I think it's about a murdered sex worker with a now-orphaned daughter. "There's a four-poster bed for a reason", "here, older boys and girls would come to play", "Carol-Anne stands alone in the schoolyard"
I believe this track is unfortunately about one of Mike’s friends from the BDSM community who either OD’d or took her own life (can’t remember which). The lines about the 4 poster bed, the box of secrets, older boys and girls playing, inhibitions being left behind, her face beginning to shine as the door to her room closed all allude to her line of work and drug use.
so i just found a live performance of this song from this year (2023) and mike says before they start that it’s about a friend in amsterdam they met in 88 and when they went back in 89 she had aids and her 4 year old daughter got it too. ruclips.net/video/H3_A6xLRNv8/видео.htmlsi=58t2wIBG7fRjmFkd
@@Canis_Fatalis It sure did, The Queers, Screeching Weasel, Crimpshrine, Mr.T. Experience, Greenday back then, everything Lookout! Records and Ramones inspired was called pop-punk, as well as 80's/90's emo like Dag Nasty, Jawbreaker and such creating a huge scene that was considered both pop-punk and emo and post-hardcore...all of that wasn't obviously commercial pop-punk so it wasn't a genre much knew about, but NOFX actually put out one of their poppiest album with "WT2H and a B", it's great, but I was back then looking for more technical stuff like "The Death of John Smith" and what The Longest Line EP was pointing at with El Hefe replacing Steve on lead guitar, but unfortunately most of that EP was stuff they wrote with Steve, the technicality gave way to the poppier and extremely influential album they then put out, but then corrected after being instructed by Propagandhi on where to take their music shortly after Mike signed em as the second band to be on Fat.

The story makes more sense when listening to the Mad Caddies sing it.

@@lostmotel6156 it’s about a friend of his that contracted HIV and passed shortly after her diagnosis according to Mike
Face began to shine in the dark because she lit the spoon that made her OD (box full of secrets is where she hid the paraphernalia)
Wasn’t an OD
You want the best nofx song? From the same album. You should review “I wanna be your baby.” It’s a masterpiece.
That's their best song in my opinion. It was the first song I heard from them and it immediately got me hooked.
ugh...it's an ok, pop-punk song, but definitely not what I look for when I think of NOFX, I prefer their snarky/angry ways.
@@severed111 Pop-punk?... That word didn't even exist when that album was released.

@@severed111 Fair point. I guess especially if you also include the Descendents in the mix.
Wait, dude has a bad religion shirt, but doesn’t know this song? Durp, durp, durp.
Think they were gifted BR shirts recently (as of a year ago)... they had been on a BR journey for a while.
