| Joanna Newsom – Sprout and the Bean Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I don't believe this is about abortion at all. This is talking about her love of nature and her distaste for school and other such institutions. She talks about how little things like a sprout and a bean can be fascinating and just how beautiful nature is. School and things were just always a bore thats why she slept as though dead. When she was forced to be inside all the time like in school life seemed boring and pointless. I think the white coats is just referring to the plastic bubble like world some of us live in. Where everything is disinfected and unnatural. The white coats put order and rules to everything but in nature we are all free. This line is talking about how if you ask for advice everyone will agree to just go outside and free yourself from the madness of a materialistic world. "And you can ask the counsellor; you can ask the king; and they'll say the same thing; and it's a funny thing: Should we go outside? Should we go outside?" |
