i dont think "bettin on the bull in heather" has anything to do with the rest of the song.
i used to always question this sorta thing with alot of nirvana lyrics and shit. but i dont so much anymore.

the verses remind me of bondage or submissive sex. i dont know. im probably wrong

umjammer atomsk 06.14.2006 01:08 PM

Here, check out the imagery used in the song's video.

i love steve's beats on this one. all he has is a high-hat, a snare, a bass drum, and the little shaker

umjammer atomsk 06.14.2006 01:14 PM

It's like some of the raddest beats harry potter has ever done, yo. Simply ace.

bull in the heather
betting on the bull in the heather

sounds like Kim is describing me when I load her up full of my man-meat in her furry natural bush.

hmmm, also, isn't it one of the songs where Steve uses a maracas (spelling???) in lieu of a drumstick? I think he does it in the video, but I haven't seen it for a loooong time.

Oh, come on. It's about sex.

umjammer atomsk 06.14.2006 01:43 PM

Yeah, sex with horses.

gmku 06.14.2006 01:45 PM

Stud horses.

Rob Instigator 06.14.2006 02:15 PM

stud instigators

It's about sex (with the horse thrown in for good measure) as a double entendre of polymorphic psychosexuality, but it's more than just about the sex act; like all of Thurston's (?) lyrics on the subject of love, sex is transformed into godhead, the unification of the opposites, with one's true love, thus hearkening towards the meaning of existence itself.

It's about picking the right true love & then sticking with the evol four leaf clover love through honesty & uninhibited communication.

val-holla-ing 06.14.2006 06:11 PM

the bull in the heather is a horse, and she's talking about betting on it. i think it's drugs.
