Artful Lodger. I believe the lyric is 'the meter's dead'. There is a school of thought about that it is 'the meat is dead'.

This video reacquainted me with the late Jack Wild. What a talent! What a tragedy!

  • it's "the meter's dead!" no question.

    The meter is the gas / electric meter that you have to put coins in to make work - typically found in a bedsit like this song is.

    He can't make a thing because he has no credit.

    The "meat is dead" makes no sense anyway. Meat is already dead. That's why it's meat. . .

    The first interpretation links to the character's poverty - no money to buy fuel...

  • nice norm
