Joanna Newsom – Peach, Plum, Pear Lyrics 14 years ago
This is obviously about the awkward feeling of having an acquaintance whom you're interested in, and being in competition with other "floozies" for that person. She highlights how for some reason the story turned sour and awkward when she says "And I have read the right books to interpret your looks. You were knocking me down with the palm of your eye." She obviously got an awkwardly dirty look. Then, of course, she bolts like a horse because the person isn't interested, so she moves on. She encounters the person in the beginning at the store and is all shy and awkward again. Then the other person makes it clear he/she is not interested. Then she moves on. Simple.
