A Gentleman Caller Lyrics
Your gentleman caller
Well, he's been calling on another
He loves his forbidden fruit
And as it dribbles down his chin
He cries "Baby I've been drinking with some friends
Now how about a little kiss?"
Bad boy
Rub his nose in it
What a mess
And he's playing dumb
I'm not looking for a lover
All those lovers are liars
I'd never lie to you
You say you want to get even?
You say you want to get your bad man good?
Well, are you in the mood?
You bad girl
Doesn't it feel good?
Being bad, and get worse
But in the morning
On the sober dawn of Sunday
You're not sure what you have done
Who told you love was fleeting?
Sometimes men can be so misleading
To take what they need from you
Whatever you need to make you feel
Like you've been the one behind the wheel
The sunrise is just over that hill
The worst is over
Whatever I said to make you think
That love's the religion of the weak
This morning we love like weaklings
The worst is over
The worst is over
The worst is over
I cant believe no one has commented on this song yet. Its amazing. Cursive is such a talented band. This song seems to be about some sort of an affair someone was having in a relationship...I know Tim went through a divorce or something...I could be wrong.
the breakdown of this song is breathtaking..."whatever you need to make you feel, like you've been the one behind the wheel, the sunrise is just over that hill, the worst is over."
yes i definately agree. the doodoodoodoododod is amazing too, i love how at it trails back into that at the end of the cd
my favorite line is " what ever i said to make you think that love's the religion of the weak, this morning we love like weaklings, the worst is over" there is a lot of trash out there, but this c.d. is a reminder that music is an art form that must be preserved.
Cursive is the definition of amazing. I think that it's yet another song dedicated to his ex-wife, talking about her new love interest, who ends up being a jerk. "Sometimes men can be so misleading, to take whatever they need from you." He's a jackass, a womanizer, who's just misleading her to "get some" and whatnot. He's not saying that he deserves her back, he's saying, "oh well, you got royally screwed." It's a slap in the face.
i had downloaded a few cursive songs, then my brother bought the album. after just listening to one song and looking at the liner notes, i went out and bought it and i am happy. it is a great album, front to back. it opened me up to all of cursive as well as other saddle creek/conor oberst projects.
funky song... i like it.. sweet lyrics and the vocals do well with them.
this song is just amazing & anything else by cursive is too.
C'mon kids. It's not so hard to figure out. It's about a woman whose husband is cheating on her ("he's been calling on another/ he loves his forbidden fruit"), so she cheats on him to get back at him ("You say you want to get even... Does it feel good being bad?"), and the next day she regrets it ("But in the morning... you're not sure what you have done").
it's only me or this song both the way it's built musically and the overall theme reminds of excerpts?
