Meaning

  • Most commonly believed to be about Jack falling in mad love with his dream girl, who as a result has complete control over him, pulling on his puppet strings and babying him and such. Initally, he's too lovesick to realize this, but by the end of the song, comes to the realization that he had been used. "What a fool this boy could be." (Or something similar to that.)
  • The lyrics have also been amusingly interpreted as being about oral sex, which makes sense in a way but seems quite unlikely considering Jack's other lyrical subjects on the album (monkeys blowing things up, cars, Easter, etc.).

Band Quotes

Trivia

  • Live guitar: One of his acoustics (usually) in standard tuning.

Lyrics

Sugar never tasted so good, sugar never tasted so good. Sugar never tasted good to me. Yeah...
Until her eyes crossed over, until her mind crossed over, until her soul fell next to me.
Now if the wrinkle that is in your brain has given you quite a steam,
Your fingers have become a crane pulling on these puppet strings. Yeah...

What a feeling that's begun. What a feeling that's begun.
What a feeling that's begun. What a feeling that's begun.

I felt just like a baby until I held a baby. What a fool this boy can be. Yeah...
And her thoughts like a daisy's; how my mind gets lazy. I must've been crazy not to see. Alright...
If the wrinkle that is in your brain has given you quite a steam,
Your fingers have become a crane pulling on these puppet strings.

Water never tasted so good, water never tasted so good. Water never tasted good to me.
