Major Label Debut

That's funny that it's "And I'm on the town" I always thought he was sinigng, "And I'm all coked up." Silly me.

and i think it might be "put my suicide on the guest-list..."

I hear "Put masseuse right on the guest list, it's all more possible"

I can't decide what he says in the second part with the guestllist. The "they can wing this" line sounds like he's saying "became weightless".

I love the song so much, especially the fast version.

i thought it was 'I am all hooked up'

agree with masseuse and become weightless. pretty sure "i'm on the town" is "i'm all fucked up"

basically that whole stanza or whatever i believe is:

put masseuse right on the guestlist sign my passport become weightless

and i'm all fucked up

draper street not drippy street

These lyrics are whatever you make them. We'll never know for certain what they are, and that is the way Broken Social Scene intended it. Make the lyrics whatever feels right to you. Just listen to the music. Understand it. Believe in it.

if you listen to the normal (slow) version of this song, you can clearly here it is "I'm all hooked up." I used to think it said "I'm all coked up" when I would listen to the Fast version. Can't be "fucked" because you never hear the "fuh", but a "huh." I can hear "I'm on the town" as well, but I don't think whoever was singing in this song mumbles his words that much... unless that was the intention. Who knows? Living the big city life can many times coincide with drug usage (esp. cocaine). Therefore, all of these could fit in. Which, in that case, leads me to believe this song is about drug consumption (maybe addiction, but I don't see any metaphors alluding to dependence, just usage). However, I suck at interpreting lyrics... and I could be completely off. I'm really just basing it on "I'm all hooked up" and "I'm just coming coming here to come down." Of course, there could always be symbolism behind that. Words can be translated, interpreted and understood as many ways as there are people who read them.
