Trivia Question...
What is an "Endless Wire"? ________________________________ Endless Wire (Endless Wire) 4:09 I ain't got nothin' to hide My mind is an endless wire I got both feet on the ground I ain't got no one for hire I ain't got a thing to show My lines have all expired So don't go foolin' around And set my wheels afire Down in the dark of a burnt out soul There's a few good second hand dreams Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you Down in the black of a bottomless hole There's a few good second hand scenes Deep in the dark of the heavenly blue Where the sea runs green I ain't got nothin' to give My life is an endless climb My love's a paperback dream I don't have nothin' but time I ain't got a thing to show I don't know my own name So don't go foolin' around And set my wheels afire Down in the dark of a burnt out soul There's a few good second hand dreams Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you Down in the black of a bottomless hole There's a few good second hand scenes Deep in the dark of the heavenly blue Where the sea runs green I ain't got nothin' to hide My mind is an endless wire I got both feet on the ground I don't have no one for hire I ain't got a thing to show My life is an endless dream My love's a paperback dream I ain't got nothin' but time [This message has been edited by classicmixdj (edited June 03, 2003).] |

I would guess an Endless Wire is a reference to having an open-minded thought process that is uninfluenced by say,self-censorship or the opinions and actions of others. It's the same as saying your heart is an open book or that you are a free spirit. The wire could be like the spools of wire that get connected to "power poles",(for lack of a better name.) Hope that helps. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif It's been the B! Catch ya on the flipside of Sundown! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Great question.I have a strong feeling that "Endless Wire" is simply another association of words that stuck in Gord's brain and eventually became a song title and nucleus for his lyrics. Much like the tale of the NO(bo) hotel in Manaus, Brazil.I believe that "Endless Wire" is another electrically connected title.So what was the inspiration for this song and album title?? I can't put my finger on it just now and no doubt Valerie Magee or somebody will correct me if my memory is failing, but somewhere I am sure I read or heard an interview in which Gord explained that he had been rewiring a boat and used up so much wire it seemed "endless"
