yes, the poem is called "Invitation to the Voyage", and you can find the whole thing in the original French as well as several English translations here: http://fleursdumal.org/poem/148
I love how "luxe,calme et volupté" gets translated slightly differently each time. :) |

| The Dresden Dolls – Missed Me Lyrics

I can *kind of* see the Lolita parallels, but if you read the book, you can easily tell that H.H. is manipulating Lolita & not the other way around, despite what H.H. tells himself. In this song, on the other hand, it's pretty clear that the narrator actually IS manipulating the older man. |

this song doesn't sound really like it's about rape at all. it sounds like rough sex at the end of a bad, drawn-out relationship that's finally coming to a close. |

I believe the spoken part is from a 1965 movie called "The Collector". The last verse (until then/I'll keep you/locked up tight/in my collection) is probably inspired by that too. |

This was the first Fiery Furnaces song I ever heard, late one night on Brave New Waves. I downloaded a few more of their songs, and in less than a week, owned both of their CDs. |

I used to hate this cover of Tracy Chapman's song, but it's slowly beginning to grow on me. |

I've got the booklet from their CD "Louder Than Bombs" here, and it says bomb, not bond. |
