The Count Of Monte Christo

the bee reference refers to the change the count goes under. He starts the book as a poor and naive sailor and a friend takes advantage of this and the count ends up in jail where he becomes angry and bitter and bent on revenge - kinda like uma therman in kill bill. (i.e he is no longer sweet to others like honey is sweet but is still a bee which can sting). when he escapes he comes into alot of money by finding treasure, creates the alias the count of monte christo and starts his revenge. In this song, its almost as if she has fallen in love with the count and is trying to get through to him but instead hes so bent on revenge she doesnt get a look in. When she says he gives her a penny for her thoughts, she reffering to the genourous nature that the count gives out his money. He doesnt give her a penny, he gives her more but wont accept the change. Hes kind but will never love her. Thats what i think anyway

love this song has this red hot chili peppers mixed with led zeppelin feel to it

hmmm i submitted these lyrics but it says i didn't

i see the led zep thing.

mm love this song. i like the bit where the guitar stops and its just the two singing a harmony. thats so well done. what a talent

it's actually the count of monte CRISTO it's a book by Alexander Dumas (he's also the one who wrote the three musketeers)

I dont' see the connection between the count of monte cristo and the bee though:S

no the song title IS Christo, from their album What;s the time mr. wolf http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Time-Mr-Wolf-Noisettes/dp/B000O58ZY4

it's so beautiful, but I can't figure out the meaning... =[

I'm not sure if I have a different version, but those lyrics aren't right.

From what I hear they're:

So the Count of Monte Cristo, Threw the cape over his head, And gave me a penny for my thoughts, But wouldn't get no change. Just old age rhythms, They were singing in his brain for, A mechanical crusade tried to shoot down his airplane.

But I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee. I see, you see, I'm stung, you've got a hold on me. I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold...

You are...

Wanna make you feel so special, It's time to break the ice, Bless you and your wicket ways, For I guess that these are strange days, But the tact much change, For the duchess to revile her face,
I'd give you all my pennies for your gallantry at tomorrow's gate.

When I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold on me, I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold on me, I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold on me, I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold...

So the Count of Monte Cristo, Threw the cape over his head, Gave me a penny for my thoughts, But wouldn't get no change, Just old age rhythms, They're all singing in his brain for, A mechanical crusade, Tried to shoot down his airplane.

But I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold on me,
I see, you see, Aint no more honey from this bee, I see, you see, I'm stung you've got a hold on me, oh!

A stung you've got a hold on me. A stung you've got a hold on me. A stung you've got a hold on me. So, so, so, God I love you so. There aint no more honey bee. But you can't, can't, can't You wont get me to my knees. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no.

I see.

i think you got it, kitcat. i didn't understand what the bee was about, but i think you're right. thanks
