Considering some albums' liner notes are ocasionally printed with incorrect lyrics, what can we say about websites? But hey, maybe Francis sings both "tire/tyre" and "Tiger" alternately, we'll probably never know for sure until somebody gets to ask the man himself. |

| Agreed, it's clearly "tire" if you listen to live version. | |

| Also, there's no particular theme in the album, seeing as how the lyrics reference surrealist films ("Debaser"), autobiographical events ("Crackity Jones"), biblical stories ("Dead" and "Gouge Away") and sex ("Tame", "La La Love You"), to name a few. | |

The album title actually comes from track #8, "Mr. Grieves", which references the literary character Dr. Doolittle. The song is really about hobos and earthquakes in California. Here's a quote from 2010: "BLACK FRANCIS: I wrote that when I was about 14 or 15. It’s on an earlier demo. Not sure what it’s about. I think it has to do with the hobo lifestyle. It’s all very abstract, the hobo lifestyle and the Great California Earthquake or something. Something crazy and weird like that." (Source: http://www.phawker.com/2010/09/07/rawk-tawk-dissecting-doolittle-with-black-francis/) There's also the one someone already posted from the 1989 NME interview. |
