Last Bus From the Che
Rob Crow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should I leg it so far?
I'll leave
All right, I go away
Maybe this is their last song
Maybe after this here song
Then I can leave happily
My favorite song
I will wait just one more song
Guess I have missed the last bus
But they played that song
The lyrics to Rob Crow's Last Bus From the Che present an internal struggle within the singer's mind. The main chorus line of the song, "What if the last bus is gone? Should I leg it so far? I'll leave. All right, I go away," reflects the singer's desire to leave the place, which is the "Che," and the uncertainty of whether they should leave or not, given the possibility of missing the "last bus." The ambiguity in this line highlights a sense of hesitation within the singer, suggesting they may have an internal conflict that prevents them from making a clear decision.
The song also features a self-deprecating tone, implying that the singer believes their experience at the Che has been uneventful so far. They're waiting for that one crucial moment or song that would make their time at the place worth it. The line, "Maybe this is their last song, maybe after this here song, then I can leave happily even though they haven't played my favorite song," suggests that the singer has not enjoyed the songs played so far, and they're waiting for the "favorite song" to make the experience more satisfying.
The final verse suggests a moment of resolution, as the singer hears their "favorite song" as the last song played before they leave. This seems to reconcile the internal conflict presented earlier in the song, as they decide to stay just for that "one more song." Overall, the singer's desire to leave the Che presents a sense of aimlessness, which is only corrected by the "favorite song" playing at the end.
Line by Line Meaning
What if the opportunity has passed?
Should I make a desperate effort to make it anyway?
Should I leg it so far?
Should I run as hard as I can to catch up?
I'll leave
I'll go away and give up on trying to make it
All right, I go away
I'm okay with leaving without regret
Maybe this is their last song
Perhaps this is the end of the experience
Maybe after this here song
After this single track, it might all be over
Then I can leave happily
I can go home with content knowing I tried
Even though they haven't played
Even though they didn't play the one song I wanted to hear
My favorite song
The song I was hoping to hear
I will wait just one more song
I'll wait until the next song to see if it's my favorite one
Guess I have missed the last bus
It seems I am too late and missed the opportunity
But they played that song
At least I got to hear my favorite song before the end
