He Thinks He'll Keep Her Lyrics
Terribly sad. All about believing your life would work out one way and being wrong.
This is my favorite MCC song, and I don't find it sad at all! I find it humorous. Seriously, look at women in our life. They all do this: they all forget themselves for other people. It's incredibly ridiculous and of course I fear that time when I'll probably do the same. however, she leaves him at the end and by doing so, gains her independence, even though she makes no money really. She is still happy, much happier than before, and in a sense, 'sticks it to the man'.
How can this song be taken as sad? I mean, yes I can see that the family will be sad, but this is supposed to be interpreted from her point of view, the suppressed housewife. She finally had enough and left. It is inspiring to me.
I love this song! It's really quite sad, but so true for many!
Frivorcing bitch.
