Re: Out on the tiles question...

Certainly not...just not sure that the actual question is?!?!?!

 As far as the change in tude during the song I guess, it's an expression of
frustration that a happy guy has to deal with the woes of the non stop world
so he ergo goes out on the tiles?

never dissected it before but now that you mention it that's what I figure..


ok NOW I'm off to go keep pace with the rat race and hit the
malls...ugh...think I'll stay local and support the local sherriff.
