It’s from Diane written by Grant Hart. As the song’s based on a true story these may be places in Minneapolis, MN.

I meant particularly that places (“Robert street” and “Lake Cove”). Maybe somebody have info about it… :)
I’ll trying to translate some T? lirycs to russian and also would like to make footnotes (note) to the text…
… and please, what mean “troublegum”? In few words? Tell me like native speakers :)

“Troublegum” is not a real word.
It is a play on words - bubblegum changed to troublegum. “Bubblegum” while really a word for chewing gum, can also be used to describe ‘pop’ music.
My interpretation of the title, Troublegum, is that the songs are poppy (bubblegum), with a hint of aggression (troublegum)… it’s hard to write this shit down, but I’m sure people know what I’m talking about :p

The song Tango Romeo has a couple of N Irish refs, ‘Try to avoid being R-U-Seen’ (the RUC was the name of the police over here until recently)
Yeah, that’s probably right, cos in the Shameless lyrics it says ‘try to avoid being R.U.Ceen’, too much of a coincidence not to be!
When they played it in Manc on the Shameless tour, I seem to remember that Andy blasted the Manchester police, but I could be wrong? Anyone know of any specific grievances?

There’s a Robert Street in West St Paul, Minneapolis. Long street. Many it’s long enough to “cruise down… all night long”?

And there’s also a Lake Cove Court, a Lake Cove Drive, Lake Cove appartments etc. So it probably just describes usual hangouts in St. Paul, Minneapolis.
Good luck with your further translation work.

Finally I found what I’ve been looking for: it’s an interview where Grant explains the meaning of Diane.
A bit more patience and I could have saved some posts. :rolleyes:

what about the six mile water thing. I seen a sign in Antrim for the six mile water.
This is an area in the town Ballyclare where Andy is from. A guy who my mother is married to lives in a place called six mile meadow in the town, and there is a stream/river thing that runs behind his house so this is probably the six mile water mentioned in the song.

Hi, it’s me again :)
If I have not bothered, I wanna ask some questions about HA texts…
1. Who is Saint Piter? (from Hey Satan)?
2. What mean “Everyday Joe”? Some screamager? :)
(Watch You Go)
3. “You can find yourself in a factory
As the credits roll” (My Voodoo Doll)
what mean “credits roll”???
“Voodoo Doll” somehow connected to drugs ???
I think that, because Andy while singing this song, sometimes push itself in a hand. Maybe I’m wrong…
4. Not in any dictionary I could not find word “letch”!
What mean “letching corpse of rock ‘n’ roll”?
Thank you very much!!! I’m really waiting :rolleyes:

St Peter - guards the gates of Heaven in Christianity
Everyday Joe - slang for ‘average guy’
Credits Roll - Like at the end of the film, when the credits (who made the film) come up

“You can find yourself in a factory as the credits roll” I assume means that you can go into a factory at a young age and spend your whole life there if you just wait for something to happen to you.
Yesterday was Bloom’s Day, in honour of Thingy Bloom, in James Joyce’s Ulysses, Joyce being referred to in Potato Junkie

As you can tell from the second link, the whole thing is somewhat pretentious twaddle. I think T? had the right idea when it came to juicy Joycey (and no I haven’t read Ulysses - got bored after about a third of it, which had taken 6 months, totally turgid)

Didn’t you know why “Joe”? It’s just interesting for me.
Because this name is widespread?
What do you think about “Voodoo doll”? Some refers to drugs in that song, or I just the paranoiac? :D
Clapham omnibus??? Oh, God… :)

if there is any ‘deeper’ meaning to the words ‘Opal Mantra’, or is it just something they made up like Screamager, etc. ? I does sound like ‘Opel Manta’, and one of those is said to be on the E.P. Cover.
I believe Andy had an opel manta as his first car but, he broke it! Or so i remember… he had a piece in the ‘Newcastle Evening Chronicle’…Andy in the ‘local’ papers motoring supplement!!!
