Meanings

Cheshire Cat

Told by Jim Schwartz

Carousel

This is more or less a nostolgic song. You see this girl here and ther, but miss her. You're faced with life's everyday problems, and appreciate what you get. You often wish, though, that you could be young and free again, but you are always alone...

M+M's

I think this is about how much you love this one girl, that you would do anything for her. At the end it questions if she would be yours or not.

Fentoozler

This is about being with someone you used to care about, but now they are starting to get on your nerves. Everything they do you hate, and you just sit and act like you care.

Touchdown Boy

This one's about a jock who gets everything: girls, money, fame.

Strings

I guess this is about living life controlled, doing anything, but still not wanting to be alone.

Peggy Sue

Here's the situation: You're at this girl's house sitting in her room. She is outside talking to her parents, who hate you and just love to say what they think of you. You just kind of laugh it off and figure you're not alone.

Sometimes

This is about just feeling so many different things that you don't quite really know what's going on.

Does My Breath Smell?

One word: Rejection.

Cacophony

I think this is about switching situations in the love aspect. When you're faced with this, you don't know what to do. The song switches around at the end though.

TV

I think Mark just likes to watch TV.

Toast And Bananas

This song is pretty much opposite of many of the others. It's about wanting and loving not to be with somebody.

Wasting Time

OK, you really like this girl, and you're always spending time thinking about that what if she thinks about you. You think about the things you could do to impress her and what you could do together, but you just don't have the guts to tell her. You're wasting your time.

Romeo And Rebecca

Another love song about how a girl has wrecked your life and finding out that they are a waste of time, but you still love them and don't want to be alone. Whoa-that was really a runon sentence.

Ben Wah Balls

A joke song about getting to know your dad.

Just About Done

Another joke song.

Depends

Now this one is funny- A joke song about having to wear depends (for thsoe of you that don't know what depends are, they are underwear for adults) and all the social problems you have to face: rubber sheets, soiled bus seats, etc...

Buddha

Told By Jim Schwartz

I'm just going to explain the songs that can only be found on this album. The others should be in with the Cheshire Cat songs.

21 Days
This song is about falling in love with a girl that you would do anything for, but she still won't talk to you. It is also about the confusion and questioning that comes with it.

Reebok Commercial
This one is about "material objects," and not being jealous over clothes and stuff like that. DOWN WITH ABERCROMBIE!!!

My Pet Sally
This is about having someone that you don't have that much time to get together with, but you still want them to stay.

Point Of View
This is just about two people that disagree and see things in basically the exact opposite way, hnce the title, "Point Of View."

Time
Basically a song about not wanting to be restricted to the limits of time...

The Girl Next Door
This is actually a Screaching Weasels' song. It's about a girl who follows the wrong path and ends up dying.

Don't
This is about a girl that you used to care about, but now that she finally cares about you (or at least she says she does), you no longer have the same feelings anymore.
