| Steely Dan – Pretzel Logic Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I think these are the sentiments of an underachiever who had plans to do great thinks but is having the self-realization that it has become too late and he has missed his opportunity. Napoleon in this context is Napoleon Hill, the grandfather of self-help books who wrote Think and Grow Rich. Fagan is saying he'd like to do everything in that book but he procrastinated. When he did finally get a job interview even his fashion was out-dated where did you get those shoes? Ambition is overtaken by time. Genius song. | |
