The White Stripes: Ball and Biscuit Meaning

Ball and Biscuit Lyrics

It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done

Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our...

   This 3rd man refers to the girl's 3rd lover, 7th son could very well be pointing to his power over the girl...
   
   The song is about him arousing this girl and making her fall in love with him through sex...

   When Jack talks about being the third man and the seventh son, he is refering to his favorite numbers (duh). He plainly says, "it was the other three that made me your third, but it was my mother who made me the seventh son!" Jack believes himself to be the all-powerful seventh son who, in mythology, either turns out to be a vampire or werewolf. In a nutshell, Jack is summing up his importance and power for this girl.

   I think the girl is deciding whether or not she wants to have a relasionship and/or have sex with the narrator. The line, "It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl" could either mean that he is the third man she's ever been with or that she is seeing three men at the same time. I think the narrator feels that he is being used (or wants to be used by this woman) and he is rather sure of himself when he says, "But soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done."
   "We'll get clean together," would mean have sex. After they did he would be very happy about it, hence the shouting. "You read it in the newspaper," leads me to believe that something got out about the narrator's interest in the girl- which led them to meeting. He states that "his strength" is "tenfold", (I will leave it to you to make what you will of it) and that "I'll let you see it if you want to before you go."
   I rest my case.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
