While I totally hear the "box or the bag" as coffins and bodybags-
I also interpret it as "boxer or the bag"- the fighter or the punching bag.
because he can't figure out if he is punching or getting punched- probably both.
when someone close dies-especially in war- the gut punch is undeniable.

I always thought it was Box or the Bag forever until I read someone say it was Boxer or the Bag. I think the first is correct but the way Eddie sings and draws out certain words it can easily be interpreted as Boxer or the Bag. I love the symbolism behind that. Like you said, you lose someone close and you might feel so angry you want to start punching, or maybe you do. At the same time you feel like you just got punched in the stomach.

Ed sings is different all the time. Sometimes its good, sometimes it doesnt flow at all. I think they like the ambiguity of it.

It's been a few weeks. I'm still laughing. This is got to be my favorite.

On the ceiling
On a Porsche
Glitter
Fairy
Landfill
I wanna leave Bennigan's

One bizzare hymn
On a beach the little horses
Mona said
I wanna leave Bennigan's

On a wheel
On a wizard
On a whale
Anna Nicole's mama said that I won't wanna see Anna fall down again
And the wizard
On Aleve, a Gump I know
I said I don't want a whale in a box or a bag

Ah yeeaaahhhh
Can you see dems?
Out on the Porch
Potato wave
ICEE dems
Brown the runway
Anna no, Anna no...
I don't wanna see
Make me fries

ICEE
I don't know why they suntan nails
On a Carmine unaware
I said I don't know where there's a box or a bag

Can you see dems?
Oh, I know poor boys
Potato wave
ICEE dems
Brown the runway
Anna no, Anna no
I don't wanna shave it off

I don't wanna stare
I don't wanna stair
I don't wanna slayer
I don't know all the words
Yet
