That is way too much critical thinking .harmless wrote:buckeye24 wrote:I never thought the "gas in my tank feels like money in the bank" was about the cost of gas, but the freedom a full tank of gas provides. Money is freedom to full tank of gas is freedom to drive away type of thing.
Yup, nothing to do with money. "Money in the bank" = potential / hope.

No, it's just what the phrase means.

Now that's just crazy talk.Django Butterworth wrote:Agree, some of the best lyrics Ed has written, IMO.guitar_davey wrote:harmless wrote:I would definitely like BW more with better lyrics. And actually I'm one of the few people on this board who will defend Gone as a good songTuolumne wrote:Love Big Wave. It's got a a great tempo and gets the listener rocking out and wanting to go back and hit repeat. You're clearly a stickler for lyrics, I'm only a stickler when the song draws attention to it. Big Wave is more about the melody and pace, and the lyrics supplement just fine w/ nice little rhyming patterns. Great way to move the album forward. Too bad Gone doesn't come through in a stronger way.harmless wrote:The Big Wave lyrics are terrible. If Lightning Bolt is a song about surfing (which it is, partly) it's miles and miles better than Big Wave. BW is a "You'd get it if you were a surfer" kind of song.It meant something to me at the time.
I think Gone is great. I really never understood the hate.

I had never considered this, but I like this interpretation (and the double entendre as well).
