Sea Wolf – The Violet Hour Lyrics 16 years ago
This is what I heard in the song:

your lips are nettles
your tongue is wine
your laughter's liquid
but your body's pine
you love all sailors but hate the beach
you say "come touch me"
but you're always out of reach

in the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour

your arms are lovely
yellow and rose
your back's a meadow covered in snow
your thighs are thistles and ? grapes
you breathe a sweet breath and have me wait

in the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour

i turn the lights out
i clean the sheets
you changed the station
turned up the heat
and now you're sailing upon your chair
you got me tangled up inside your beautiful black hair

in the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour

in the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour

Ben Folds Five – Mitchell Lane Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree with Tiles analysis, but I'd like to add that this song was written by Darren Jessee, the drummer of Ben Folds Five, and Robert Sledge was the bassist- perhaps that has something to do with the line 'and Robbie made that stupid face all day.'
However, seeing as I'm pretty sure the band members didn't know each other back then, I don't know if that's relevant. Just throwing it out there. (:
