Doginabag Lyrics
Well you got it so good you live for the action
Used to be a has been now
You got yourself some satisfaction
A dog in a bag and a bone
Now you lost in the rain
Twenty one million miles from home
You got brand new shoes a healthy fixation
And atomic heart and a two for one education
You're breaking my heart all the way
With yer dog in a bag I need your badness
Just to get through the day
It's a million o'clock too hot to sleep
A rotten taste in my mouth and my eyes are deep
There's nothing much really going on up here
I'm holding on for dear life and one more beer
I guess you could say it's a sick little show
A bottle of troubles and a bed full of wow
It's easy to see without looking too far
You'd have to be a saint to be as sick as you are
Well have the worlds asleep
The rest of them are dreaming
And God forbid you should
Forget to close the door as you're leaving
I'd hate to see you in a bind
With you're dog in a bag sleeping
Next to your ridiculous mind
With you're dog in a bag sleeping
Next to your ridiculous mind
With you're dog in a bag sleeping
Next to your ridiculous mind
Used to be a has been now
You got yourself some satisfaction
A dog in a bag and a bone
Now you lost in the rain
Twenty one million miles from home
And atomic heart and a two for one education
You're breaking my heart all the way
With yer dog in a bag I need your badness
Just to get through the day
A rotten taste in my mouth and my eyes are deep
There's nothing much really going on up here
I'm holding on for dear life and one more beer
I guess you could say it's a sick little show
A bottle of troubles and a bed full of wow
It's easy to see without looking too far
You'd have to be a saint to be as sick as you are
The rest of them are dreaming
And God forbid you should
Forget to close the door as you're leaving
I'd hate to see you in a bind
With you're dog in a bag sleeping
Next to your ridiculous mind
With you're dog in a bag sleeping
Next to your ridiculous mind
With you're dog in a bag sleeping
Next to your ridiculous mind

This doesn't seem to be one of their more popular songs but it's one of my favorites.
This song is pretty nice, not pretty popular but it has a really great rhythm I also love his voice is like a perfect combination of many of my favorite singers.
Musically, this song is almost like a pastiche of Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me Not to Come" (google it if you're too wet behind the ears). Lyrically though, it reminds me of some of the harder numbers on the Beatle's White Album. Catchy little ditty.
This isn't "my" interpretation. This is ChatGPT's interpretation...
It is difficult to say for certain what the meaning behind the song "Doginabag" by The Fratellis might be without additional context or explanation from the band themselves. However, some possible interpretations of the lyrics could include:
The narrator is observing someone who seems to have everything they want, but is still unfulfilled or lost in some way. The "dog in a bag" could symbolize this person's emptiness or unhappiness.
The song could be a commentary on the superficiality of modern life, where people are focused on material possessions and external validation rather than true happiness and fulfillment.
The lyrics could also be interpreted as a commentary on the idea of the "American dream", where people chase a certain lifestyle or status, but find it unfulfilling when they achieve it.
It should be noted that these are just some possible interpretations and the true meaning behind the song can only be confirmed by the band themselves.
I love The Fratellis, but this song has no catchy hooks to get it stuck in your head. It's still good, though. Bit slow, but it's good.
this song is awsum coz its diffetant to the faster pace of the rest of the album nowere near as good as creepin up the backstars tho!!
