Interpol – A Time to Be So Small Lyrics 21 years ago
well, you're all probably sick of me by now, but never the less:

I sometimes hear "saw you form the _urchins_ side", not "ocean side"- an urchin being a playful youth. This fits with "he whistles and he runs".

It's interesting to consider this with what interpaul has said - it means the song is addressed to the father. This would mean that its the father ("you") who is killing his son ("he").

It's interesting because i thought this line:

"He has a keen eye for what you used to be"

was about how the father , being murdered his own son, knew what he was like as an innocent child. But i guess not =\

i like what interpaul suggested,

"he whistles and he runs"

i can imagin the father remembering seeing his son playing as a child while he's being murdered by him.

also, i'm sure

"bursting in a rapture"

should be

"rehursing interaction", which makes more sense coming before "but he wasn't even there"

i think it's

"when the cadaverous mobs _saves_ it's _doors_for the dead men you cannot leave"

or are these lyrics offical?
