Yael Naim – New Soul Lyrics 14 years ago
I think this song is about an immigrant (new soul) coming to America (strange world) who wants to learn about capitalism (give and take).

Counting Crows – I Wish I Was A Girl Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm almost positive he's referring to film angles when he says things like "you watch the sky receding" and "the traffic rising up"... It reminds me of a camera panning out on some horrified girl in the middle of the street. Plus all the references to Hollywood and the line "they're gonna make a movie..". I just loved this song as a kid because he uses "Elizabeth" and says "I wish for all the world" that I could just talk to you but I'm too shy. I remember listening to this song as a little girl (like 10) and thinking that whoever was singing the song was "safe".
