Mr. Cardiac Lyrics

Lyric discussion by SilentRobert23 

Cover art for Mr. Cardiac lyrics by Firewater

Probably one of Firewater's less obvious songs. It seems to be written from the perspective of a woman who uses sex appeal to get money from men. It's possible that this could be about an ex of Tod's, but I think it's more a song written in jest. Chameleon Man is a reference to a Cop Shoot Cop song, Tod's previous band. OP spelled "succubus" wrong in the lyrics. A Frigidaire would be a specific brand of refrigerator; there's possibly a deeper meaning to that line, but I'd say the point is that she's trying to say she isn't cold and mechanical, and of course she isn't; she's a hot, predatory creature. Ticker tape was an earlier form of communications, used to transmit stock info, so besides being a pun for a further cardiac reference (ticker = heart), it's also a reference to her interest in getting money unfairly, ie not doing any work but just getting it from her men. I still don't understand the references to hearts, though. Is it an appeal to romance? Meh.
