| Haha, maybe that's the point. For me, it's about taking the romance out of love and marriage and replacing it with strict routine. People who have pre-nuptial agreements and only stay together cos it makes good business sense to take your partner to corporate functions. I attribute this translation to my drunken demeanour and stong CD portfolio... | |

Your account ha Average |
#10 by Your account has been hacked into by Bkid23 Stupid.... at Feb 27, 1979 at 8:42 AM EST |
| Even if Keith said that the song has no meaning I think there is one and it's pretty clear. It's a guy (probably some savvy businessman) propositioning a girl for sex. "love is just an exchangeof corporate documents. i've reviewed your rapport and i feel you're a prospect for mechanical salvation. this is a joint venture that will be mutually advantageous to both parties involved. technically this is just a business merger. a consolidation of liquid assets. we are respectively geared towards customer service" "we could form a strong strategic partnership" "raises are granted based on performance" Every single sentence here can be looked at as a sex metaphor; liquid assets, customer service, partnerships etc. That was the first thing that popped into my mind when i read the lyrics. | |

| I love this song like you all too :o). I just hope no one takes those lyrics seriously. Keith himself even said in an interview on lambgoat.com that he wrote the lyrics before one of his college classes and was like half drunk when he did it. He went on to say how the lyrics actually have no meaning what so ever. The quote from jordan was "I just think it’s funny, on a little side note, that after Keith told me I can’t help. When we play “Logic of Crocodiles” live, and Keith’s like, “Yeah, I wrote this song after I had no sleep and was just really drunk, and it means absolutely nothing,” and you know, you see all these kids pull metaphors, and get up on stage, kids are just fucking punching each other in the face, screaming like the words to the song. And I can’t help just like, I mean I love the song, it’s one of my favorite songs and I love the lyrics. I just can’t help but just smile when I see kids going bonkers, not realizing that they’re screaming words that make no sense, and came from, like, a drunk insomniac two days before a recording." | |

| just because he was drunk when he wrote it doesn't mean it doesn't have meaning whether he remembers it or not, it is clear that keith is making a humorous jest at businessmen's self importance and shallowness, much like american psycho | |

| yea i think that he's taking a shot at big buisnessmen....i don't know how hung over you can be and still use "semantically equivalent" in a song...i think that Keith is just kind of showing off on how he can put fucking any lyric into music... | |

| I figured it was sarcastic and talking about like "I'm a buisnessman and I'm important" blah blah blah. Like making fun of buisnessmen who act/think they're badass or something. | |
