Correct that incorrect lyric please. It should be
"I sat and drank for three decades"
Which means, as he is 45, he started drinking at 15. |

I suspect this may be about Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and his 'pedia' obsession with Alice Pleasance Liddell who was unquestionably a Victorian child. |

Self explanatory on theme of addiction to prescription drugs esp Valium (from Swiss pharma dealers Roche AG), a theme also found in 'Industrial Estate'. |

| The Fall – Lie Dream of a Casino Soul Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
The sleeve as I recall had 'Mein Dichoff' presumably to get round prudish censors. Witty wheeze.
Epic track. National Anthem contender if ever there was...
Mark E Smith for president. Now there's a man you could vote for. |

| Right Said Fred – I'm Too Sexy Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
"I'm a model, you know what I mean"
Means he is a RENT BOY aka male prostitute advertising himself euphemistically as a 'model' hence the knowing wink of 'you know what I mean' otherwise there'd be no need for the 'you know what I mean' if you know what I mean. |

| Townes Van Zandt – Loretta Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
The first line should be "... MY barroom girl" not "... A barroom girl" as in some cover versions. Townes always uses "MY" implying a more intimate relationship than "A" which can seem demeaning and dismissive.
Also sometimes Townes follows the line "I can have her anytime" with "she can have me anytime" which I prefer, it's a more reciprocal equal deal and takes away the element of macho boasting.
Just a couple of details to help keep the sweet and loving intentions of the lyric on track. Thank you |
