Is de schoonheid van een nummer niet voor een deel dat je de betekenis niet hoeft te vatten om het een goed liedje te vinden? Dat gezegd hebbende: Wie me de betekenis achter 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' van Procol Harum kan uitleggen is een knappe jongen/meid... De band had zelf ook amper een idee wat ze destijds zongen... "We skip the light fandango..."
Dat is in één woord samengevat waar het over gaat. Drugs. Wit poeder om preciezer te zijn
Dat is mijn idee iig als je de vertaling van de songtekst bekijkt 
Eng - We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
Whe we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the moment my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
NL- We sloegen het lichte geflauwekul over
En deden radslagen op de vloer
Ik voelde me een beetje zeeziek
Het publiek schreeuwde om meer
De ruimte gonste harder
Terwijl het plafond weg vloog
Riepen we om nog een drankje
De ober bracht een blad
En daardoor dat later
Toen de molenaar zijn verhaal vertelde
Dat haar gezicht dat eerst een beetje spookachtig was
Nog witter dan bleek werd
Ze zei dat er geen reden is
En dat de waarheid duidelijk te zien is
Maar ik dwaalde door mijn speelkaarten
Liet haar niet zijn
Een van de zestien Vestaalse maagden
Die op weg waren naar de kust
Op het moment waren mijn ogen open
Ze hadden net zo goed gesloten kunnen zijn
En daardoor dat later
Toen de molenaar zijn verhaal vertelde
Dat haar gezicht dat eerst een beetje spookachtig was
Nog witter dan bleek werd
There was a guy...
An underwater guy who controlled all the sea...
Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge...
From New York and New Jersey
This monkey's gone to heaven (4x)
The creature in the sky,
Got sucked in a hole...now there's a hole in the sky..
And the ground's not cold...and if the ground's not cold,
Everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns
I'll get mine, too
This monkey's gone to heaven (4x)
Rock me Joe!
If man is 5 (3x)
Then the devil is 6 (3x)
The devil is 6
And if the devil is 6
Then god is 7 (3x)
This monkey's gone to heaven (9x)

dudes... james is not singing cristianity.. he's just singing about love and stupid friends.
in school james was a geek and was always always with these guys who thought they were cool, who he now sarcastically called the wise men. james like this girl, and told them, his 'friends'. these wise men were also attracted to this girl but all 3 failed to get her. hence they were upset. james was a geek and shy so he never made a move on her. so for fun and pranks they revealed to her that james was interested in her. When these wise men told the girl, lo and behold, she was actually interested in james after all and asked him to be his steady boyfriend. thats why he was wondering what the wisemen told her and felt betrayed by it. later on he realized he had the last laugh since he has the girl and those guys are now only have a semi (short for semi-trailer) by the sea. meaning, they were losers who live in a trailer by the sea. where are you now dudes..its just a simple get back for the betrayal. james got the girl and they regret it. hope this song makes sense for you people now.

This Monkey's gone to Heaven, van The Pixies, daar heb ik nooit een drol van gesnopen. Ik vraag me af of er wel iets aan te snappen vált.
it's been said before, but not on this site seemingly, but this song seems to be about the ruinous effect on the environment of human pollution. Black Francis said that the inspiration for the song was a sense of anger at the destruction of the natural world, and this is clear from the lyrics...
In the first verse some kind of underwater worker is killed by all the trash from N.Y and N.J being dumped in the sea. I think the line "this monkey's gone to heaven" refers to this fellow. Humans are 'monkeys' we evolved from them, and this one has died and gone to heaven.
The second verse continues on a broader note, refering to the depletion of the ozone layer ("there's a hole in the sky") and the global warming consequences thereof ("everything's gonna burn...") this is everybody's problem: ("we'll all take turns") and now I think that the line about the monkey going to heaven instead refers to the singer dying due to the collapse of the earths environment.
I've no idea how the final verse relates to this, although I like the interpretation given by tenniel above.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She done things I never expected
And I need more time
She's got a sister
And god only knows how I've missed her
On the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time
And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what I'm saying?
But I need more ....
Coz I'll be you and you'll be me
There's lots and lots for us to see
There's lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?
She's got a brother
We don't get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me
She's got a cousin
In fact she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me
And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what I'm saying?
But I need more ....
Coz I'll be you and you'll be me
There's lots and lots for us to see
There's lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?
Pull the car over you’re frightening the kids. What did you promise us about grinning in the rear view without your fake teeth in? Keep your glass eye glued on the end of the highway up ahead of us. The collision is always licking its lips. You weren’t supposed to open the door. Just keep the plan from drifting of course. We’ll attend to the terrified first class convinced there’s a hoof print on the bow. All hail the wounded heart contingents who’ve given us something more than faultlessness to sing about. Long live the prosthetic live wires. The faulty mechanism of hope has disintegrated. Your captain nailed his feet to someone else’s ship at the sight of me. Do what your mother tells you and put down the sheriff’s horse. The choir on the black box rejoiced splendidly, singing hallelujah the king is dead. The king is dead.

Het schijnt dat hij voor deze teksten heeft gekozen, zodat iedere luisteraar op zijn eigen manier invulling kan geven aan de nummers. Het gaat hem meer om de associaties die de woorden en de muziek oproepen, dan om logische teksten te maken.
Ik moet zeggen: dat werkt wel! door de muziek, teksten en de vaak onverstaanbare zang heeft deze cd iets mysterieus en ongrijpbaars, wat ik soms nog weleens mis in het latere werk van de band.
Hier is de link naar de teksten:

Ik moet zeggen dat ik de teksten die ik zelf meende te horen, soms leuker of intrigerende vond dan wat hier neergeschreven staat... lol...
