A Rolling "What does this even mean?" lyric thread...

OK, starting with:

Kool and the Gang: "Cherish"

"I often pray before I lay down.. by your side
that if you receive your calling before I awake, could I make it through the night?"


Umm, any ideas?

Often wondered about that one meself. For some reason I always think "receive your calling" = die. Which perhaps makes even less sense.

although

"The next life that we live in
Remains to be seen
Will you be by my side"

supports the death interpretation.

Kool likes the older lady.

Then what is the "could I make it through the night" part about? A gas leak in Kool's house? Or is he just saying that it would be difficult to sleep with a corpse lying next to you?

Maybe it's "if you receive your Carlin"...

Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule!

It's not only bad songs that suffer from this. I love Paul McCartney's "Jet," but try figuring that out.
