Back To The Lake Lyrics

Now, just because Bob's lyrics are overly cryptic or esoteric, doesn't mean their just nonsense. The guys written thousands of songs, he's got a muse. The twisted, perverted narratives give the band their quirk. The clues are here for a kind of sequel to A Salty Salute. Perhaps this is the same "lake."

"The bus will get you there yet To carry us to the lake The club is open."

Here it seems like a more personal call, to one individual who has fallen out with Bob and his drinking buddies. It could be a girl or just a friend that Bob pissed off in his drunkenness.

You are correct sir.
