@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Amphetamine Annie-dog
Has her leash and a face
Her velvet spleen her shackle spine
Her diamond curse
It comes with mine
A vessel she
For violent I
Confession arms a wake
Mine, mine you were always mine
Possessed by my taste
And below the angel dog
Combs her hair and sings her psalms
The bombs go off
She doesn't notice
It all goes wrong
She sets things tragic
She is Venus
She is mars
She's electric
And the struggle of
Upon my face we leave no trace
But in her stomach mercury aged
She holds the blood
She carves the knives
She digs the wives in our babies
Amphetamine Annie-dog
Pulls her trash
And her stories
From place to place
And bed to bed
Gives of herself and the magnet head
Another floor another ceiling
Counting stairs with double meanings
Is it wrong to be swallowed whole
To disappear in her
To give her the priceless peace
Of giving up control
We tumble out into the streets
And Annie-dog she drags her leash
Pretty face
Ugly mouth
Bitter bred and so released
And by the no
And by the yes
Annie goes if you couldn't guess
A simple man
A sycophant
Her elephant with the laughing call
She wants clean sheets
And fresh flowers
And dental shots
And the Hong Kong glue
Amphetamine Annie-dog
Has her leash and a face
Has her leash and a face
Her velvet spleen her shackle spine
Her diamond curse
It comes with mine
A vessel she
For violent I
Confession arms a wake
Mine, mine you were always mine
Possessed by my taste
And below the angel dog
Combs her hair and sings her psalms
The bombs go off
She doesn't notice
It all goes wrong
She sets things tragic
She is Venus
She is mars
She's electric
And the struggle of
Upon my face we leave no trace
But in her stomach mercury aged
She holds the blood
She carves the knives
She digs the wives in our babies
Amphetamine Annie-dog
Pulls her trash
And her stories
From place to place
And bed to bed
Gives of herself and the magnet head
Another floor another ceiling
Counting stairs with double meanings
Is it wrong to be swallowed whole
To disappear in her
To give her the priceless peace
Of giving up control
We tumble out into the streets
And Annie-dog she drags her leash
Pretty face
Ugly mouth
Bitter bred and so released
And by the no
And by the yes
Annie goes if you couldn't guess
A simple man
A sycophant
Her elephant with the laughing call
She wants clean sheets
And fresh flowers
And dental shots
And the Hong Kong glue
Amphetamine Annie-dog
Has her leash and a face

just wanted to point out that cocaine is not an amphetamine... and there is of course an old song called "amphetamine annie"
Yes, darrenr, you are correct, there is a song "Amphetamine Annie" from 1968 by Canned Heat. It was an anti-drug song yet eventually three members of the band died from drug or alcohol abuse. They did not take their own advice!<br /> <br /> On my first listen to Adore I wondered if Billy Corgan knew of that old song. But what the heck does "velvet spleen" mean? Yes, I was born in 1954.
And as you state, Cocaine is not (an) Amphetamine (Dexadrine) - today used to treat ADD/ADHD only. The similar Meth-amphetamine is Speed. Oh, and the line "speed kills" is in the Canned Heat song.
