Young Man With A Stripper
Melancholic Notes of Longing: Kyle McNeill's 'Young Man With A Stripper' Tale
Lyrics
Well I could hear that old music
Expressing awareness of distant music.
From way around the corner
Noting the source of the music around the corner.
But it's been so long since I've
Highlighting the passage of time since playing a personal song.
Played my own song for you babe
Expressing the desire to play a song for a significant other.
My own song for you babe
Repetition of the longing to play a personal song for the partner.
Well I could tell she was a dancer
Perceiving the partner as a dancer based on physical cues.
By the way she kissed my earlobe
Describing an intimate moment with the partner.
But it's been so long since I
Reflecting on the time elapsed since playing a song for the partner.
Played my own song for you babe
Repetition of the desire to play a personal song for the partner.
My own song for you babe
Reiteration of the longing to play a personal song for the partner.
Well I wish that your old tires
Expressing a wish for a specific action (old tires passing by).
Would come on by
Desiring the removal of possessions and a negative influence.
And take away all I've got
Expressing a desire for a change in circumstances.
And this bad high
Referring to a negative emotional state caused by substance use.
Whiskey and cocaine don't kiss me like you do
Comparing the impact of substances to the partner's affection.
Come on baby take me away with you
Expressing a desire to be taken away by the partner.
Well the music it sounds funny
Commenting on the quality of the music and dancing.
And the dancing well it's crummy
Characterizing the dancing as subpar but expressing acceptance.
But you know that I don't mind
Indicating a lack of concern about the surroundings if the partner is absent.
As long as you're not by to see me
Emphasizing a sense of longing in the absence of the partner.
Lord I've been missing you babe
Expressing deep yearning and missing the partner.
Well I could tell she was a dancer
Reiteration of perceiving the partner as a dancer.
By the way she kissed my earlobe
Repeating an intimate moment with the partner.
But it's been so long since I
Reflecting on the time elapsed since playing an old song for the partner.
Played my old song for you babe
Repetition of the desire to play an old song for the partner.
My old song for you babe
Reiteration of the longing to play an old song for the partner.
Well I wish that your old tires
Repeating the wish for a specific action (old tires passing by).
Would come on by
Reiterating the desire for removal of possessions and a negative influence.
And take away all I've got
Repeating the desire for a change in circumstances.
And this bad high
Repeating the reference to negative emotional state caused by substance use.
Whiskey and cocaine don't kiss me like you do
Reiterating the comparison between substances and the partner's affection.
Come on baby take me away with you
Repeating the desire to be taken away by the partner.
Come on baby take me away with you
Reiteration of the desire to be taken away by the partner.
Come on baby take me away with you
Final repetition of the desire to be taken away by the partner.
