Mr. and Mrs. Elliot
Trials of Love and Fate: Mr. & Mrs. Elliot's Journey
Lyrics
They have tried on a big, hard bed
Attempts made on a large, challenging bed.
They have tried in a Boston hotel
Efforts made in a Boston hotel.
And in the big hot bedroom in Touraine, despite their mutual pain
Attempts in a hot bedroom in Touraine despite shared pain.
He can call it living straight
The male figure claims to live a straightforward life.
But are you the master of your own fate
Raising a question about true control over one's destiny.
If pairs of shoes in front of hotel rooms shake you straight to the bone?
Reflecting on the impact of pairs of shoes in front of hotel rooms.
Mr. and Mrs. Elliot tried so hard to have a child
Mr. and Mrs. Elliot's intense efforts to conceive.
But some of us will and some of us won't, that's just the way it goes
Expressing the unpredictable nature of fertility – some succeed, some don't.
And you're standing in the ticket line, you may rhyme and prophesize
Standing in a ticket line, contemplating and making predictions through rhymes.
Drinking white wine and writing the days away
Engaging in leisure activities like drinking white wine and writing.
Coming over on the boat, took their girlfriend to a French Chateau
Recalling a journey, possibly involving a girlfriend and a French Chateau.
In Paris and Dijon they were quite happy, living in a room for three
Happy times in Paris and Dijon, sharing a room for three.
Mr. and Mrs. Elliot tried so hard to have a child
Reiteration of Mr. and Mrs. Elliot's struggles to have a child.
But some of us will and some of us won't, that's just the way it goes
Reiterating the unpredictability of fertility.
And you're standing in the ticket line, you may rhyme and prophesize
Continuing the theme of contemplating life while in a ticket line.
Drinking white wine and writing the days away
Engaging in the same leisure activities of drinking white wine and writing.
Drinking white wine and writing the days away
Repeating the image of drinking white wine and writing, possibly as a way to cope with life's challenges.
