This is way ahead of it's time. Sure having rock stars be talking like this about sexuality and gender nowadays would be expected. But in the early 80's?? Damn, awesome as usual Paul Westerburg.
I NEED NOTES FOR THIS SONG!! AND FOR HERE COMES A REGULAR - PIANO PART!! PLEASE SOMEONE WHO HAVE IT SEND IT TO ME AND HELP ME!!!!!! THE REPLACEMENTS FOREVER!!!!! )))))
Paul Westerberg is one of the greatest lyric writers of all time in my opinion.
All the crap out there and so few know of this wonderful music. Such is life. Saw them at the 40 watt when it was on Broad Street in Athens about '85 or so. Wish we had video phones then. Only have the memory and that's a bit fuzzy.
um. do people realize the term "he she" is offensive? do you mean the song is referring to transgendered individuals (which its most likely not)? or gender variant folk? or just....androgynous people who like messing with the gender binary? im sure "he she" is not all encompassing.
I think that this song has the meaning that YOU want it to have. You CAN look at as some sort of he she.. Or. You can. Stop. And just listen. And assest the true beauty here. And you will learn. This is more than some sort of song about some sort of he she. It's about love.
Great song, once of my favorites from The Mats.... but word of advice.. the disclaimer doesnt work, since this is not fair use. Fair Use means you can use clips from a song to back up an opinion or view on it, for journalistic purposes. Posting a whole song without that is not fair use, it is copyright infringement.
"he might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad" sums up my relationship with my father perfectly. This band wrote the soundtrack of my life way before I was even born.
I got to see Color Me Obsessed at the Madison Film Festival a few weeks ago. Huuummm. Really good, lots of Mats ass kissing, but seriously, a documentary with none of the musicians and none of their music? I'm not quite that cinematic. I wanted some drunk tunes, sober tunes, goofy tunes...you know the replacements. But if you are a Mats fan go see it, but bring Let It Be or Tim in the car with ya cause you are gonna want to hear it when its over. two point five stars/four.

@spadge321 Tom Waits is a genius and The Mats are my favourite band ever. I was just saying that this song sounds like Waits with it's surreal lyrics and Charlie Chaplin Piano.
i wasnt talking to you man , i was talking about that twat deapswift and using the fucking 'N' word like that even if he's black , its pointless man ,,
Paul was a prophet .. he foresaw and forestalled that urine stalls would have the last laugh, I thought I die, it seemed so funny to me, last laugh you me a guy who taught you how to be .. lonely.. oh so lonely. Yeah MN rules.
@MaestroLeech thanks but honestly i got the copyright idea from a friend who made a video and the song he used got banned so he looked up the copyright laws and such
@MaestroLeech Good job. I love this song. I saw them for the 1st time opening for REM in July of 1983. Can't tell you how many times I've seen them after. Even saw Bob naked just wearing his guitar. BTW... Can you down load Mark Ronson doing Arcade Fire's WE USED TO WAIT with Boy George? It was just released on BBC radio but i can't do it. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.......Biddlehall
@tux56 I'm pretty sure by androgynous it means like he she listen to the lyrics closely and u can bear it one part he says here comes dick he's wearing a skirt and he talks about unisex...yea lol
ex boyfriend got me insanely hooked on this song, we text each other the lyrics all the time..incredible song, my personal fave (he likes here comes a regular the most). love. this. song.
thanks for posting. Let It Be is such a brilliant album and this is arguably one of the best along with unsatisfied and sixteen blue. the raw emotional vocal, simple yet sublime piano and the heart-wrenchingly honest lyrics make this one of the Mats best ever songs. enjoy it!
