The Decemberists – My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist Lyrics 17 years ago
50 billion? I'd like to see that..... ;)

But! The song! I love it! Every time I start thinking my family's disfunctional, I put it on and realise how comparably normal they are, really.....

Rogue Traders – Voodoo Child Lyrics 17 years ago
@ Sukka and all the naysayers: So you may not like the song, 'tis your choice definitely to see it that way. Who cares about the lyrics, it's still rather addictive and dance-to-able..... XD (Which... goes for a lot of the songs from this group, actually.... :P )

Voltaire – All The Way Down Lyrics 18 years ago
Well, it seems to be about someone close to the speaker dying... "Down" could refer to being under the earth, her (or him) looking down from heaven, or looking up from hell. The speaker would be "all the way down" if he killed himself to be with her (switch the pronouns around if you care to :P ).

The way he sings it, with the cello and/or double bass in the background... absolutely wonderful. :) The perfect song when you're feeling a bit down (err... no pun intended) yourself.

The Decemberists – The Crane Wife 3 Lyrics 18 years ago
Is it possible that the song is told from the viewpoint of the crane, and not the husband like it is in 1&2?

The Decemberists – O Valencia! Lyrics 18 years ago
You know... with the line "You belong to the gang," she could be engaged to a gang member. That would make her technically "belong" to them... and of course it would be to a member of the gang her brother's in, right?
