| Tunng – Woodcat Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think woodcat is another name for hare. This is what I found: It was considered unlucky in Scotland to have a hare on your boat and the name of the hare could not be spoken at sea. It was not an unknown practice for a dead rabbit to mysteriously appear on a rival’s boat. One anonymous Middle English poem which Seamus Heaney has translated advises anyone who meets a hare to praise it. The poet rehearses the names of the hare: the quick-scut, the dew-flirt, the grass-biter, the goibert the home-late, the do-the-dirt the starer, the wood-cat the purblnd, the furze cat, the skulker, the bleary-eyed the wall-eyed, the glance-aside the stag sprouting a suede horn the creature living in the crn the creature bearing all men's scorn, the creature no one dares to name. The negative superstitions associated with the hare may have appeared after the advent of Christianity, since hares, maybe more than other animals are associated, in Europe, with the most common shapeshifting disguise of witches. |

| Cat Power – Lived in Bars Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I thought about the poets, the musicians, the entertainers who make us company during the day, during our lives, our ups and downs, who "know our house so very well". We listen to them in bars, hotels, trains, all over but we don't really know them. | |

| the first time I heard it, I thought: love is a simple thing. just "is what it is", two people who live and love and one day will be gone, and the universe doesn't care, there's no big significance, the stars won't change, the world around you doesn't know about your "history", you're not the first one in love ("no pioneer") and even if it won't even be "recorded", What is there to know? You and me alone, Sheer simplicity. but then the danger part didn't fit and the "little secret" made me come here, and you're right, adultery and one night afairs fit it better, damn it. | |
