ok, but what does that even mean??? i love this song, i just dont kno what it means (intro is awesome) |
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 |
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
|
It's like some of the raddest beats harry potter has ever done, yo. Simply ace.

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.
|
Yeah, sex with horses.
|
Stud horses.
|
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. |
the bull in the heather is a horse, and she's talking about betting on it. i think it's drugs.

what are your ideas? |
ok so betting on the bull means betting on a horse. but what the hell does in the heather mean? heather? what the hell is that?
|
heather is meadow
some say the bull is a cock some say the heather is an asshole some say i am an asshole some feed a horse a banana in the video a horserace is shown. horses also figure into the cd artwork & one can literally bet on a horse named "The Bull in the Heather", but the lyrics are poetry, so they can be intrepreted on many levels specifically, what is heather? meadow is heather the bull in the pasture plowin' the back forty |

Yes he uses the shaker as a drum stick. I love it when he does that. |

here is my take...
a delicious wordplay Bull can obviously can mean an animal or a 'bull market'. Merrill Lynch's logo is a bull and I believe they are out of New York... http://www.adversityuniversityblog.c...y-travis-s.jpg Heather is the plant which is quite common around this time of year. http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=95251&rendTypeId=4 So a bull in the Heather is an aggressive animal waiting to pounce. The second meaning is presumably related to American hyperized sexual roles. Whether it be quartback and cheerleader roles, or banker and submissive roles. 'Betting' on the bull in the heather seems to acknowledge the inevitably of these two forces colliding. The phrase also seems to infer that there isn't much more to these people than the roles they play. Heather is obvioulsy a name for a girl. The whole phrase is even more amzing when you see an animal lurking in the wilds. It gives the phrase a greater meaning... You don't need and incredible imagination to know what 'in' means |
Bob Nastanovich of Pavement is/was a big horse bettor- anyway, cut a long story short, he gave Kim a bumper sticker for a horse named Bull In The Heather that had been racing in the Kentucky Derby. Or something like that. It was just the name of a horse. The bumper sticker can be seen within the single art.
 See? Y'all are reading far too deep into this shit. |
where the fuck is atari 2600 anyway
|
the name may have been about the horse, but the song is about ballsdeep copulations
|
I always thought this track was about oxycontin (10mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg etc.)
"Tell me that you wanna score me" "Tell me that you can't afford me" "Time fr turning over and over" |
