I've thought about starting a topic like this for awhile but last night, while listening to the ipod in the tanning bed, a song came on and I thought to myself, WTH? That makes no sense to me! I know not all lyrics have to, or are even meant to, make sense. I thought we could put some of the stranger lyrics we've all wondered about here and see how others may interpret them.

The one that got me last night was Athena by The Who. I admit I'm not a Who fan, and don't even really know why this is on my ipod (for hubby perhaps). The first couple verses I kinda get, but the 4th verse blows my mind. Here it is....


Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You got me requisitioned blondie

The first couple of verses I think Athena is a woman he's in love with and is telling her just how much. 3rd verse-maybe she's left him and so he's fretting about it. But then the above verse.... who the heck knows?

Any Who fans out there that know anything about this song?
