Phonytown Lyrics

Cover art for Phonytown lyrics by Rogue Wave

it seems every great band has some song about their disillusionment with the music industry... and I suppose this is rogue wave's. "the toast of midem" might refer to this giant music trade fair held in Cannes, France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midem). perhaps someone in the band or the whole band was there... All the lines about they'll kick you when you're down, phony town, your friend until you need her, they suggest a dog-eat-dog, vicious music industry where everyone's after money, even if it means hurting "friends" or whatever. hollywood or somewhere in LA maybe?

I Love This Song. "They'll kick you when your down," so perfectly describes being double-crossed and abondened. One of my top 5 favorite Rogue Wave songs definitly.
