| Tori Amos – Wednesday Lyrics | 16 years ago |

The beginning of the seventh verse is wrong it should be: "you tell me to cheer up you suspect we're oddly even, even still the Eagle has to land" not "Seems as if we're circling for very different reasons but one day the Eagle has to land". In an interview Tori Amos says that the songs about a woman in a marriage who finds out that her husbands been keeping secrets, and she thinks that he's having an affair but she isn't sure if she's just imagining it, this fits in with the lines: "No one's at the door You suggest a ghost perhaps a phantom I agree with this in part Something is with us I can't put my finger on -- is Thumbalina size 10 on a Wednesday --" and also the line "just a hang up call". The line "you suspect we're oddly even" shows that he's also suspicious of her. Here's a good link to find out more: http://www.yessaid.com/frames.html |

| Bat for Lashes – Sleep Alone Lyrics | 16 years ago |

For the first lines: "You know my darling I can't stand to sleep alone No sweetheart in the dark to call my own" I think that she's talking about how sleeping by yourself at night is lonely because it's so much nicer to sleep next to someone and when you don't have this anymore you really miss it, which I think is really shown in the line "No sweetheart in the dark to call my own". I think that she wants to show how when you're going out with someone it is like they're yours especially at night which is normally when you feel closest to them. |
