    "Barroom eyes shine vacancy"

    Quellen
    Aus einem Songtext von Bruce Springsteen/von den Disco Boys wiederverwendet.

    Princess cards she sends me with her regards
    Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
    Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
    To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted
    But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
    Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
    You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
    You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
    But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
    I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
    I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
    And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free.

    'Barroom eyes' sounds to me like an ironic twist on 'bedroom eyes' -- not a come-hither expression, but a blank, vacant expression, maybe typical of sad people in bars? Or vacancy in the sense of a room available, like at a motel where a neon sign shines 'Vacancy'?

    There are other strange spots. He seems to have coined 'stand on file' in a sense sort of combining 'go on record' + 'stand firm.' The 'blue walls' seem to be her eyes, blocking him out, denying him the chance to see her true self (or only if he looks hard)? 'Electric' seems to be meant as a noun, in the sense of 'electricity,' even though it isn't. No idea about the carpetbaggers; maybe there's a story behind the song.

    Barroom eyes shine vacancy,...

    Vacancy here can also be translated into "accomodation available", meaning a certain readiness for intimate interpersonal contact.

    "Blue walls", in one way another, may also refer to either of these:

    Female equivalent of blue balls. Also incorrectly called blue ovaries. When you're fooling around with someone and you want to go farther and they don't...
    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter...

    blue wall of silence, blue wall, wall of silence
    the secrecy of police officers who lie or look the other way to protect other police officers
