Cat Power – Nude as the News Lyrics 15 years ago
Following the confirmation that it's about her abortions, I think the other lyrics in the song are about a controlling male figure who is against her actions.

'And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship'

Someone who has a desire to control but is incompetent of doing so, maybe an alcoholic partner or father...

Cat Power – Peking Saint Lyrics 15 years ago
I think there are some lines here that point to a person dealing with issues surrounding their transsexuality.

Smog – Let Me See the Colts Lyrics 15 years ago
my interpretation follows powercut's, to me the song is about being truly comfortable and at peace with your thoughts/actions and being unimpeded by the pressing influences of others.

smog has, for now, given up on his quest for empowerment/knowledge and is finding more pleasure in the everyman's life - watching/talking sport is about as unpretentious a past time as possible.

The fact the lyrics are about sports, a topic so avoided and under-represented in music, shows smog is content with how he leads his life and isn't phased about following trends.

Fuck it, I just wanna watch the game!!
