By James Powell

These lyrics feel quite

sarcastic and bitter,
suggesting they don't
like this person

Seems to be
Brian, top marks for not tryin'
referring to
So kind of you to bless us
someone quite lazy
and uninspired
With your effortlessness
however its very
We're grateful and so strangely comforted
ambiguous and
unclear
Whereas these
lyrics still feel
sarcastic, the
words about his
clothing could
also show
jealousy

And I wonder, are you puttin' us under

Cause we can't take our eyes off

The t-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator
Some want to kiss, some want to kick you

The singer talks

about how their
ambiguous
impression of him
reflects the persons
ambiguous lifestyle

There's not a net you couldn't slip through

Or at least that's the impression I get
Cause you're smooth and you're wet
And she's not aware yet, but she's yours

The group
describe their
conflicting
feelings, as they
admire and
envy him

These lyrics seem to

show the person in
reference has a
sense of
entitlement and
damages peoples
emotions

She'll be sayin' "Use me,

Show me the jacuzzi"

I imagine that it's there on a plate
Your rendezvous rate means that you'll never
be frightened
To make them wait for a while

The person causes

pain and damage
wherever he goes
due to his strange
and unpredictable
lifestyle

I doubt it's your style

Not to get what you set out to acquire

The eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm
(Brian)

The repetition of this

line could suggest it as
one f the characters
main features

The person is
determined
or selfentitled,
further
showing the
contrasting
attitudes

Calm, collected, and commandin'

(Top marks for not tryin')
You made the other stories standin'

Part of his strange

attitudes is due to
his methodical and
calculating attitude
in life

Even though
this person is
disliked and has
many bad
qualities people
still envy and
him

With your renditions and jokes

Bet there's hundreds of blokes

That have wept cause
You've stolen their thunder

Are you puttin' us under?

Cause we can't take our eyes off

The t-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator
Repetition of last line
suggests that the band are
fed up with him and hope
to have seen the last of him

The direct
address to
Brian suggests
personal history
between them,
making the song
seem more
personal
