Jack White – Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy Lyrics 13 years ago
Agreed, seems glaringly obvious, not Jacks usual subtle shout outs to different ones. But IMO its not bitter. I think its accepting how things are.
(I'll be happy for you, cause you got nothing to do)
(Keep on stayin the same aint nobody to blame)
(let the stripes unfurl)-sounds positive, like tws is still a part of what he's doing now
Meg was nervous on stage and maybe he's good with that.
(don't get out of your chair put a bow in your hair, you might be makin em stare)
(leave the care to the poor boy)

The Dead Weather – So Far from Your Weapon Lyrics 14 years ago
When I heard this song, it seemed so clear what it meant, until I double checked who was credited with writing the song. Seeing it was Mosshart not White was surprising because to me this song has Meg and Jack all over it, figured it was a song he had written earlier and carried over to TDW. Guess it goes to show how many different ways lyrics can go. Here was my take on it just in case Jack had a hand in these lyrics! Whatever, the song and the album is great!

'I tried to give you whiskey but it never did work',you wanna go home', 'you wanna get up, let go, i said no'....based on statements that Meg's performance anxiety led to canceled tours in the last years of TWS and the statement Meg made that she warmed up with whiskey and redbull before shows

'the place where you were born' ...this is direct and has got to be significant who knows though what it could mean, when relating to Meg, MI where she was born and lives with her fiancee now husband works

'suddenly your begging me to do so much work'...doesn't want to do the shows doesn't help as much with the shows

'bullet in my pocket'....this to me was physical, modern day cupids arrow as in the band name Bullet For My Valentine, or if the anatomy can shoot blanks why not bullets :D

'Right away from the get go the bullet was cursed Ever since i had you every little thing hurts'...their past relationship

And in the longshots, this last one is the longest shot of all:
You dream of seeing fire in them hills....Scotland is a country most known for hills, beautiful in fall, both Jack and Meg are of Scottish descent, TWS played shows in the place of their roots, maybe she loved the country.
'Which one of us will be the one to go He who hits the roads the one who lives'...Jack back out on tour, that is life, living to him, and back to Scotland eventually?

This is totally wrong I know, but I wish it to be true. Jack and Meg always had such a sexual energy in their shows, part of which made them amazing to see. Even though they are both happily remarried, well, you never get over your first real love, even if happier the next time around ;)
