What Are These Lyrics About???

I was listening to this song, always liked it... nod...but I've never really understood what it's about..lol..only the vaguest of ideas, really. confused

Can you decipher it??


Pineapple Head ~Crowded House
(and it's actually a very pretty song..)


Detective is flat
No longer is always flat out
got the number of the getaway car
didn't get very far

As lucid as hell and these images
moving so fast like a fever
So close to the bone
I don't feel too well

And if you choose to take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark to inflame you

Sleeping alone for pleasure
The pinapple head
It spins and it spins
like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago

And if you choose to take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark to inflame you

Sleeping alone for pleasure
The pineapple head
It spins and it spins
like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend

...it was a long time ago

And if you choose to take that path
Would you come to make me pay
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To inflame you



Any ideas??... confuse

Pineapple Head always brings to mind Tina Turner's Private Dancer hairstyle. Come to think of it, David Bowie also had a pineapple hairdo at some point.

Don't worry about Crowded House, they're from New Zealand, so we forgive them for not making any sense at all, whatsoever. biggrin

lol...yeah, but Neil Finn's lyrics usually DO make quite a bit of sense, and are so earnest and poetic...this one, tho, just loses me... neutral
