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.
