"C-9 is for the Naked Eyes"
- Certain Songs, The Hold Steady
Despite the massive hit, Always Something There to Remind Me - I feel that this record is somewhat underrated. There are other great tracks on this LP.
I had a friend who noted, quite perceptibly I think, that the lines:
"Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me"
and
"You'll always be a part of me ooooh"
are really about a man who has contracted a sexually-transmitted disease. It's not a bad interpretation.
By the way, this record was released under the title Burning Bridges outside of North America. Burning -- hmmm.
