What do song lyrics really mean?

[Dingdell]

Having a chat today with a friend of mine who invariable (and annoyingly) proves themselves right in any discussion we have. Today I would like to turn that around if possible.  The Eagles song 'Take it Easy' has the following lyrics;

Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine.



Does this or does this not mean he is trying to (difficult to phrase on a family forum) get rid of the white stuff? I think it does, my pal thinks it means he is trying to relax and just unwind, think through the day and relax that type of thing but no sex involved.

Thoughts please?

Oi!!  He would like to think so yes but normal is such a difficult thing to define....

So you think it's nothing to do with 'you know what'?

Of course not. I think you are suffering from Billy Hardy syndrome.

never understood what, youve been out riding fences ,  really means

"Riding fences"

In the old west, cowboys used to ride along endless miles of cattle fencing to check for breakage, do repairs and round up strays.

Sometimes they could be away from home for weeks.

Oh bollocks - how do I delete this thread?

've got seven women on my mind,

The suggestion was that these were the days of the week. Mon-Thur with hard work, Fri and Sat with partying, and Sunday with church.

Google doesn't know about Billy Hardy. He used to work with me sometimes when I was nobbut a stripling.

He had a very vivid imagination. Most of the things he imagined involved sex or violence.

One on his most famous quotes (after me and another friend had wound him up) was, "If I had two knives, I'd stab both of you!"

Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
my load, got a world of trouble on my mind
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my
cover, she's so hard to find Take it easy, take it easy
don't let the sound of your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy


Billy Hard syndrome - maybe - but all of the above makes me think he's looking for a bit of rumpy?

Gutted. Friend reads Blonde. There may be a forfeit involved.
