Cover art for Watermelon lyrics by Boxer Rebellion, The

well, honestly, i don't know what this song is about and i wonder does anybody knows this band? if so, then why there's so little number of comments on their other songs and most of them don't even have any comments.

This song is all about living the life of a famous rocker, loaded with money, free to do what he wants and careless of life and love.

"Inside i was restless, Left awake to the clocks, Outside wailing helpless, Ridden out by the locks."

This means the people outside of his riches are helpless people that don't know a careless life like he has. Being awake to the clocks could mean that he's afraid of getting old.

"You said you want diamonds, Well i think you'll like pearls, and said you want cigarettes, well i think i want girls."...
