Ache Lyrics

This song puts me in the mind of a whimsical cartoon skit put to music. Like something you might see on Animaniacs or a similar program. I like the vivid descriptions in the lyrics and the directness and simplicity of the story. I don't necessarily think the song has a double meaning but all theories are interesting to me.

I really like the part where she sings: "Well along with my teeth my money also left me As he made out the bill, I was moaning" I suspect the size of the bill hurt almost as much as the tooth had!

This song was written by Eric, and you can see his sense of humor come through. I love it.
