Mystic Lady
Enchanting Night Tales: Unveiling the Mystical Journey in Lloyd Cole's 'Mystic Lady'
Lyrics
Oh baby mystic lady
Expressing affection towards a mysterious woman
You do own my night
Indicating that the woman dominates the speaker's thoughts at night
Put my dogs to fright
Suggesting that the woman has a captivating or intimidating presence
Yea yea yea yea yea
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression
Sliding riding sorceress
Describing the woman as a magical and alluring figure
In your dungarees
Depicting the woman wearing casual clothing
Got me on my knees
Highlighting the impact of the woman's presence on the speaker
The people in your life are cruel
Commenting on the negativity or harshness of people in the woman's life
Keep on riding that hard road
Encouraging the woman to persevere despite challenges
The lovers in your life are few
Noting that the woman has few romantic relationships
You keep on riding that hard road
Encouraging the woman to continue facing difficulties in relationships
Baby baby baby
Repetition of endearment towards the woman
Oh baby baby baby
Continuation of expressing affection towards the woman
Pleasant crescent moon
Describing a pleasant moon, possibly symbolizing a positive aspect in life
Fills my heart with pain
Indicating that the moon brings emotional pain to the speaker
Fills my toes with rain
Metaphorically connecting the pain to the toes being filled with rain
Oh bobby you got a hobby
Referring to someone named Bobby who has an intellectual interest
With the learned ones
Suggesting a connection between Bobby's interest and the setting sun, possibly alluding to an end
Like a setting sun
Comparing Bobby's interest to a setting sun, possibly implying its decline
The people in your life are cruel
Reiteration of the negativity of people in the woman's life
Keep on riding that hard road
Encouraging the woman to persist on a challenging path
The lovers in your life are few
Noting the scarcity of romantic connections in the woman's life
You keep on riding that hard road
Encouraging the woman to continue facing challenges in love
Baby baby baby
Repetition of endearment towards the woman
Oh baby baby baby
Continuation of expressing affection towards the woman
