Cover art for Gypsy Rose Lee lyrics by Distillers, The

When I see lay down Under pink lacquered skies Baby, I'll give you something That'll shut your eyes To this mess

(this is to do with the drug abuse and the pain of the world. the drugs ease the heartache of everyday pain we go threw.)

When I love you baby I mean it more than just the whole world And when, I take a picture thats instant Lost tonight, oh baby it burned (burns)

(a picutre thats instant means an image thats captured in your head and memorised for a life time. lost tonight means how it isnt there its a photographic memory.)

I said I remember it so, I saw your eyes Go through the tunnel, and I remember

(this means how when she first layed eyes on tim her former husband the world stood still and it was like she was looking threw a tunnel and only he was at the other end.)

Australian sun, I was eight years old You were Marilyn Monroe...

(marilyn monroe was her love/idol at the time of her childhood before she met tim.)

Ohahhhya gotta Take it, oh ya take it on, playing backyard Blues, blackheart stuck up in their jaw

(relating to her childhood, black heart is a band so it must of been songthings she sang as a child.)

I can nail, I'll nail this on, Oh she ate the whole world break it down

(she took in the whole world)

Oh I've tasted, I tasted too, too many nights Lost in space, I remember kneeling down Oh my knees caught in the ground

(this is refaring to oral sex)

When I love you baby I mean it more than just the whole world And when saw Gypsy Rose Gypsy Rose... she rose to me

(gypsy rose was telling her her future, one day she will find someone to love.)

I remember a rolling stone Oh rolling on down through your bones Oh ya gotta save, you gotta save your soul well She hates the whole world

(rolling stones the magazine, rolling on down threw your bones is related to music.)

When I love you baby I mean it more than just the whole world And when saw Gypsy Rose Gypsy Rose... she rose to me Baby I love you baby I mean it more than just the whole world And well, when I Know your sin, I know your sin, I know your ways

(rafaring to gypsy rose telling her her future and who she will love the last line refaring to he will in the future create a sin and she will figure him out for who he really is.)

"When I see lay down Under pink lacquered skies Baby, I'll give you something That'll shut your eyes To this mess

(this is to do with the drug abuse and the pain of the world. the drugs ease the heartache of everyday pain we go threw.)"

i think the thing she gives could also be her love ... so she gives somebody so much pure love, that this will be the only thing he/she needs and that her love will make everything alright again

the pink skies could mean the skies of somebody who is in love ... ?
