When I heard this song. Why would he be upset that his homeroom angel is now a sexual woman? Confident in her beauty and showing it off. Why would that be such a shock for a man? Men like their woman to be confident and sexy, right?

J. Geils Band - Centerfold lyrics


Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

CHORUS:
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
(Repeat)

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

CHORUS

It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, Yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

good question

It's peter wolf... David lynch kicked him out of his apartment because he was "too weird". I wouldn't put much stock into anything he has to say.

I imagine it's the image we build around a high school crush. seeing your high school dream girl in a porno mag kind of messes with your image of her I imagine.

confident and sexy is definitely a turn-on but sometimes guys like innocence and find that to be an overpowering quality

10-4

Okay understood but innocence dies, there is nothing that can stop it. Would it be unrealistic to expect innocence to live on and on?

This is sad to admit, But that was my very first album I ever bought with my own money.

Awww that is cute not sad

some people have an unrealistic view of life
i think the songs mainly about the shock of seeing some thing so pure sprawled out on all fours naked
lol thats one he** of a shock

You want to hear sad, the first album I bought with my own money was Donny Osmond..LOL

was he the little bit country? or the rock n' roll?

Sexy and confident are great things. But I'm the only one that gets to see her naked.

Ok as someone who can relate to that song i feel i should give my 2 cents worth;

I had a crush on a girl in school and after graduation i never saw her again. Then one day i was at the newstand and saw a familiar face on the cover of one. So i looked at her name and recognized that she used her first name, but spelled her last name backward so she wouldn't get crazies after her.

I was shocked, floored, drooling, panicing all at the same time.

So i looked her up on myspace and found her and asked her if she was the same woman i saw, and she admited to it and laughed when i told her my reaction. Then she asked "you had a crush on me didn't you?"

and i fainted...ok maybe not, but i was like "yes" O_O

Not that was after my thing with him..lol

Yes confident and sexy is cool

Though i wouldn't want other guys

Seeing my girl naked

I think i'd be upset

She was just your high school crush, does that still apply?
