Oh, I was arguing with a friend (coughzookcough) about the line from if only you were lonely.
Is it about a lonely guy who practices pick-up lines at home
or
A lonely guy who masturbates
what say you?

Shouldn't this be a pole?
Right on both counts. Classic double entendre. I hear, "but I can practice on myself" but even "by myself" is pretty suggestive of something more than mumbling lines to a mirror.
Edit: I saw this in "View the last 10 posts" so didn't realize it IS a poll. For more fun between the sheets see the sexual double entendre thread in this same Lyrics section.

yeah, he was talking about jerking off. When he says he ain't very good its not about lines but about sex...meaning he may not be good, but at least he practices, even if alone.

I always took it as he "ain'tvery good" at talking to the ladies but he does "practice by himself". I always thought it sounded really sweet...
...but I guess the masturbation meaning works too.

Or it could mean I'm retarded and have been interpereting it wrong... I don't think so... And I don't think masturbation is really considered practice for the real deal (unless it is your first time or you are gay/bi, of course). |

I think of that as "practice" but maybe I did it all wrong all those years  |

I thought he was talking about practicing "Space Invaders". Well, it is sort of about invading space.  And its true that I once asked PW about a whore peeing on ajax, but I WILL NOT ask him if this line is about jerking off. Not gonna happen. |

He's most definitely talking about masturbation. And he stole it from Woody Allen (Annie Hall, I think).

The line from the 1975 movie, as cited at that site: ... other gags are basic Allen one-liners: after being congratulated for his lovemaking skills, Boris replies nonchalantly, "I practice a lot when I'm alone." Might have been part of his standup act too. A lot of people attribute it to him this way: I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own. Is PW a WA fan? I knew a guy who said he tried out for Bob's spot and he was a big Woody fanatic. |

I didn't think the line had a thing to do with masturbation. Actually, I totally thought he was still talking about that video game he sees her standing next to...

I thought he was talking about practicing "Space Invaders". This interpretation never occurred to me before reading this thread. Triple entendre gets my vote now. |
