brilliant analysis! you must be one of her ex-boyfriends. I would agree, Amanda is really independent and doesn't really commit in relationships. She's sort of notorious for it, as in "all those real/boys that i destroy" in coin-operated boy. the fires and ghetto boys are such a rich description of her home in the South end of Boston...the tattered edges of an upscale neighborhood fading into the gang turf of Dorchester, just a block from the hospitals and fire department. There really was a fire on her street that burned up to their building, then stopped.. but i love how she's woven these mundane facts into a reflection on her own perspective on relationships |

what's wrong with taking lyrics from someplace else? Amanda is just a mix-it-up girl, that doesn't make her any less awesome, or less of an killer pop composer. it's not like she doesn't give props. here's a picture of Blake: http://whokilledamandapalmer.com/album/song.php?track=5 |

maybe the song is autobiographical, about an ex-boyfriend who is obsessed with the velvet underground...... he works as an angel mime blowing kisses and angel dust for quarters that he saves for gin and tonics. he loves robots and grows tropical fish to save them from going extinct from acid rain and global warming....she can't love him because his heart is in Alaska, but she can't forget him so she wrote this song and put him on the cover of her album..... |
