| The Band – The Weight Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I like Smuggler's ideas. The singer keeps talking about his bag, the weight. This weight is life, his body. He's in purgatory. Fanny has already died, leaving the narrator with the weight. He keeps asking for rest which is death. Crazy Chester says he'll fix his rack( not rat) - slang for giving him a place to sleep. In the song, letting him die. Chester wants the narrator to take his dog along to the afterlife. |
