I agree with GeoVII, but hey what fantastic lyrics! I love the line (how does it feel) 'to be a chalkline dollar sign' It's not Jeff Lynne it's referring to with 'Mrs LYNN' (sorry i don't have an answer!), although being a massive ELO fan i would love it to be a tip of the hat to him. Someone who can write such intelligent lyrics is unlikely to mis-spell the person they are (partly) writing about and secondly Jeff Lynne/ELO or even Travelling Wilburys were anything but one hit wonders. It would be particularly apt if it were regarding Jeff Lynne as he doffed his cap to the Beatles in his lyrics many times. Finally, i do love the irony of Jellyfish effectively writing about a one hit wonder, it's a crying shame this was never the massive hit it deserves to be. I enjoy introducing younger friends to it as many have never heard it and they without fail seem to love the song. Genius. |

i always thought 'du bist sehr schon' was 'did the session'...but we haven't been introduced.. funny I still think that's a better lyric! heard it in Venezuela when travelling and loved it. one club played it every night and my Venezuelan friend got me to translate into Spanish. Had no idea there was a German line in it. i suppose the reason i thought it was 'did the session' is the overall feeling of the song about unprotected random sexual encounters whilst being mangled. not to mention benefit cheats that still insist on their 2 weeks holiday in Greece. Poor Greece, lol. |
