PREORDER: For Crying Out Loud - Jim's Favorite Line - T-Shirt

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking
Deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart

Jim Steinman: I love that 'cause it's so blatantly a boner line and having the gall to give it to Meat Loaf. I had so many people say, is that 'cause the pants are too tight? Is that 'cause of the weight, or is that a metaphor? I said, actually it's just a boner line. I just want to put it in there, and even to this day almost every song I write had what I call the boner line in it. It's just some line that's so specifically erotically sexual that it doesn't even try to be poetic.

Yet I find that very poetic, you know. You belong inside my aching heart. Can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart? I don't know. That makes no sense to me but that's an example. That's so specific a sexual reference in a song, that's so ecstatic that I just like that kind of incongruity.
