Big Cheese Lyrics

I always thought that it was about Sub Pop's pressure on the band.

Big cheese - make me --Self explainitory "MAKE ME!"

Mike says, "Go [to] the office" -- Mike tells them to go to the guys at Sub Pop, sort it out

Mike says, "What'd they say?" --Obviously the first thing you'd ask once you got out. Black is black, shade it back We weren't enemies -- Sub Pop told them to do it the way they heard it, not any different. This makes the band mad, obviously.

Sure you are, but what am I? --"Fine then, You're the boss, so am I your monkey?"

Big lies - make mine --Chad Channing's takes weren't used for Floyd and Paper Cuts.

Mike said "What'd ya say" --Possibly a more impatient Mike saying the same as before.

She needs glue, how bout you? -- About A Girl sounded "bad" to the Sub Pop guys.

Just my own interpretation... Havn't heard the song in a long time though, just found the studio version on Youtube.
