as far as LLPJ goes, i was actually thinking (while i was driving for 8 hours from pittsburgh to newyork (don't fall asleep...) the other day) what the song could be about. not to be smutty, b/c i know how smut >is absolutely unacceptable and unwanted on this list, but it occurred to me that it could be about a prostitute. well, reading the liner notes, no. but come on: "a dose of thrush you got when licking railings" "in the mud on yr knees trying hard not to please" "you know a girl who's taxfree on her back" "you'll have a boy tonight..." i don't know -- seems entirely possible. i tend to agree with her... the "you know a girl who's tax-free on her back"
hello everyone! marie elia thought: line continues with "while you are working for the joy of giving". in the song, jane obviously seems frustrated with her life and wants to change it.... so mabye she becomes a prostitute...? i don't know, but it seems plausible enough... and then perhaps after having made her choice, she's a little apprahensive to let people know what she's been doing ("you are in two minds/ tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum...") but then, the little story in the liner notes completely contradicts that.... all the same though....... erika xox. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
