Spike Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 In Westbound Sign, the first verse used to sound like "Blah blah, bla bla bla bla bla bla-ah blah blah blah bla bla blah blah blah blah blah blah bla blah blah blah bla bla, westbound sign" to me. It is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 In Jesus of Suburbia, I thought it was "I'd rather god be in the bathroom stall," instead of "I'd read the graffitti in the bathroom stall," and I was like wtf is that supposed to even mean? That's a terrifying mental image! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I thought it was that for the longest time (years, in fact), and just assumed it was some sort of metaphor for the protagonist wishing that God was a more accessible being/concept. The idea of finding God in a bathroom stall instead of in a church always cracked me up (and it still does, even though I know the real lyric now). That actually works really well as a lyric, it's a shame that's not it. To be honest the image in my head was of god struggling to have a poo... What is it with that song? For ages I thought the opening line was "I'm the son of Rachel Love" and decided that was Whatsername's real name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catpiss Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I remember I thought in "one of my lies" that he said "it was a tragic case of marijuana tears" instead of "it was a tragic case of my reality" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
