For moment I thought I turned you gay, but I guess I'm on the right track for my masterplan to finally unfold.

I take it Tucker herself wrote the text, for it's got a few inconsistencies in itself, but first, the translation: "Open the window, the high door / Tell the world: The man I love is fond... Of me / I'll make a poem, he'll sing the air / We'll put them together under the sea / The man I love is in love with me / The air's never smelled so good / It goes straight and I laugh / I was suddenly light on my feet / Immediately I jumped out of my bed, today / I hear the rhyme, was it possible / The man of my dreams takes me on an island / The man I love is in love with me (x3) / The air's never smelled so good / It goes straight and I laugh / I was suddenly light on my feet / Immediately I jumped out of my bed, today / I hear the rhyme, oh what a marvel / My dreams are beautiful, I am enchanted / The man I love is in love with me / I'll make a poem, he'll sing the air / We'll put them together under the sea / The man I love is in love (x2) / The man I love is in love with me"

And from then one I think you can understand my complaint about the song. It sucks dick, and it bites&mdash;"making" a poem is correct, but it's not beautiful, like, at all; putting "them" together under the sea... The air and the poem? What? [The air] goes straight and I laugh? What kind of crippling social condition is that, seriously. The "light on my feet" part may look good to you in English but it's Google translated into French, much like the entire text if I were to assume, in fact I literally put this sentence into Google Translation and I ended up with the exact same translation as the original lyrics. Immediately jumping out of your bed today is not quite a pleonasm, but it still doesn't make sense either. I have no idea what "hearing the rhyme" is all about either, by the way; most of the text doesn't rhyme, and it's not even trying to be a prose, which is quite unfortunate given that more than half of it is a repetition. And the rest seems to take place in a warped reality completely detached from anything else within the realm of Euclidian logic so I'm not gonna try to analyze that. But the instrumental is nice.
