Tiny Girls Lyrics

well the day begins
you dont want to live
cuz you cant belive
in the one your with
cuz you know her tricks
and you know her past
when she makes a face
you just have to laugh
and ya feel like such a know it all
when you only want just a tiny girl
and ya hope she'll sing

so you turn around
towards the tiny girls
who have got no tricks
who have got no past
yeah thats what ya think
and you hope she'll sing
but she sings of greed
like a young banshee
and she wants for this
and she wants for that
ah what did ya think?

This is basically about how he thought that the young groupies he slept with at the time, sable (13) and lori. How they were basically just as money grabbing as the other girls in his life even though they were so young.

I think this is a bit of machismo or misogyny, not of the superficial kind, but born of close observation of female behavior, the material greed and relative ruthlessness of women within the patriarchy, their drive for power in relationships. When a middle-aged man discovers these traits in a partner of his own age, he begins to squint at young girls, since they are more erotically attractive to him anyway, only to find later that these supposedly innocent creatures begin to share the same traits as older women develop. The frustration that a man finds rooted in gender relations hasn't changed since the 1970s. Luckily, the trend of consuming drugs as a reaction to this insult (one of many that life has in store for a man) has weakened.

[Edit: style]

@BewlayBrother spot on to me. great observation of a great song!
