One's On The Way
Sissy Spacek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Liz flies all the way to France
And jacquees seen in a discotheque
Doing a brand new dance
And the White House social season
Should be glittering and gay
But here in Topeka
The faucet is dripping
The kids are a bawling
One of them is toddling
And one of them is crawling
And ones on the way
I'm glad that Raquel Welch
Just signed a million dollar pact
And Debbie's out in Vegas
Working up a brand new Act
While the TV showing newlywed
A real fun game to play
But here in Topeka
The screen doors are banging
The coffee is boiling over
And the wash needs a hanging
One wants a cookie
And one wants to changing
And ones on the way
The song "One's On The Way" by Sissy Spacek is a commentary on the experiences of women living in two different worlds: the glitz and glamour of celebrity life and suburban motherhood. The song's first verse describes the luxurious and exciting lives of female celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. These women are so wealthy that they can afford to travel to France to get their hair done or dance the night away in fancy discotheques. Meanwhile, in the second verse, Spacek describes the mundane and exhausting experiences of a typical mother in Topeka, Kansas. The rain is falling, the faucet is dripping, and the kids won't stop crying. One child is even on the way, adding to the chaos.
Through her lyrics, Spacek highlights the contrast between the lives of wealthy, famous women and the struggles of everyday mothers. While the first verse suggests that celebrity life is full of fun and adventure, the second verse emphasizes the hard work and sacrifice that comes with motherhood. By juxtaposing these two worlds, Spacek raises important questions about gender roles and expectations.
Overall, "One's On The Way" is a poignant and insightful commentary on the experiences of women in the 1970s. By highlighting the contrast between celebrity life and suburban motherhood, Spacek sheds light on the challenges and joys of both worlds.
