| This song is like a not-so-cute lullaby ^^ That's why I love it. I thought it was about a girl that he once went out with and then she was trying to be mean to his new girlfriend... But the other ideas sound more right xDD | |

| The line "with the writings of Kafka in hand" most likely refers to Franz Kafka's most famous piece "The Metamorphosis" in which Gregor (the protagonist) undrgoes a horrible transformation-into a bug. I think the reference is depicting the metamorphosis of a relationship, inwhich an unwanted change is happening. | |

| This is an awesome song. It's about a man who was involved with a woman who completely took advantage of him (was possibly unfaithful). She left him only to come back believing that she could have him whenever it was convenient for her. It's about the agony that this man endured attempting to get over his love. He's finally decided that he can't handle that kind of heartbreak again and that he doesn't need someone in his lfe who is so ugly on the inside (despite her outward beauty). | |

| This song isn't about a woman but a woman asking him about his drug addiction....possibly heroin. The baby bitch is the drug. Notice he tells her to fuck off but that she's beautiful. Go conquor someone else? Now skinny and sick and paranoid? Without a cent to my name? I can't close my eyes anymore? .....come on guys open your mind. | |

| Probably my favorite song off Chocolate & Cheese, along with Voodoo Lady and What Deaner Was Talking About. By the way, does anybody here actually have any friends who dig Ween as much as you do? I sure don't... none of my friends will give them a chance! It's so sad... ;( | |

| InterpretationalUst... i think the kafka-reference is more about the whole "kafka-universe" : the absurdity , no way out, surrealism and in general not making any sense of the situation you're in. That in mind, the song is about the wonder of being with the girl you love and the fact the SHE love YOU.. the absurd cosmos that love exists in. JC > am i making any sense at all? | |

| This song is not about a woman but its about a woman. This song is not about a relationship but its about a relationship. This song is not about a heartbreak but its about a heartbreak. | |

| This song is a tribute to Bob Dylan'a 'Sara' on top of this. The melody and structure is the same, and it includes the line 'wrote Sad Eyed Lady f the Lowlands for you'. | |

| Molo got it right. And edmon neatly explains the reason ween do what they do, they like to pay tribute to other artists songs they like. This song actually got radio play back in 1994-95. Shout out to the A.M.W. peeps. | |

| From the lyrics, it can be inferred that this song is about an old lover. It's directly related to "Birthday Boy", one of my personal favorite Ween songs. In that song, he tells a lover that, even though they're separated, he still feels for her. In this one, he realizes that she was just a bitch to him anyway, so screw her. | |

| at first I thought this song was about a past gay relationship or something, and now he had moved on with some new girl, and the guy had come back. but the drug thing sounds more accurate. XD | |
