I heard the opinion that Everybody Pays is about David.

Yeah I've suggested that before but MK has never said.

Lets See You possibly Ed but it doesn't all fit.

Heavy Up should have been thrown away!

Absolutely!

Most likely this song is a "gift" to the person by whom it was originally inspired, just like Monteleone. Mark keeps a secret about who it is, which is kinda surprising.

I remember MK said that the idea for Heavy Up came from a conversation with Bob Dylan, he said to MK about an argument with Bob's manager and Bob used that expression with the manager.

"his response to being told to “lighten up” was “I’ll lighten up for you if you’ll heavy up for me.”

That's what MK said during the DTRW promo interviews, which can be found in the thread dedicated to that record in this forum.

Yes. Another situational song:)

It's impressive when someone goes to a shoes shop and came back hope with a song.

Or when he goes to a kitchen store.

Unless the song is Heavy Up.

Now My Bacon Roll, that was a good trip to the cafe.

Or when it rains in Seattle...

MK was actually inspired to write this while watching the movie Sleepless in Seattle, he's a big rom-com guy.

And the history from restaurant or bar?

[Jules]

And the history of the restaurant or bar?

Yes, watching an Arsenal football game with Paul Crockford at the bar of the hotel where they were during a previous tour, un Seattle.

I always assumed that "Heavy Up" was quite obviously inspired by that mother of all assholes, Donald Trump. Just like "Don't Crash the Ambulance" was quite obviously about Bush Sr. and Jr., or like "El Macho" was obviously about Jerry Springer. Which doesn't mean that everything fits - it doesn't. But that's the freedom of art: You take something out of the newspaper, but then enrich it, change it, transform it and make it something that's more universally true. A "character" that doesn't exist as such, but is constantly being reborn in various human beings. I know plenty of people who should "heavy up", even in my own life. 

Oh, and I like "Heavy Up" a lot.

El Macho is quite a weird song lyrically and for me it isn't obvious that it's about Springer. Possible, but maybe not.

Don't Crash The Ambulance is very stupid, did MK not notice two terms of Clinton?!

Why stupid? If this is a conversation between father and son it makes sense.

It suggests Sr showing Jr round the White House which obviously wouldn't happen.

Between Bush Snr and Bush Jnr I have always assumed.
