Frank Black – Sing For Joy Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it just implies there was no sweetness between them, with maybe some insinuations that she was trying hard, even violently, to please him but it was backfiring.

Frank Black – Thalassocracy Lyrics 18 years ago
Another song about how whatever temporal power men think they possess, and argue and fight over, it is meaningless next to nature's power. The Romanovs were the Russian imperial family toppled by the revolution. Thalassocracy means a sea kingdom, by which I think he means a kingdom ruled by nature - much like the inuits or other tribal societies. Of course, Frank finds a much more amusing and effective way of saying all this.

Frank Black – Don't Ya Rile 'Em Lyrics 18 years ago
That's amazing, I never would have thought of that but it makes sense when you look at it. I thought the song was about going to Alaska or Norway in the summer, but your interpretation makes the song a lot more compelling. It does kind of have that driving under starlight feel.
