| Modest Mouse – I Came as a Rat (Long Walk Off a Short Dock) Lyrics | 12 years ago |

If anyone is familiar with the song "Crippled Inside" by john lennon I'd like there opinion on a possible reference made to that song in "I Came as a Rat". In Cripple Inside Lennon says: "You know that a cat has nine lives But you've only got one And a dog's life ain't fun. So momma take a look outside" the possible reference Isaac makes is: "I do not need you to tell me that I'm not a cat" I know It would be a pretty obscure reference if that is in fact what is is. Its apparant what The correlation would be between the line. But on top of that I believe the way isaac delivers the line makes it feel very much like a sarcastic retort to the very obvious but poignant statment lennon makes. Just an interesting idea I wanted to throw out there. And for anyone who isnt familar with the lennon song, treat yourself and look it up. |
