yea it do.. the poor bastard has got some emotional shit going on, including, but likely not limited to, some severely intense unrequited love. luckily an available supermodel was just a few years away.

how about this one from WWS:

so much to talk about there's..
nothing for to say-ay-ay

that's right on par with "i want for to lay down".
matt's the drummer.. what's eddie's excuse?

maybe it's supposed to mean 'for two'

as in when he is about to mount two brosephs

"For to" is a pretty common phrase in country/folk songs.
