The Thrilling of Claire Lyrics

Clearly you’re wondering
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

What’s the difference between what this is and what it was?
Well, you got your pretty white bird and
Well, you got your dove

If that’s what gets you off, I can't compete with the thrilling of Claire
All the after effects of three girls on two girls, I'll just help you finish off

We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
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

We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
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

Clearly you’re wondering
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

What’s the difference between what this is and what it was?
Well, you got your pretty white bird and
Well, you got your dove

We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
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

We’ll be their pet, we’ll wear their collar
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

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.
