| Blaze Foley – Clay Pigeons Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
Dictionary.com says a Clay Pigeon is American slang for "a person who is easily taken advantage of, especially due to being in a position of vulnerability." https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/clay+pigeon So when taking into account the other lyrics, he is helping desperate and vulnerable people, but not really changing them or their circumstances. There is an understanding that he can't change the world, or be a saviour. But he can give the clay pigeons a bit more clay, bulk them up a bit, play them song, and maybe just help them get by a little longer. |
