It's about cutting hair in a basement salon "It's a real greasy jungle down there"
So says Gord, introing the song before 10-16-02 at the Hummingbird Centre
Cheers

It's about making mad passionate last day to live inspired lovemaking to your woman/man in,on or around the comfort's of your kitchen table,well actually take your pick,if the window ledge offerz a bit more comfort go for it,personally speaking, the stove elementz are might uncumfy........Everyone wanna go into the kitchen now??.....the most erotic place in your entire house!!!
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

From what I've heard and read, it was written or at least inspired as Gord and his wife made their way into Ottawa for the funeral of his mother-in-law, her mother. (Perhaps grandmother?) There is a large funeral home on Hazaldean road out in Kanata, and according to the old burning church website, the "Greasy Jungle" is a rain slicked city (Kanata or Ottawa) as seen from the highway in the middle of the night. Picture a soaked city, lights reflecting off the streets...
Evertime I drive the Queensway when it's raining, I'm apt to lok down on the slick, greasy streets of the capital and start singing that song...

Yeah, I've always felt it was about Ottawa... I thought the funeral home was on Richmond road near Hazledean Mall, but that is a good analogy...
