Regina Spektor – Loveology Lyrics 16 years ago
I think the boy being a humanist, is someone who "only seeks rational thinking thinking." The point of view Regina is speaking from, the girl. Only works on emotion, she just wants things to be simple, She wants to be taken to the movies and to laugh and have no real need to think. I think that's what got her into trouble in his eyes. So she tried to become like him, and think hard and study love. However, the songs ending makes it seem like they just can't be together, I'm also not sure it's in school when this happened in school. I think that's just picked up by the childish things that she wanted to do like the movies and the school books.

Regina Spektor – Scarecrow and Fungus Lyrics 16 years ago
This could be way off base. However, I think scarecrow and fungus are the parents of the "Brother" in the story. The mom is the scarecrow because she never stood up for herself and the dad is the fungus because he was a jerk or something. It could also be the other way around. They were bad parents to him and that was the "red light" that they ran. When she says no one got hurt, it's sarcastic because even though this guy is rich he's really hurt by his parents. He became mal adjusted and everyone speculates why. I also think Regina was showing their new baby (scarecrow and fungus's baby) what his brother turned out like. Either to show that it will happen again or to try and stop it.
