Has anyone ever heard 'A Case of You' by Joni Mitchell?
I love it so much. On-going argument with my friend as to whether the lyric 'I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet' is a compliment or a subtle insult. I think the latter - even a whole case of wine (as a metaphor for him) doesn't have her drunk; it's not working like it should. I love how she's referring to wine, but 'a case of you' also sounds like a bad flu which fits with the troubled nature of the song.
God she's so fecking clever. Her intonation and stressing and timing gives so much meaning to her lyrics. Like in 'Little Green' she repeats the line 'sometimes there'll be sorrow' throughout the song but in the last line she holds the final syllable of 'sorrow' for about 20 secs - because she is always sorrowful at having to give up her child.
Phew...rant over.
Joni, you are amazing!

Love, love, love that song. KD Lang did a beautiful cover as well on the lovely album 'Hymns of the 49th Parallel'. I side with your friend that that lyric is not a negative sentiment - it seems to me to be an expression of strength and surrender all at once, of an almost involuntary connection with someone who you know intimately but can't quite solve. It's an utterly brilliant line, and like all brilliant lines lends itself to mulitple interpretations. Like Freddie said, 'if you see it, it's there'. Some trivia: I was on a dating site once - I think it was plentyoffish - and the administrators had put together a list of the dumbest/weirdest taglines people put on their profiles for members enjoyment. 'I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet' was listed in the top 10. They clearly had never heard the song and had no sense of where the sentiment came from. I wrote them to explain, but don't know if they ever did anything about it because online dating is generally a horror show and I fled shortly after that.

And where is your interview? And when? And what for?
john bodega · Member since
It's at a prick factory (also known as the Dept. of the Attorney General). It's only 4 months work but I could use just about anything at the mo. ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM BROKE FROM GETTING CLOTHES.

'A prick factory' LOL LOL. Well, good luck then! And remember, even getting the interview is .002% of the battle. Hope that helps!
