Owen Ashworth (Casiotone for the Painfully Alone) explains:
“…about cruising for gay sex at the Parthenon in Nashville. I went to The Parthenon and I just decided that it would be the best – I don’t know anything about Tennesee gay culture – but if I was gay in Tennessee, this is where I would go to have anonymous sex. It’s the fucking Parthenon! It would make so much sense.”
If you ever make it back to Nashville
Remember you have still got a friend
I'll meet you at the Parthenon
That's the place we always went
It's been so dull since you left Nashville
I've read the same books again & again
It makes me wish I wasn't bashful
When it comes to other men
But if I could have my way
Darling you'd come home
Remember when you moved to Nashville
& the first time that we kissed
Remember when your mother found us
Remember that you're sorely missed
& when you make it back to Nashville
We'll forget all of your sins
& I still buy two pairs of everything
So when you come home you & I'll be twins
Because if I could have my way
I wouldn't be alone
