Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie Nitro: A Tale of Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
Well she came round here and nobody could speak her name
Jeannie arrives, and her name is unspoken, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
And she talked in circles like she needed someone else to blame
Jeannie speaks vaguely, deflecting blame onto others.
And everybody prayed she would go back from where she came
Hope for her departure; people wish she would leave.
The sun didn't shine and for forty days all it did was rain
An extended period of gloom, emphasizing a negative impact.
Well the lights burned out, and the circus they got out of town
Dark times, the circus (joy) departs, and priests' last rites are prominent.
And the priest's last rites were the only words that could be found
Phone lines down, poets struggle to describe a significant event.
The loverboys couldn't tell the time 'cause the phones were down
Lovers confused due to disrupted time; chaos ensues.
The poets couldn't find the words to describe the sound
The magnitude of the event is beyond poetic expression.
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Repetition of Jeannie's name, emphasizing her presence and impact.
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
-Came, she saw, she made them cry
Jeannie causes emotional distress without clear reasons.
Lost their hearts but don't know why
-Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Reiteration of Jeannie's name, highlighting her significance.
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
-Spoke the words and begged to die
Jeannie speaks words of despair and sacrifices dreams for others.
Sold her dream for you and I
-Well the good girls danced with the devil in the open yard
Good girls engage in risky behavior, perhaps influenced by Jeannie.
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
-But the blood from their thighs was the only thing that made him hard
Graphic imagery of a disturbing encounter with the devil.
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
-She couldn't read the signs on the wall where they had her scar
Jeannie's inability to recognize warning signs, linked to a tragic event.
She was the one time lover of a victim of the oven car
-Well it was said she was raised by the praise of a furious man
Jeannie's upbringing involved praise from an angry man, contributing to her character.
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
-But she couldn't tell you how or when that it all began
The uncertain origin of Jeannie's troubles.
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
-A woman has to feel alive any way she can
Jeannie seeks vitality however possible, refusing ignorance.
She don't plead dumb or pretend that she don't understand
-Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Repetition of Jeannie's name, emphasizing her continuing impact.
