprit songs by relating them to things in their own life. Again great post and I agree completely... | |

my friends and i have debated the meaning of this song for a long time now... In my opinion I believe he is refering to a homeless man or a street performer and the statue of liberty and it's representation of freedom... I have put my opinions in quotations for each verse below. The woman that I love Is forty feet tall She's a movie star She's all in the papers "the statue of liberty is extreamly tall and has been in more movies than you can count" And everywhere i go People hand me quarters And they pat me on the back They treat me like im famous "again a homeless man or street performer probly street performer new york being the most popular place for both and being handed quarters and treated like your famous for performing on the streets of new york is very common just ask the under wear cowboy in time square" I'll never leave her side 'Cause today can be dangerous And when the night arrives The light hit her features And the cars drive by Just so they could see her And she never bats an eye When someone takes her picture "He wont leave america because the world is in parrel and the lights hit the statue at night revealing hidden features, the statue is the one thing that people will want to see even if only for a second threw a car window" "I would agree with a previous meaning that it's a billboard of a movie star but people usually don't take pictures of billboards nor drive out of their way just to see one" Mr.Officer if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah "no one can take his freedom without a fight" If i had a pistol I'd brandish it and wave it "freedom to bare arms" She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy She's gonna testify on my behalf Down at the Navy So I can get some peace And provide for my babies "the opportunity to defend your country and provide for your family" I got a stick and a bottle I'll pretend I got a razor Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station They say that a wild man defending his lady But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting "This last part i still can't decipher i'm not sure about the painting part it's the only part that could be refering to a billboard of sorts" |
