Destroyer – Shooting Rockets (From the Desk of Night's Ape) Lyrics	11 years ago
In addition to being a ballet, Swan Lake is also another bejar outfit. But I doubt it really means anything. This song has some great lines scattered around.

oh and the yo la tengo version is ridiculously catchy... I'm a guy but I tend to harmonize with calvin by singing like georgia and it sounds kickass.

of Montreal – The Actor's Opprobrium Lyrics	18 years ago
just, weird/amazing imagery set around an extremely arty snuff film with a wide-eyed snuffee (who didn't know that's what he signed on for) as a narrator. if he's actually killed or not is ambiguous, but that's part of the point. the most creative line is the bit about how licking the knife truly is the life, a great jab at the whole glamoristic kind of things that actors sometimes say.

Joanna Newsom – Be a Woman Lyrics	18 years ago
The bird line may have to do with the whole dying bird part of only skin. In that song, by providing a bird with some comfort in its final moments, the speaker feels (in one interpretation, one that works with this song) an intense awareness of her own being.
