Keeping in context of the one particular verse, the verses right before this is: "He lies and he cheats" My thoughts are that 'when your man gets weak' would be a disappointment (sorrow) that he would display such a weak character of outwardly and secretively boozing, lying and womanizing/cheating. Hard to respect and forgive such a betrayal (heart like Mary's). Here in this 1983 version Joni sings the lyrics as: "Suck Down All Those Bottles Did Up All Those Lines................ (can't make out these words....lies/lines....drugs?) Had All Those Other Women Clandestine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EsKgeiic0k Shows a man of weak character, secrecy and giving into all sorts of temptations. The meat of this song ....according to this new 2013 quote of Joni's in an article here: '1975's /Don't Interrupt The Sorrow/ (which she introduced as "the closest I ever came to being a feminist")' http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=2680&from=search Laura *********FREE PAINT****************** http://kellymoore.com/promotions/free-color-sample ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #812 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
