"If you were a pill ..." (Valentine)
(the double entendre is dated: "Don't be such a pill!")

.....that somewhere in the lyrics forum there's a thread about "Paul-type words," or words you rarely hear outside Paul's songs. I know because I remember writing that Paul and my grandfather are the only people on Earth who say "toilet bowl." Slacks. In "Take Me Down to the Hospital." Who says "slacks?" Toilet Bowl isn't common? What does everyone else call it?

Using the word "dough" in place of money.

[Toilet Bowl isn't common? What does everyone else call it? I love Paul's use of the word toilet as it rails against fragrant American euphemisms for the crapper (bathroom, washroom, john... etc) In Britain we have a more earthy approach to all things lavatorial hence the following: khazi (pronounced cah-zee), bog, loo, lav. If you've been to my local pub at closing time you'll get more of an idea.

Don't remember who deserves the credit for this one, but "'Seen Your Video' has as much relevance as a 'disco sucks' chant these days."

The outtake "Bundle Up" is kind of a dated phrase i reckon bundle up is also the worst mats song!

In raised in the city, "Cheap gas rubber all four gears" the cheap gas part is dated now, if that's what he's saying I do believe it's, "She gets a rubber in all four gears." I'm paraphrasing Peter Jesperson on this one.

"Waxed up hair" from Talent Show - Is he in Sha Na Na or something? Hey! I have wax in my hair right now and I don't think I'm Sha Na Na. Some of us just have really fine, flat hair that we like to augment for that messy spiky effect. Wax is a contemporary hair product. Otherwise an interesting thread. Yeah, in song-world there are a different rules and such for lexicons. For instance, how often do you call anybody "baby" let alone ask someone to "be my little baby" repeatedly? Obviously Grandpa-boy lives a bit closer to song world than PW proper does.
