Clearly you’re wondering
Glowing so hot from him – pink-like shivers
Turn around, let me tie your string, stand still – this isn’t easy
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired
What’s the difference between what this is and what it was?
Well, you got your pretty white bird and
Well, you got your dove
If that’s what gets you off, I can't compete with the thrilling of Claire
All the after effects of three girls on two girls, I'll just help you finish off
We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Clearly you’re wondering
Glowing so hot from him – pink-like shivers
Turn around, let me tie your string, stand still – this isn’t easy
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired

What’s the difference between what this is and what it was?
Well, you got your pretty white bird and
Well, you got your dove
We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Into the flame and off to the movies

Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
A buncha bondage!?!?! What a weird song; I think it's clever. I assume it's about what men do to be with a woman... A lot apparently! (We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar)
you're exactly right, it's about what men are willing to endure in order to please a woman they care for. The bondage may be a bit too extreme, more likely it's just a metaphor for his attitude toward relationships; pessimistic with a slight touch of masochism; it's Matt's signature.

It sounds like claire is an absolute freak in the sack.
