| The Verve Pipe – The Freshmen Lyrics

10 pages of comments and nobody mentioned “a week’s worth of Valium and slept” should read “a week’s worth of Valium and slapped him”? “Slept” works, but I hear “slapped him” and think it is more appropriate–she slapped him bu taking a weeks worth of Valium, thus killing herself, and that is quite a slap in the face. That is how I’ve always heard it, anyway. Also, I think the baby’s breath line should read “it’s not a baby’s breath...” Obviously, this is interpreted as “this won’t lead to a wedding” (baby’s breath is a flower often used in wedding bouquets and rice is often tossed at weddings) and not anything to do with abortion.
Just my 2¢. |

I concur with needle13 in that SteelyDanforever's correction is correct. To me, Banks does not seem to be saying, "rejoice from this sister be bad," at least not in the first verse. I think he is saying, "what a choice room this used to be," or "what a choice room this seems to be", or even possibly, "what a choice room this is to be." Listen again with good headphones and follow with the lyrics in front of you. |
