Just wondering if anyone else noticed this... "Like a patient on a table"... an allusion to The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot? ("Like a patient etherized upon a table") I'm pretty sure Love Song is all about these inhibitions keeping this guy from finding love and in We Used to Wait, Win sings "I'm gonna write a letter to my true love/I'm gonna sign my name" but all of these modern "conveniences" keep him from pursuing the scenario he desires, just like Prufrock. Just a thought. |
