| Sufjan Stevens – Casimir Pulaski Day Lyrics | 19 years ago |

To: Violetuki. The "4-H stone" would be better known as the "shamROCK," or 4-leaf clover. However, "stone" rhymes better with "bone," than does "rock." Here's another contribution. -- All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications you could do without When I kissed you on the mouth. -- As suggested before by others to this list, this song is filled with contradictions and irony. This phrase is one example. Here's he's praising the Lord for all the wonders of the world, but he can't kiss the patient (I'll accept that it is a woman) in the song. With chemotherapy (or bone marrow transplant), the patient would have contact isolation (because of low white blood cell count). Therefore, kissing someone on the mouth is very likely to spread infection; hence "complications" from "kissing." |
