All: Well it's true that we love one another
Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother
Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
Holly: Jack give me some money to pay my bills
Jack: All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills
Holly: Jack will you call me if you're able?
Jack: I got your phone number written
In the back of my bible
Holly: Jack I think your pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?
Meg: You know, I don't care because
Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?
Holly: Well I would but Meg
I really just don't know how
Meg: Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'
Jack: Well I would Holly but love really bores me
All: Then i guess we should just be friends
Jack: I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you 'til the end
All: Well it's true that we love one another
Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother
Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
Holly give me some of your English lovin'
Holly: If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and love yourself
Jack: If I did that Holly there won't be anything
Left for anybody else
Holly: Jack it's too bad about the way you look
Jack: You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot
Meg: Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what it's really all about
All: Well it's true that we love one another
Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother
Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother
Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.
Quintessential Aimee Mann.
i think this is Jack just playing on the whole sisiter/wife debate, and it's hilarious!
holly golightly is a solo artist... and since when did london become hooker central?!
dude sweet! billy childish played in my uncle's band the singing loins! this means i'm only four steps away from the white stripes! sha-wing!
"Holly give me some of your English lovin'
If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven Why don't you go off and love yourself?
If I did that Holly there won't be anything Left for anybody else"
Strangely dirty for the White Stripes, but hilarious.
okay people... i just love this song cause it's so goofy and funny... it's great
it's true; it's got an such a fun, innocent feel to it, a nice note to end the album on
who' Holly?
who' Holly?
holly golightly was the name of Audrey Hepburns character in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, old old great great movie. It makes me think that maybe it's just some hooker jack found in London when they were making this record, and he decided to have a duet with her. apparently, ive heard, london has great hookers.
holly was in some obscure band here in the uk i think, i think she may have sang and played guitar
