The Tragically Hip – Locked In The Trunk Of A Car Lyrics 4 years ago
@[laurieloo82:37859] My belief is the intro to Locked In the Trunk of a Car is one of Gord's greatest lyrical artistic references. To get into the mind of a serial killer, Gord had definitely read Thomas Harris' Red Dragon and was referencing the serial killer character Francis Dolarhyde's psychotic obsession with the Thomas Blake painting "The Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in the Sun". The Red Dragon is the demon -
They don't know how old I am
They found armor in my belly
From the sixteenth century
Conquistador, I think
They don't know how old I am
They found armor in my belly

Never read this theory anywhere before. Just my belief on Gord's take here. Incredible song. And this is just the intro. You read it here first.
