I'm currently living in Greece, and was curious about the line about the border between Greece and Albania. Overall, Greeks and Albanians have strained relations, though recently they've both viewed each other as necessary trading partners. To simplify it excessively, it's like Greece is the U.S., and Albania is Mexico. (Of course, neither European counterpart is as developed/powerful as their American metaphor.) The cultural prejudices, from what I've seen, are similar, too. A little bit of research has turned up this: http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Europe/Albania-HISTORY.html "In August 1987, Albania signed a treaty with Greece formally ending the state of war that had existed between the two countries since World War II." "In 1994, the border disputes that have occurred since the creation of Albania flared into violence as Greek and Albanian border guards fought against each other in sporadic clashes. Greece expelled over 1,500 Albanians working in Greece without permits." |

I think one of the lyrics posted is in correct. It should read: "I'm reaching for the phone To call the 703" The 703 area code is in Washington D.C./Northern Virginia. I'm trying to figure out what Ben's connection to the area is--the lyrics to The Postal Service's "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" reference D.C. also. Does anyone know anything about this? |
