Crawling With Idiot Lyrics
It's crawling with idiot
I'm itching to leave
I'm soft with fatigue I need something
I've never seen anything quite like you
In here
Come on it's not serious
I just need arms tonight
You're blue collar pride
And you're loose cotton cool
You're wilting a little
Nothing grows down here
Chrome
Smoke
Heat
Me and you
I'm itching to leave
I'm soft with fatigue I need something
In here
I just need arms tonight
And you're loose cotton cool
You're wilting a little
Nothing grows down here
Smoke
Heat
Me and you

FREAKIN AWSOME!
I think this song is about a guy going to a bar that isn't very nice, and then meeting a girl there, and trying to convince her to spend just one night with him.
and as far as I remember some interviews with Guy I think the girl was a barmaid and the guy was Guy and a bunch full of drunk folks... But when I think how Guy sings this I wonder why he could not convince the barmaid...he sounds so heartrending lovable there...
A good old-fashioned 'torch song', full of aching and yearning and need... but there's no pretence of it being a need for true love, just a need for a moment of connection with someone, anyone. It's a song about that slightly sweet loneliness you feel when drunk and alone in the early hours.
Just a beautiful song. It should be "Your blue collar pride" not "you\'re"; "And your loose cotton cool" not "you\'re".\n\nThe narrator sees someone in a seedy bar filled with drunken louts. Clearly he feels "above" them, but he especially feels that this beauty he sees could do better and desires her. He feels he would be better for her than the "idiots" she seems to hang out with.\n\nTo me this is a beautiful evocation of that feeling we\'ve all had where we\'re lonely and see someone who makes us feel longing and an ache to be with them. It could even be someone we know and have a crush on. But in this case it\'s a stranger in a bar.
