I absolutely love this imagery. Anyone have any read on "first name basis with the king"? |

As an addendum... the time is a game only children play well bit... He's saying "all of this courtship, bringing flowers, cuddling, getting to third base nonsense is kid's stuff... since we're not kids and we don't have (seemingly, of course) all the time in the world, let's get down to business. Lay the hell down and I'll get to work." |

I agree with whoever said this is supposed to be a fun song... who cares about the lyrics? Sure, he's a remarkable poet when he wants to be, but he's not trying to be here... at least that's my view. As for my interpretation, I think it's just a little example of male/female miscommunication with regard to sex/love/life. To the girl, "love" is emotional, she wants him to love her, apparently he's not doing a good job of it. To the guy singing, "love" means sex, and he's saying he can't show his love unless she spreads her legs, i.e. lies down. Or maybe I'm a moron. |
