Cheap Like Sebastien

Mm another good one from AOH.

It could be about... true honesty in life? Perceptions versus true realities...

Something you can't deny, even though we always want to.

I got a few lyric corrections for you that I noticed from listening to the song: I’m reckless there’s one [Gate iron key] All those foolish things [like sleep] A true professional is [batting it in so] just do whatever they say

Other than that I'm glad you put this up. :)

prostitution?

This song is beautiful. I love it, it just makes me want to get up and dance. I especially like how the very start makes it seem like the song is going to go off into some completely different style. And that hypnotic guitar riff that starts out soft, hammers out really loud and then fades out again and again during the last two verses... fantastic. I have no idea what this song is about. I'm not even sure if I want to know. The only other thing I have to say is that I think the line "A true professional is batting her eyes" is actually "A true professional is bound to get in", hence the next line saying that you just should do what they say, anyway.

Here's the actual lyrics from the booklet. However, there are some differences from what the booklet says and the actual words in the song...but only a few.

The smallest truth shines the brightest A tiny undeniable fire The smallest truth was found hiding You're scared but you're not a liar Cheat like Sebastien/ cheat like Sebastien

My life is desperate but it's private I'm reckless there's one gate I unkeep Spent the weekend in Niagara Falls It was new it was love it was cheap Cheap like Sebastien/ cheap like Sebastien

Substitute status for strata and wait All those foolish things like sleep Awake we thought that was so real I stare and stare but still don't feel I feel like Sebastien/ I feel like Sebastien

A true professional is bound and then acts So just do whatever they say Innocent times they just distract The arrows of love make pain The arrows of love make pain The arrows of love make pain & now

Here comes Sebastien

The writer of the song (Jason Collett) is referring to fellow musician Sebastien Grainger.

I've been told the song is about a character named sebastien in a cheap porn film the band watched while staying in niagra falls for a weekend and if you watch the music video Whiteman looks like he stole his clothes from a bad porno
