Regina Spektor – Folding Chair Lyrics 18 years ago
"I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat," means that she thinks she has a perfect body, because its functional and not because its perfectly slim or esthatically beautiful. I think that "but sometimes I forget" is all about the insecurity of woman about their body. "

You're right about the 'sometimes I forget' line being about insecurity, but I believe the first line is really about having the perfect body such as slimness and what's conventionally beautiful. Because than the 'insecure' line would make sure sense. Why would she feel insecure about how her body works? The actual look of it makes more sense.

Mika – Stuck In The Middle Lyrics 18 years ago
" Still don't know what the hell the "five kids better than one..." line is supposed to be, but the impression I get from the rest of the song is that of a son estranged from a parent because of something about him and his life choices. This part, if I'm hearing it correctly:

This is who I am
This ain’t a greater plan to break your heart of me
I know that what I’ve started means that when we have parted
I can live in honesty

makes me think it's because the narrator is gay, though Mika isn't commenting on that particular part of his personal life at this time... He's saying he's not deliberately trying to piss them off, that's just who he is, and their disapproval prevents him from being open about that aspect of himself (thus, he can't live in honesty). The family "based upon tradition" and his entreating for someone who "won't try to change" him support this hunch, I think. You could use the same argument to say it's about a boy who wants to be an artist/rock star/hairdresser/video game designer while his parents want him to be a doctor or any sort of conflict in that vein.

(Also, I don't think the opening lines imply an ill/dying parent so much as resentful fantasies on the part of the narrator?) "

I agree with many of that, but not about Mika being gay. Just because the narrator or character of the song is gay doesn't mean he is.

Regina Spektor – I Want to Sing Lyrics 18 years ago
I don't think it's being sung by a harsh realist, but to a harsh realist. Because she's telling the other person not to be so blue, not herself.
