| Grinderman – No Pussy Blues Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
Feminism has deprived him of all the formerly sure-fire methods of getting laid. Even throwing her down upon her back is fruitless, for she laughs it off in an emasculating denial of his dominance.
Or perhaps she scoffs at an aging man's use of a young man's methods. |

| Bob Dylan – Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again Lyrics

"Punched my cigarette" is a reference to Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, who smoked his cigarettes using an unorthodox fist-grip. I read this in the excellent book "The Mansion On the Hill" by Fred Goodman. This book describes the birth of the modern music industry, focusing on the business side of the rises of Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. |

| Ween – Pretty Girl Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
The first guy is gay. The girl is attracted to him, and believes she could make him go straight ("turn his life around"). She'd be wasting her time; he's not interested. The second guy is hetero, but unattractive to the girl. He wants her to "turn his life around," as in make him happy. None of these people will get together. It's a song of unrequited love. |
