| Amanda Palmer – You May Kiss The Bride Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
the "A tisket, a tasket A green and yellow basket" part is from a children's song. "A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket, I wrote a letter to my love, and on the way I dropped it. I dropped it, I dropped it, The green and yellow basket A little child picked it up and Put it in his pocket." |

| The Dresden Dolls – The Sheep Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song makes me think of a kid having a lot of plushies and their parents gradually taking them away. "sleep now never fear all your animals are here" This could be like, don't worry, all your plushies are here with you. "counting sheep I lay me down to sleep" The kid is counting all his/her plushies to make sure they are there. "but I see a sheep that will not leave from the back they catch him in a trap hit his head and send him off to bed" Not quite sure about here, but maybe this could mean that the parents think the kid is sleeping, but he/she really isn't and she/he sees them sneak in to take some of the plushies out. "cutting by numbers is kinder invest in one with a silencer all of the studies say if they’re calm when they die then they taste better" The parents are only taking one or two away at a time to keep the child calm and unaware. "goodbye olive sky I am crying all the time there there don’t despair we will find your sheep somewhere… " The kid finally realized that some of them are missing and he/she is upset about it and the parents are trying to comfort him/her by saying "Oh, you probably just misplaced them, we'll find them!" |
