I suppose no one felt like reading all the comments and going to the site linked by DanVitale? http://www.procolharum.com/awsop_lotgs.htm READ people, only like 3 people who I bet READ before commenting got it right. Its about getting Drunk and trying to and finally successfully getting in the PANTS of a Girl. Nothing to do with Acid or Coke or Holocaust or any of that. Also the writer of the song SPECIFICALLY says that the Millers Tale line has NOTHING to do with Canterbury Tales... "Although, Reid reveals, the reference to Chaucer is a red herring. 'One thing people always get wrong is that line about the Miller's Tale. I've never read Chaucer in my life. They're right off the track there.' " "And yet the verse is essential to an understanding of the song.(The one that was dropped as has been quoted in the comments Daciples Edit) We at last learn that the drunken seduction is consummated, and the sea metaphor reaches its apotheosis in the oblivion and forgetfulness of sex, with a neat pun thrown in as a punch-line." READ people, use your brain the freaking writer of the song out right tells you what its about, trying to get laid while drunk, except done in a vague reference over hauntingly great melody. Great Song, no in depth meaning tho.... |
