| Lifter Puller – The Pirate And The Penpal Lyrics

One of my favorite Lifter Puller songs. I think it's about a girl who is intelligent, but not great looking who doesn't fit in with the kids at her school but has a penpal who accepts her more than the real people in her life. "Forget the Swan" is by Dinosaur Jr. by the way. |

Hah, I don't think this is supposed to be a trippy drug-inspired song. Volcano came out right after his daughter was born so it's really exactly what it says, a song for children. A whimsical tale in classic Jimmy style. |

I'm not really sure it's about asking for forgiveness. I think it's more about someone who he was really close with (girlfriend?) and had a sudden disconnect from ("the doors were shut/the lines were cut"). When they were together the other person gave/lent him some records that turned out to be really influential for him and now whenever he listens to them he remembers what they had before. ("I can hear your laughter/It stays with me after/All this time").
It's the kind of mixed feelings everyone can relate to that's gone through a breakup. You realize all the good times you had, and how much you miss, but there's still always a piece left in your life to show that other person was there. |
