| Jolie Holland – Fox in Its Hole Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Sweet song. Jolie Holland has that incredible unsettled voice which makes her sound so fragile but still so decisive in her lyrics.The whole bee image for the city is taken from Virgil's Aeneid book 12, but here she is saying she has decided to focus on the important things in life - practical skills (ie "teeth...like razors") rather than the honey of the bees which seems to her a useless luxury and "holds no sway". It clever how she uses sway in the 3rd verse - a sort of forewarning I think of the flood of God in the final verse. Also, the Noah's Ark style story is rewitten in this song in a bitter, gloatig way by Jolie Holland. They won't know how to surviv when things go wrong, but she will be ready; like her voice - she seems fragile, a minority/outcast type, but she knows hat she is doing. Why has hardly anyone posted on any Jolie Holland songs? |
