I seem to remember reading the transcripts of one of FB's live chats here on the forum and that's where he apologized for it...i think so...
something like "oops, pardon moi" was his reply. or it could have been a misspelling of "le cigare volant"...one of the two, methinks...
anyone else remember that??? |

you want crude interpretations here you go, this makes me think of animal mating, sniffing out when the female is primed for baby making and checking it's cool to get with the jiggy jiggy.
This is all really interesting though, the ufo references and the lute, and jediroller I now have a toga-fied frank in my head, it's no bad thing. Great work guys!
 cats have nine lives/ which makes them ideal for experimentation
Yep, that's always been my take on it. As Lonely Persuader said, primeval and basic instincts.
I see the singer getting away from it all, and then getting a little bored, venturing into town and being attracted to someone he meets.
When we strip it all away, what we are left with is one of our basic human needs, desires and urges: romance.
IMO, the reference to Monsieurs and Madams at Nine [9:00 pm] is the singer's way of reassuring the woman that he has met that he has invited others to his house this evening and not to be alarmed or frightened by this stranger that she has just met(yes, you've just met me, but I not a creep, or a psycho path, come on over, there will be other guests,...here, have some more wine, relax...)
Nothing for the database here, just wanted to post my opinions |

| I love it when we try to analyse songs but I think that if Frank's reading us, he must be laughing his ass off! |

definately. but hopefully he realises it's what fans do.
i bet we can explain away lyrics that don't even have any meaning to Fb, just random words and thoughts.
that's what i love about these things, how people interpret the lyrics themselves.
watching folk trying to out smart the next with a deeper explaination and probably never getting close to the truth.
it's fun.

Hey fbc, thanks for the props on my opinion!
You know, this is how I view The Man and his music, and I'm sure you share this opinion (the first part of it anyway), The Man is an artist (and no, not all musicians are artists, many fall short for all sorts of reasons) and his music is art.
(2nd part) Art is multi-layered, some of the layers intended by the artist, and some unintended. Many artists shy away from strictly defining and explaining their art and as a result the art is not limited by their strict definition or explanation.
I've always admired Frank's response when asked about the meaning of one of his songs, you know, it goes something like, "the meaning to the song is in the lyrics, if you want to know what it is about look to the lyrics". By doing this, he gives an earnest response to the question, he points the way, and then it is up to the one asking the question to see for themselves. |

fumanbru and frank black conspiracy,
Your recogition and appreciation of my wisdom is a testament to the wisdom that each of you possess. The respect that you show for your elders is an admirable attribute, the shortage of which has been greatly exagerated by my generation. I find much comfort in the realization that our community, society and world is a better place because of your generation.
Very truly yours,
OldManInaCoffeeCan |

At the risk of interrupting this love fest  ...
I always thought that Monsieurs/Madams at 9
was Frank addressing his audience. You know, the
concert starts at 9? Maybe it's wishful thinking
on my part and not the least bit insightful.
I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

Yes, but ... we shouldn't go for our own interpretations
rather a collection of info about each song, with said
info coming from as close a source to the man
as possible.

Well Kathryn, now that you have interrupted the meeting of our Mutual Admiration Society, may I point out that you seem to have missed the point of our meeting. I was receiving some much deserved props on two of my posts, the first from fbc when he astutely observed the following on 3/27/05 at 11:41:11:
"and what an opinion Oldman.
Interesting
Love your thoughts of 9

fbc was, of course, commenting on my personal interpretation of Massif Central immediately preceeding his post.
And the second was from both fumanbru and fbc, when they generously shared their appreciation of my post stating that Frank was an artist, his music is art, layered with intented and unintended meanings and interpretations, and Frank has a brillant way of not strictly defining or explaining his art, but rather stating, sincerly and not as a smart ass, that the meaning of the song is in the lyrics.
So you see, my dear Kathryn, none of our off topic posts were meant for the database, they were discussions from the meeting of our Mutual Admiration Society, of which you certainly qualify for admission if you so desire.

Thanks, OldMan. I so easily become confused by things.
Thanks, too, for the invitation but I'll pass. The three of you
fellas are doing a bang-up job admiring one another.
I am in no position to receive admiration anyway, as I hate
myself immensely.
I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

The performance on the christmass album is majestic
a passionate vocal and he makes the guitar hum
superior to the album version

Where'd they go? I stopped posting a year or so ago when the whole damn forum got deleted or whatever happened.
