general theme is sex. feeling chained to someone because they'll screw you, maybe finding someone you can actually love but all the other sex getting in the way, being diverted from one whore to the next. too much sex messes with your head, especially if lots of different people. you dont know which one to be chained to. "mary ain't you tired of this": asking arent you tired of the same old thing-empty sex with no feeling. but the hey been trying to meet you makes me think of hitting on people. also-the second verse thing shows men arent as chained to partners as the ladies are, and sometimes women succumb to sex just because they adore their man. musically- i like the guitar part; it has a pained sound.
okay okay, i got some science to drop on you morons. before i get started, i want to make sure it is known that i am a huge pixies fan. i'm in maria fantasma, and we cover this on our youtube channel.

so, i'mo blow your minds; it's not about anything anyone has said. it's about the david lynch movie ERASERHEAD, which if you haven't seen, is a perfect 2hour chunk of misery. in this movie, the protagonist Henry has a mutant demon child with his girlfriend Mary X. (must be a devil between us". he also has romantic fixations with a woman in his building, who at one point stands in his doorway. and he also imagines a woman living in his radiator. so that's your "whore at the door, whore in my head". mary leaves henry alone to deal with a miserable freak baby, and it threatens his ability to "live". the story has a futuristic caveman romance vibe to it, along with some really horrifying surealism. hence the grunting, and when the baby is born and when it dies, the lights and electricity surges and busts lightbulbs. i say this is suggesting the mothers connection to the child.
i know it sounds like i'm reaching here, but i noticed that in the pixies' doc "LOUDquietLOUD" charles goes to this old church and when he plays the old-ass pipe organ, he plays "the lady in the radiator song" from the movie, which they cover live to this day, in spite of how it was only a b-side. this shows how much charles connects to this movie.
the baby makes a wierd sound throughout the movie, and when i was trying to re-arrange the four-piece song into a two-piece, i noticed that joe santiago plays this dissonant bended note that only makes sense when you think about how the baby sounds. it's very "whaaaa, whaaaa, whaaaaa!"
when i saw this movie it setme off too, and i have at least two-songs i can tie to ERASERHEAD. i highly recommend all of David Lynch's work, but this one is special. i think you can see the connection if you watch a trailer, but don't cheat yourself out of a good creepy movie.
