| To anyone that loves this song, read at least a short bio on the maddame butterfly play if not the entire play, the play is amazing and makes this song TEN times better....it makes the whole cd better....as in case anyone didnt know, pinkerton is the main character in the play.... | |

| lalala MADAME BUTTERFLY lalala... yes, it is a good song, though listening to it over and over takes a bit away from it, which means that it is not a classic. | |

| initially yeah it's a bout a kid catching a butterfly but this is to symbolise a relationship with a girl that he messed up by neglecting it. He thinks he wanst the girl but doesn't treat her right and knows it. the "i'm a dog then your a bitch" is from an argument the couple had where he went off the rails and again he's sorry cause he didn't realise the good thing he had with the girl. | |

| Qutie possibly one of the best weezer songs ever. he goes out to find a girl to love and the fates give him a chance, and he finds the most beautiful, perfect woman for him. he "does what his body tells him to" and try to keep the girl in his clutches, to hold on to her forever, but by doing this he "smothers" her and her spirit dies. this is definately one of their most heartfelt songs. | |

| When i first bought pinkerton a few years back, i didnt yet have the world e_perience to really understand this song... now though, i almost cry when i hear it because it reminds me of several different occasions where my head was not running the show... I'm sorry for what I did I did what my body told me to I didn't mean to do you harm Everytime I pin down what I think I want It slips away The ghost slips away when you cross that line and become physical with someone you will regret being with later, you can really hate yourself for it. ive been there, im sure others of you have. the part that gets me the most though is "Smell you on my hand for days, I can't wash away your scent " vivid memory of fren_ily washing my hands because of the constant reminder of what i did that only i could detect. still gives me chills... keep your pants on kiddies, rivers says so... (pinkerton is the last good wee_er album!) | |

| this song is based around the play/movie Madame Butterfly, which i believe some mentioned earlier. riveres wept uncontrollably when he watched it for the first time. its about a sailor that made false promises to a young girl young girl for sex. rivers sees this relating to himself. i suppose that he was over in japan once and slept with a young girl who loved him and mad promises to return and so on. he promised her that it wasn't a one night stand even though he knew that it was and he realized how much he hurt her. the butterfly in this song is that naive girl. "maybe you're as real as me" says that he is realizing that she has feelings too. he says that he would return but he isn't going to and he's sorry repeats at the end of the song. has to be rivers's best written song... | |

| This song is sooo magical and mellifluous, but the only part I don't like about it is the line "If I'm a dog then you're a bitch" cuz this song is so pleasant and depressing, and then Rivers stuck the word "bitch" smack dab in the middle, and it seemed kinda crude to me, but whatever. Oh yes and in the second chorus, i thought Rivers was gonna break down into tears because his voice seemed to crack and waver a bit.......awww cuuuutee | |

| my love for this song goes like this.... you are the most innocent beautiful creature, so elegant that if you stay with me you'll be losing part of yourself to me. now that wouldn't be fair to you or me. don't let me hold you back, i need to let you go. i just did this with my girlfriend, who is/was my best friend. one year gone, but im better off alone | |

| Just like "Only in dreams" rounds off the blue album, this beautiful song ends pinkerton- a truely stroming record- off brilliantly. This songs brings a tear to my eye with just the lyrics, but in many other ways because Rivers is yet to strike such form again. Long live Pinkerton :( | |
