Cover art for Hotel Yorba lyrics by White Stripes, The

i agree with rebelpancake.......first jack and meg WERE married.. but the got seperated/divorced....but decided to keep the band together. And u can hear traces of "country" (really southern blues) in just about all there songs if u have a good ear, and a chunk of their tunes are covers of Blind willie Mctell and other black blues and slide artists from the 30s

So I take it that is why in the music vid she is tied to him. Basically making a statement of, If I marry anyone my Ex is coming along no matter what?
