Lucky is a cat. Everyone else is out getting high but they are looking for a missing cat. But it's kinda fun anyway. |

"past the Thames River, glistening like gold
hastily sold for nothing."
Is this about Gordon Brown selling off our gold reserves for f all? |

Billy didnt like this song, he mentioned that Blank was a b-side on one of the MCIS singles and he didnt like that song either much, but it was better than Towers of Rabble. |

| Pavement – Silence Kid Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
"Due to an ink splodge on the back of the original artwork, the song "Silence Kid" has become erroneously known as "Silence Kit". This misnomer persisted when designer Mark Ohe printed it onto the back of the re-issue Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA's Desert Origins, despite the interior artwork showing the correct name in print several times, including written in Stephen Malkmus's own handwriting."
THE SONG IS CALLED "SILENT KID"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It's impossible to get a definitive interpretation imo, like with many songs. However, there are a lot of heroin references. Those who think it's about pot have probably only even done pot. |

| Rush – The Temples of Syrinx Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
|
In classical mythology, Syrinx (Greek Συριγξ) was a nymph and a follower of Artemis, known for her chastity. Pursued by the amorous Greek god Pan, she ran to the river's edge and asked for assistance from the river nymphs. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water reeds that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thence forth known as syrinx. |

It's a dig at Billy Corgan, that's why the song "Suffer" is sampled. Tricky has said in an interview that he thinks Corgan is exceedingly pretentious. |

I too thought it was "hole" and it made me really hate this song, the dirty bastards. I hope they washed it thoroughly. Not a big Reef fan I have to say, but at least I know it isnt hole anymore. Thank fuck for that. |

Bit of a Blur rip-off this one but probably one of the best on the album. At least the singer doesnt do an Adam Ant OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! before the chorus on this one.... |

I read on another forum a comment from someone who thinks this song rips off Cornershop's "Brimful of Asha". I can sort of see the similarity in rhythm but I dont think this song rips it off at all. |

No it's not specifically about a peadophile, I think it's about the stereotypic image a lot of people have of tramps/bums. A lot of them do aye pretty girls as they go past. It's only human nature really, they have hormones like the rest of us, and not much to do but watch people going by, drink cheap booze, search for dog-ends etc. Stuck in a rut. |

I think it's about the drive you have when you're younger, and how you lose it as you get older and you end up just riding out your time. |

ok so we have some people who think the last verse is the most important, and others who think it is the least important issue. Which is it? I really dont know, I dont think it's clear. |

James Iha's back up vocals were recorded just after he ate 5 Twinkies, 2 packs of M&M's, and a big glass of Mountain Dew. I remember reading that somewhere about 10 years ago. Anyway that's why he sounds a bit screwy! |
