Green attended Emerson College briefly in 1998 before leaving to concentrate on his music, going on to co-found the anti folk group The Moldy Peaches with Kimya Dawson. In 2004 The Moldy Peaches went on hiatus and both Green and Dawson embarked on solo careers.
Green released several albums on Rough Trade Records. Among his better known songs are "Jessica" (about singer Jessica Simpson), "Novotel", "Friends of Mine", "Dance with Me", "Carolina" and "Emily", and, in Britain, his cover of The Libertines track "What a Waster".
Prior to Jacket Full of Danger in 2006, all of Green's albums had been released on the 22nd of the month. His latest album was released on March 18, 2008 and is titled Sixes & Sevens. Titles include "Morning After Midnight", "Twee Twee Dee", and "Drowning Head First", the latter a duet between Green and his girlfriend.
In January 2008, The Moldy Peaches began having a resurgence in popularity, due to their music being included in the hit indie film Juno.
Chubby Princess
Adam Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your breath starts to skip as your neck turns to slack
Lay down my chubby princess before you get some rest
'Cause tonight she's gonna put your crummy mattress to the test
And they say not so many strawberries grow in the sea
'Cause it's too late for changes in my family
And all the phoney princes still hate my guts so much
'Cause I just don't believe in bad news before lunch
And if I went back to that whorehouse tonight
Do you think I'd find a reason for a princess not to bite
For those of us folks that good health does not bless
The best news for us is the end of our death
Lay down my chubby princess before you get some rest
'Cause tonight she's gonna put your crummy mattress to the test
And if I went back to that whorehouse tonight
Do you think I'd find a reason for a princess not to bite
My cock
The lyrics of Adam Green's "Chubby Princess" song are quite cryptic, but through careful analysis, one can infer that the song is about a man trying to console his lover who is struggling with addiction. The opening line "The sweat on your lips is the rest of your smack" is a reference to drug use, as "smack" is a slang term for heroin. The second line "Your breath starts to skip as your neck turns to slack" seems to describe the physical effects of drug use, such as shallow breathing and loss of muscle tone. The following lines "Lay down my chubby princess before you get some rest, 'Cause tonight she's gonna put your crummy mattress to the test" suggest that the man is encouraging his lover to take a break and relax with him, despite the fact that their living conditions may be less than ideal.
The lyrics then shift to more abstract imagery, with lines like "And they say not so many strawberries grow in the sea" which could symbolize the futility of certain desires or goals. The next two lines "Cause it's too late for changes in my family, And all the phoney princes still hate my guts so much" could be interpreted to mean that the man feels trapped in his family situation, and that he is surrounded by insincere people who resent him. The closing line "Cause I just don't believe in bad news before lunch" seems to convey a sense of optimism, despite the dark subject matter.
The chorus of the song "And if I went back to that whorehouse tonight, Do you think I'd find a reason for a princess not to bite" is a reference to prostitution, and could be interpreted in a variety of ways. It could be a literal statement about the man's experience, or it could be a metaphor for the temptation and danger he faces in his relationship with his addicted lover.
Overall, the lyrics of "Chubby Princess" by Adam Green are highly metaphorical and open to interpretation. However, they seem to convey a sense of compassion for those struggling with addiction, as well as a sense of hope and optimism in the face of difficult circumstances.
