| Neil Young – The Old Laughing Lady Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think ruarchitect is right on. The Laughing Lady: What a great symbol of addiction. First it is fun and the lady is laughing with you. Soon though you come to need her and her laughter turns to a taunting laughter at you. Later her laughter becomes a sadistic cackle at what she has done to you. Verse 1 Pretty Peggy is probable a young addict who has overdosed. Verse 2 Probablly refers to the homless addict that has lost everything to addiction. Verse 3 The hopeless addict that will never quit even though they know it will kill them in the end. Verse 4 The addicted driver who drives home every night, stumbles upstairs in a stuper and fights with their spouse. Eventually shooting or killing them and not even caring as long as they have their drug of choice. |
