Anyone care to try to interpret these? Of course the price of gas was sky high when this was written, but other than that I can't figure out what she's talking about. I like the 'England' part, though. The song itself is fairly spastically hyper, not unlike an E high, I suppose. It would be a good song to listen to if you'd had 10 cups of coffee, as well.
BLONDIE LYRICS
"I'm On E"
I'm on E. I'm on E. I'm on E. Got nothin' to say. I used to have a car of my own
I'm on E. I'm on E. I'm on E for England. Laid out for maybe a week
I've walked my feet to the bone
I'd give my life for a car of my own
I'm on E. I'm on E. Two weeks ago Saturday I was on TV. I'd like a show of my own
But you see I'm still on E even though everything is happening to me
So when you're drivin' on home
Don't regret your loan
I'm on E. I'm on E. I gave my car to a guy named Vinnie. I feel like gassin' my feet
They've totalled me and skipped a beat. I used to have a car of my own
28 or 58. Walking to refrigerator
To the pump, do the bump
Still on E, I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to stop my feet
28 or 58
Walking to refrigerator
To the pump, do the bump
Still on E, I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to fill my feet up
[Whistle until fade]
