Ben Kweller – Wasted & Ready

  My Interpretation:Is it just me or is this song about drinking and having sex with large women? Force field is up to protect his ego, AA Alcoholics Anonymous, jump on the "big wagon", running as fast as he can means getting it over with fast.
  
  if you want it to move so, why don't you make it go means if you don't like how I'm working it then you get on top, Prove it to everybody who doesn't understand means show the world big girls can be good at sex too, all the fights and some say more with their hands means that some people can tell a girl how much she means to them with their touch more then they could with words.
  
  Why am I dealing with this feeling? I'm maxed out like a credit card. I'll continue to be my worst enemy. It's easy, but it seems so hard. You're near but you seem so far is saying he why is he stressing to the point he maxed out emotionally, he's his worst enemy in the sense he keeps putting himself in those situations, its easy to distance yourself emotions, but it's really hard on him and even though he's intimate with her he's emotionally distancing himself cuz it's a last resort for sex.
  
  the chorus is basically saying that she goes above and beyond her call of duty in the sense of sleeping with men and that she compares eating "spaghetti" to something as gratifying as sex and that he's really drunk and ready to get on that "big wagon". Does this sound right? maybe I'm way off.

  3)his lyrics are simplistic and this lyrics of this song is serious in the sense that it's real human personal emotions
  4)a sense of humor is a sense of humor get over it

  General Comment:First of all, i love this song so much. I've listened to it like a million times and i still love it. Second of all, i was reading some of the comments on here and i honestly don't see how you're comparing BK to Rivers Cuomo, if someone would tell me which album it reminds you of i'd greatly appreciate it. . . and finally, if you're going to comment on here do us all a favor and don't bother saying he sucks. Darling, you wouldn't be looking up his lyrics if he sucked.
