This song always makes me laugh. :) It seems the narrator has hired a hitman to do in another girl. I've never seen The Prince and the Showgirl so I'm not really sure how that ties in? |

| Rilo Kiley – I Love L.A. Lyrics

"And you can bury me when my body breaks
In the earth that created me, in the golden state
By my mama and her brother, and their mama, too"
I think this verse is absolutely beautiful. I love the idea of a place you can always return to, that will always be your home, and will ultimately welcome you into the earth along with those who came before you. It looks like Jenny Lewis feels the same! :) |

| Johnny Flynn – Eyeless in Holloway Lyrics
| 15 years ago

To me, it sounds like this song may be celebrating the simple working people who "walk the line." It seems as if the narrator's future was decided for him, and he lived right up to it, got a job and wife and spent the rest of his life in a totally unexciting but peaceful manner. It suggests that although this sort of life may not be seen as glamorous there are many people who find their own happiness this way.
Of course, I could be totally wrong! The lyrics to this song are a bit opaque to me, as is common with Johnny Flynn. I'm definitely at a total loss with the chorus! It is very creepy for a song that's otherwise fairly upbeat. As NooneofConsequence suggested, it seems to refer to a historical event maybe...? |
