Man and Wife, the Former (Financial Planning) Lyrics
It seems like the meaning is actually more satirical... the husband does "love" the wife, and he wants to show that, yet to achieve their now customary "dreams" of middle-class life he wastes his day(s) concerned with money. It started innocently enough, as most families do, with a desire for financial security and the "American Dream" yet the husband's, and I use the term liberally because he doesn’t have malicious intent, and it is of negative connotation, rapacity, money becomes his only form of interaction with his wife. His only way to show affection.
i think this is pretty straight forward, like a young couple thinking things are easier than they are. this is my favourite song on the album, i love the riffs, the lyrics are great and it has a brilliant ending
good song.
yes yes...typical conor writings..." you’re feeling trapped or too attached remember we wanted that" and "if you’re feeling sad kind of detached remember we wanted that just remember we wanted it"
i think this is a funny song cuz u know it doesn't really fit conor and what he wants to do with his life.
emo kid what song is that line from?
dude! i'm so stupid i some how skipped over that line and then i just saw it when i was getting the parts i wanted for my profile!!! ok i'm allowed to make a mistake..its 2 in the morning!!!
opps..
mwaaa hahahahahahah hahaa aahahaha aha aha ahaaaa 2:51 tremble in my wake mere mortal ahaha aha aha aaaaahahahahahahhaaaa
are you sure these are the correct lyrics? maybe its just me but i cant seem to find some of what I'm hearing on the page
oh i got it, im listening to the some 'the latter' this is the 'former' lyrics, i understand. very clever doing a song from two viewpoints, although i havent been able to hear the other one yet
i actually have feelings for this song. i especially have feelings for the ending. thank you conor.
