That was fucking intense...

oh wow....... oh wow....... I never realised the insane potential this had as a live song till now. One of my favourites from Damien, and this is so powerful. Speechless (:

We'll in one of the live versions damien talked about the story behind the song. And he said it was about "Spending a little bit to much time in your room as a teenager" So i think that really clears up what it's about :p

@MrDevil0910 In this version it seems he is saying "bishop" not "fishing". In another version he says that God gave me a rod...for fishing. Like biblical reference.

Epic.

0:46 Damn I melted at his stare.
-
it is about being a fish and there are too many gingantic fishing boats off the coast of Ireland.
-

-
That. Was. Fucking. Awesome.

love this song live but thought a poor choice for his studio album 9

However it can be! Fall to do Falliment in his life! Do you agree ???
however, What does literally mean "fishing"? is it an Irish dialect to say "masturbating" ?

@MrDevil0910 just a metaphor... he's "fishing for girls" with the 'rod' (meaning THAT male body part, of course) god gave him... ;) basically, he's saying he masturbates to keep himself in good shape for when he'll fish/catch a girl...

mm ... Are you sure ? Remember that Rice is very ambiguos in his songs! He is Catholic and maybe he want say Rod for say "reason for his life" and fishing for say "fishing a way for go out"! Maybe it's my interpration and is wrong! I'm not English but I translate this! =)

@MrDevil0910 of course it's all based upon interpretations, none of us can be sure... but do you agree the song is about masturbation? if so, then i'd say the meaning of the rod thing is pretty obvious..
