(7) Long Cool Girl (5:05)

Shangri La made a great movie on this song.......

 

[Throttle]

For me the lyrics only make sense with regard to Kitty

Apparently, a broad hint at that is the line 'Me and you we’re 3 and 2'

[LoveExpresso]

Not sure if I understand that line..

[Dutchessy]

You're right. It's only connected with Kitty. Somewhere in the Posts were suspects how the Song is going to be before Release and was compared with another Girl Song written by ji about bis daughter. You Mixed the two Things up

Indeed, that was about Young Girl by John

marriages?

[yontwocrows]

I don't understand that line, please explain it in detail (3...2, What?)

[Throttle]

marriages?

I guess so

She's his third wife, he's her second husband.

[Throttle]

I would say it's about Mark's love to Fender Stratocaster.
...

Hopefully, he loved not only guitars. Even sensible men do absurd things occasionally. 

[Throttle]

Recon, I frequently confound these prepositions too. 
Native speakers should kill us.

Thanks, this seems to be very likely. I was thinking about that sometimes two things added together add up to more than just two (example was Mark and Emmy singing, it was more than just the two voices, there was something new added, hope you know what I mean..)

Why yes, sometimes the fruits of close collaboration acquire quite an unexpected additional aspect.

I find it very interesting to hear 'Non English' speaking interpretations of MK's tunes....

Long before I saw the picture of his wife Kitty when she was younger on the CD along with the lyrics, I guessed that the Long Cool Girl was his third wife!! He seems to have found in her all what he was looking for!! We always say in french Jamais 2 sans 3!! That last one is the perfect match!!! Happy for him that he found the real one and it shows on him now that he is happily married as it did after he met her

By the time Mark meet Kitty I think that is a 'complete man' in is own, I remember songs like in GH or Whoop de doo, all tracks that say one thing at the world: I am a happy man with my Long cool girl.
bye
