| The Lemonheads – Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel cover) Lyrics

my pet theory is that this song is not, in fact, about an affair between a young man and older woman as in the film "the graduate", but is really about Mrs Robinson entering a mental institution. I reckon this cos of lines like "we'd like to know a little bit about you for our files - we'd like to help you to learn to help yourself - look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes - stroll around the grounds untill you feel at home" That all sounds like the sort of stuff you might get told at an institution. and hiding it from the kids, and jesus loves you, all sounds like the sort of narrow-mindedness surrounding mental health. |

i love this song! it has to be one of my all time favourites, but i only got into it after hearing 'gene' do a live cover of it. then of course it was a man singing but he changed the words slightly (like 'dress') so it didnt sound too bizarre. it is very rare for me to like any cover versions which just shows that this is a great song and that gene are a geat band who can do it justice. this is just my round about way of plugging gene. check out their lyrics, theyre great. |

had a long love affair at the time when this album came out. still reminds me of all the great times we had together. i know this song is about infidelity but to me it just reminds me of how my boyfriend always had to get the last bus home and how we were so bad at saying goodbye each time. oh to be young again! |

surprised there aren't more comments on this song. i love the line "my wings don't work the way that yours do ", it just seems really sad. |
