BTW, imagine if they released a photo book with all the polaroids eddie took in the early days, just a thought. ;)

    uhm... i always took this line pretty much literally..
    you mean there's actually a deeper thought to it? ;)


    and that book? a 400-page best-seller would be my best guess ^^
    damn... with all the pics Lord Polaroid ever took... that thing is gonna break through the book-shelf :D

    I dunno, could be something to do with being sick of fame, gold diggers, ect. He's sick of people wanting to metaphorically take his picture, when he knows they're not interested in taking his hand, again metaphorically.

    you are talking about two different lines:

    from Porch: "hold my hand, walk beside me..."
    from Corduroy: "take my hand, not my picture..."

    two different lines from two different songs written at two different times in a life... I do not see the similarity...

    he doesn't like having his picture taken. if you ever read stories of people meeting him he shakes their hand and talks intently with them but "no pictures please"
