Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car
Does anyone know the real meanings behind the lyrics? I never really understood them..
__________________You're a precious stone You're out on your own You know everyone in the world But you feel alone Daddy won't let you weep Daddy won't let you ache Daddy gives you as much as you can take A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car A little uptight You're a baby's fist Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist When you see daddy coming You're licking your lip Nails bitten down to the quick A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car You've got a head full of traffic You're a siren's song You cry for mama And daddy's right along He gives you the keys to a flamin' car Daddy's with you wherever you are Daddy's a comfort Daddy's your best friend Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday's alright... |

Although I did laugh a lot at the joking suggestion in U2:ATEOTW that Daddy is Paul McGuinness. |

I simply don't buy the religious meaning even if Bono claims that's what it's about. For me it will always be a song in the vain of Like A Rolling Stone, a vicious put-down of a spoilt rich girl.

I think the spoiled little rich girl is the surface interpretation... I think the "butterfly kisses up and down your wrist" line is the most obvious heroin reference. |

I heard daddy was a pedophile Irish priest whose actions have haunted the subject of the song years after the fact ... hence the destructiveness.
