Lyrics for Dishes as interpreted by Contristo

Dishes Lyrics
I am not Jesus though I have the same initials -
I am the man who stays home and does the dishes.
and how was your day?
Is that woman still trying to do your head in?
A man told me to beware of 33.
He said, 'It was not an easy time for me' but I'll get through even though
I've got no miracles to show you.

I'd like to make this water wine
but it's impossible.
I've got to get these dishes dry.
Ah...

I'll read a story if it helps you sleep at night.
I've got some matches if you ever need a light.
Oh I am just a man
but I am doing what I can to help you.

And I'm not worried that I will never touch the stars
'cos stars belong up in heaven
and the earth is where we are.
Oh yeah.

And aren't you happy just to be alive? Anything's possible.
You've got no Cross to bear tonight. Ah
No not tonight, Ah.
No not tonight, Ah.
I am not Jesus though I have the
same initials.

Lovely song this. I love the bit about never touching the stars. It seems hopeful in a dire situation. Or it could just be that Jarvis realised that he had the same initials as Jesus and thought it was mildly interesting.

This song is an incredible metaphore from Jarvis. It's about realizing that at a certain age you are not the human you would have like to be. When he sings about the water into wine, it refers in transforming his own life into something else. Then you look at the mirror, and you just 'stay home and do the dishes'.

Before I start my babble, I love the line about touching the stars.

OK, here I go. I think that roughly translated, it's like "I'm not perfect. I'm not the best partner, the best lover, the best person, but I'm me. This is who I am, and I'll do everything I can to make our life together good."

What do you think? Lol.♥
