The Thrilling of Claire Lyrics
Glowing so hot from him – pink-like shivers
Turn around, let me tie your string, stand still – this isn’t easy
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired
Well, you got your pretty white bird and
Well, you got your dove
All the after effects of three girls on two girls, I'll just help you finish off
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Glowing so hot from him – pink-like shivers
Turn around, let me tie your string, stand still – this isn’t easy
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired
All these weights and wires must make a skinny girl tired
Well, you got your pretty white bird and
Well, you got your dove
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Into the flame and off to the movies
The thrilling of Claire, for the thrilling of Claire
Into the flame and off to the movies

A buncha bondage!?!?! What a weird song; I think it's clever. I assume it's about what men do to be with a woman... A lot apparently! (We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar)
you're exactly right, it's about what men are willing to endure in order to please a woman they care for. The bondage may be a bit too extreme, more likely it's just a metaphor for his attitude toward relationships; pessimistic with a slight touch of masochism; it's Matt's signature.

classic matt berninger lyrics here

It was on the Limited Expanded Edition of Alligator. There's a Youtube video here with the album version for those who haven't heard it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaDCx5a_xPE, it's actually very good!

"The Thrilling Of Claire" is the name of an imagined Porn film in the song.
