Cover art for The Professor & La Fille Danse lyrics by Damien Rice

this song takes on so many different means in so many different ways in so many different aspect of my life...if that makes any sense atall..i've been through almost every line... "Loving is fine if you have plenty of time For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind"...i had time to worry or much less the mindset not to worry all the time about something love would suit me just fine..i don't and so it doesn't (or didn't rather). "And what makes a man? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know No I don't know you any more" when you think you've found the one person (male/female), that one person you never question, never even think could do you wrong..it twists about in the most impossible ways...until you don't even know them anymore.. "Well closer to god is the one who's in love ...Too many options may kill a man Loving is fine if it's not in your mind" in my case the first line tis true...much closer to god (the easier and happier everything is) for the one whose in love.. too many options (to many women) can kill or break a man...turn him into someone he, or anyone no longer recognizes...loving is all good as long as you can keep it soley physically and keep the mentality (emotion) out of it..(i never could learn how to do that..even with the worst of them) "Loving is good if it's not understood Yeah, but I'm the professor And feel that I should know What makes her come and what makes her stay?" the professor just holds a special connotation for me..enough said much better left "not understood".."what makes her come.." "And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick" jealousy just makes everything that much more worse..even when you want it to go away...it won't. ...and then finally when he sings in french..oh my good graciousness....my best friend and i nearly have an orgasm everytime we hear this...his voice is utterly beautiful....plus one of my good friends always speaks in french when she's high..reminds me hauntingly of a certain night...
