Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
It started when we were dancing
It got heavy when we got to the bathroom
We didn't go back to her place
We went to some place where she cat-sits
She said, "I know I look tired, but everything's fried here in Memphis"
Man, they want to know exactly which bathroom
Dude, does it make any difference?
It can't be important
Yeah, sure, I'll tell my story, again
In bar-light, she looked all right
In daylight, she looked desperate
That's all right, I was desperate too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I think she drove a new Mustang
I guess it might be a rental
I remember she had satellite radio
I guess she seemed a bit nervous
Do you think I'm that stupid?
Well, what the hell
I'll tell the story, again
In bar-light, she looked all right
In daylight, she looked desperate
That's all right, I was desperate, too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
alcoholandirony already said what it's about. The Hold Steady don't really have a need for a website like this in a sense. the songs are all somewhat explicit. whereas other lyricists like to throw in different lines that can be taken a number of ways, craig just describes a scene or situation. whereas most songwriters aim toward a traditionally pretentious version of poetry, craig, in a style similar bukowski melds poetry and prose accompanied by head bopping melodies. it's cinematic in it's scope and quick characterization. we know these people. they might be based on the guy next to you at the bar.
