Lyrics for Brandy Alexander as interpreted by Tsuppi

Brandy Alexander Lyrics
Though I'd like to be the girl for him and cross the sea and land for him
On milky skin my tongue is sand until the ever distant band begins to play

He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander
He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander

Though I know what I love most of him, I'm walking on needles and pins
My addiction to the worst of him
The low moon helps me sing

I'm his Brandy Alexander
Always get him into trouble
I hide that I am flattered
Brandy Alexander
I'm his Brandy Alexander
Always get him into trouble
I hide that I am flattered
Brandy Alexander

It goes down easy (easy)

Brandy Alexander

i really like this song and how simple the melody is.

I think it is about a girl who is terribley addicted to this boy. Her mouth is like sand until she can have a sip of him so to speak. She still loves him even though he gets her into trouble all the time. She also gets him into trouble, but she's happy that he chose her of all to get into trouble with. She's sort of addicted to him, and he to her, the way one might be addicted to brandy the drink, or any alcoholic beverage for that matter.

What I love best about this song is how she says the "der" at the end of some of the ALEXANDERS. I can't get over that. It breaks my heart!

I agree with aammiiee -- it's about a girl addicted to a boy. That's all it is! So simple, yet so great!

Yeah, I caught the Invisible Monsters reference too. The character in the book is kind of a free spirit, regularly getting friends into trouble.

it's not a palahiuk reference.
chuck took brandy alexander's name from the cocktail.

brandy alexander is a cocktail made from brandy, dark creme de cacao, cream, and nutmeg. that's why the references in the song are to drinking.

this is such a sweet adorable song. i love the "it goes down easy" part. i think the easy-going tone also affects the meaning of the song.. think of it as casual love thing.. maybe?
p.s. i wish i were gay, i'd TOTALLY bang feist.

It's always fantastic when you actually pay attention to an album you bought ages ago, and realise you didn't notice a damn reference!

I think its pure infatuation. She's in a new relationship and he's her new addiction. It might be wrong but she doesn't care because it feels so right. She's high off his love.

I think it's about a guy and a girl, who used to date and are now best friends, sleeping together. They both start seeing other people but can't stop sleeping with each other. ie "My addiction to the worst of him" She's saying that she doesn't really want to keep doing this, hence the word addiction. It could inevitably get her into trouble.

and on the opposite end, she's also getting him into trouble by continuing this. She's secretly happy to be doing this though "I hide that I am flattered" They both can't resist sleeping together.

It's comfortable for them, easier than starting something new and having awkward sex. It's always easier to go back to what you already know. It just complicates things when other people come into the picture.

I never knew it was a character in a palahniuk book, but when I hear this song and how melancholy and sweet it is I know what it's trying to say. Yes, a brandy alexander is an alcoholic drink made with dark creme cacao, brandy (of course) and cream, hence the line "on milky skin my tongue is sand". (Btw, the correct lyrics are "the ever distant band", not "the irridescent band") I think it's about a girl who has a great friendship with a guy but can't get closer to him because of distance. (ever distant band, cross the sea and land, the reference to walking) Even though they have this obstacle to overcome, they work so well together that they get into trouble, just like how the drink "brandy alexander" does.

i relate to this song in ways i can't even begin to explain. i think that, rather than the guy being a "bad boy," he's in a relationship with another girl. yet, they're undeniably addicted to eachother. he always gets her into trouble because she knows she shouldn't still be talking to him; he's hurt her in the past. she always gets him into trouble because he has a girlfriend whom he loves and feels that he's betraying. she can't get close to him because of the girlfriend, and she "hides that she's flattered" because she doesn't want him to know that it means anything to her. it makes sense to me, at least.

So many people can relate, no matter how you interpret it; it could be an old relationship, one strained by distance, etc. To me, it describes my relationship with a boy. We've never dated, agreeing on a "platonic" relationship because he's not into monogamy and I'm unwilling to consider the alternative. But we wind up together anyway, and it always causes problems. "Trouble," with his current hook-up, my disapproving friends, and disappointed hopes. We are addicted to each other, particularly on another's faults.

Once, after a particularly heated dispute, we stopped talking. It probably would have ended there, but in a burst of inspiration/desperation I did something rather sappy. I found his (rather dirty) car in the parking lot and wrote the words "Brandy Alexander" on his rear windshield. He called me. We made up.

So, yeah, this song holds a lot of meaning for me.

As someone who has a brandy alexander in their life, I feel very close to this song.
It means to me that she has a male friend that is infectious, the kind that she is addicted to spending time with just being herself and having him bring out the best in her. He gets her into trouble but she doesn't care because she's so taken by him and she hopes he with her, and even though she wants to be with him in a romantic way, they have something already that is so special, so unspokenly easy and right.
i also think that in the end of the song when the words brandy alexander escalate and fade out ,sounds like a prelude to a kiss, so i always picture a long awaited kiss at the end.

We're both in relationships that are going really well, but every time we talk to each other there's a chemistry that's undeniable. He makes me crazy, and it's likewise for him. There's an unspoken affection between us, and we know to keep our distance.

Every time I hear this song, his teasing face pops into my mind. So the fates didn't intend for us to end up together, but he'll always be in my heart. Always.
