Big Business Lyrics
BIG
b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s
He's an engima
wrapped up
in a conundrum
He's a mystery
tragic
like an ailing paramedic
My heart BOOMs to see you're still standing
I know that your faiths can be demanding
with those cables all plugged in your head
In Poughkeepsie I thought you were dead
Ed Edge
He's Ed Edge
Ed.
He's an engima
wrapped up
in a conundrum
He's a mystery
tragic
like an ailing paramedic
Like me tell you about Ed Edge...
Mexico City
He's a Buddhist, Christian, paramedic, vegan, straight
edge pimp
but most of all..
BIG
He's BIG
Under an attack of the heart
He knows the sign
holds it close to his heart
all the time
He's a believer, a healer
a sexuality stealer
Where have you been Ed
where are you going to?
He drifts on soul tides
from island birth
..he arrives
golden heart and black hands
A human male. He's just a man.
Where have you been Ed
where are you going to?
Where have you been Ed
where are you going?
b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s
wrapped up
in a conundrum
tragic
like an ailing paramedic
I know that your faiths can be demanding
with those cables all plugged in your head
In Poughkeepsie I thought you were dead
He's Ed Edge
Ed.
wrapped up
in a conundrum
tragic
like an ailing paramedic
Mexico City
edge pimp
but most of all..
holds it close to his heart
all the time
a sexuality stealer
where are you going to?
from island birth
..he arrives
golden heart and black hands
A human male. He's just a man.
where are you going to?
Where have you been Ed
where are you going?

its about Ed Edge's large penis named "Big Business". they talk about it in an interview on their website...
Yes, this song is about Ed Edge, their merch guy and Triangle player. The title comes from his penis.
Also - in the breakdown they spell out "E-D E-D-G-E... Edge!"
"Mexico fucking city!" :D
Is this about straight edge kids?
i wonder if this song is about their merch guy who's always at their shows. The song has prominent triangle in it and the merch guy sometimes plays triangle (sometimes dressed as an egg or pizza) with them live. Also this line: "golden heart and black hands A human male. He's just a man." If i remember correctly, I think the merch guy is black, so that kinda supports it too. I could be wrong but it seems like a thank you to that guy.
oh, also the song is called big business, and that merch guy is involved with the business end of their shows.
So Ed, he is the "Merch" guy? For some reason I always thought his name was Tim, maybe Tom? No? Historically bands play around with names and such and seems to me that most people like to remain anonymous when they haven't given permission to be in the spotlight.
Slightly off topic, I was reading an article about Winneke and what he thinks of his own band is pretty funny... he says he thinks the band is "very reckless and "immature" and "have no idea what they're doing".
Well its not like they are being cruel or hurting anyone so what the heck right? Its all in good FUN.
Oops forgot to say, I've always been partial to House of Boo, just stunning imagery there.
here's a page for Ed Edge: http://www.myspace.com/ededge seeing as he's friends with the guitarist for HORSE, there's a HORSE video up, and he looks like the merch guy, i think this song is about him.
