Here’s the story behind Meat Abstract. For the other songs you’ve got to wait till Andy writes the stories down (next up should be Infernal Love).

There’s a thread out there “Potato Junky Solved”..I don’t know how to link to other threads, so just use the search engine.

I think Jude the Obscene is about a kid made to feel inferiour, worthless and all around emotionally neglected by his parents. I think the child was unwanted as well, perhaps the mom was ashamed of having the child (maybe because she got pregnant young?) Or maybe there was something with the kid which she thought was embarrising, maybe he was slow or socially awkward..

Suicide Pact..You First
Ten Year Plan is pretty simple. Talking about life in the music biz and their current state in it.

Sister- (I think) is a man’s (Andy’s?) conversation with a mental institution nurse. Basically he’s gone a bit nuts after years of hectic life of the road in a band. “Miles of Wires, flourescent lights…”

To me the whole album seems to have an undertone of the band being disillusioned after years in the biz. Which fits since SPYF was the first release after A&M dropped them

‘jude the obscene’ was obviously inspired by german author patrick süßkinds novel ‘das parfum’. I recently came across the english translation, on one certain page of the book you can find a major part of andys lyrics.
