| Andrew Bird – Fitz and the Dizzyspells Lyrics | 17 years ago |

from the lyrics booklet: Comes and goes Like in fits and dizzy spells Like the weather And it blows Like it knows what's going wrong Like it's clever Has a name but the name goes unspoken Weather vanes Were all twisted and broken So soldier on, soldier on Flailing to the whir of a snack machine And muted screams of an old regime And then oh Something gets in it The nightshade gets in it We were all fast asleep Were all so fast asleep But you woke us You woke us from the strangest dream that an aubergine could ever know Would ever know Lava flows over crooks and craggy cliffs to the ocean And explodes in a steam heat fevered cyclical motion Has a name But the name goes unspoken It's in vain Cause the language is broken So cast your own, cast your own Soldier on |

I think it actually is hang around in quotes a lot, even though I thought it was ports at first the song makes other references to philosophy, so it makes a little more sense... but then again there are a lot of ports in the Mediterranean. |

| It's the French rapper Spleen, who sang Bisonours on Noah's Ark. But it does sound a little like Antony. It's such a wonderful duet. | |

I had typed up the lyrics from the liner notes. I just went back and edited them to match the sung vocals. Hopefully it's all good now? ... The song has this great Western machismo melded with a pathetic cheating sleep-around father. It's about someone trying to both live up to that name and live it down. At the point in their life where they realize that all the men they've been with are just different versions of their father, and they're ready to leave all that behind and start over again. |

| CocoRosie – Honey or Tar Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It's about the guilt in lust—that deep sinking feeling of touching someone without their permission, staining them, even if it's only in dreams. Feeling free to let that passion all seep out, letting loose in the flurry of remorse coupled with yearning. | |
