Shiksa (Girlfriend) (feat. Caithlin De Marrais) Lyrics
and I caught your eyes to my surprise (your white thighs)
hebraic neuroses ceased to be. an angel’s conversing with me
the new attractive to me is divine
and even if your friends don’t understand
no matter what i’ll always be your man
and even if you go, you know you’ll leave me feeling grand
i’ll need new contraceptives, green eyes
i found god when you left him, green eyes
let’s spend the night entwined out on the boardwalk in sickly summertime
like the yin and the yang of the afikomen
you’re the omen that all has changed that was deranged
and even if you stomp me ‘til i’m sore
no matter what i’d bleed to be your whore
and even if the cancer grows until we explode, i’m yours
no way, no how
how’d i get a girlfriend, now?
well from here on forth, I’m yours
your voice shall be the only song i long to hear
and even if your fear the end, our sacrament of salmon and irish beer
will still be here
boy, i need your touch, so lay it on me
boy, i need your love, i need your touch, i’m yours”
This song is about infatuation. He "caught [her] eyes to [his] surprise," and is now in disbelief that such a knockout could be attracted to him. And we all know what happens now! "I'll need new contraceptives... let's spend the night entwined.... no matter what I'd bleed to be your whore."
And who doesn't get excited about new exciting sex prospects?
Especially Max Bemis... heh.
and even if your fear the end, our sacrament of salmon and irish beer will still be here(marriage, obvi)
i remember it vividly, love. i’ve been walking erect since the moment we met(boner)
i found god when you left him(max won her over from the skinny mean man!)
Typical abusive Max. :]
yay they posted my lyrics!
Also, he places a few motifs for his Jewish identity in here.
"I caught your eyes to my surprise... your white thighs. Hebraic neuroses ceased to be. An angel’s conversing with me!"
For those of you who aren't familiar with Mr. Bemis... he's a little neurotic. And he's Jewish. So, he's noting how in this remarkable situation, his normal character traits--neurotiscism and Jewishness (more of a generalization of his identity than a statement about Judaism)--somehow "cease to be."
Toward the end, he says "our sacrament of salmon and Irish beer will still be here."
The salmon represents his half (Jewish... They like fish, right?), and the Irish beer represents hers. She must be irish! I'll bet she's cute.
haha i don't know if the jews had much acces to salmon becuase they are a PNW thing
haha i don't know if the jews had much acces to salmon becuase they are a PNW thing
haha i don't know if the jews had much acces to salmon becuase they are a PNW thing

Is it just me or is he saying "even if you suck me until i'm sore"? I wouldn't put it past them because almost all their songs have a sexual reference in them. But the song is pretty self explainitory. I really like it. Can't wait until the new album.
i'm almost positive that's what he's saying, that's what i'll keep singing anyway
i'm almost positive that's what he's saying, that's what i'll keep singing anyway
if she's irish, she must be cute.
over all great song, max always has such an extraordinary way with twisting everyday song topics into such intricately charming personal tales.

Haha, I thought that it was "suck me until I'm sore", too, but every lyrics site I've been on says otherwise. I almost wish it was, because it's more fun to sing that way. It's a little more straightforward than the last album, but I still love it.
