| The Mountain Goats – First Few Desperate Hours Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I had always thought that this song may have been about domestic terrorism - perhaps the Oklahoma City bombing - the line "On the back of a truck" has particular resonance there. ...though, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 911 bombings, maybe "And they lean like towers On a hillside struggling to stand, Through these first few desperate hours" has some more (if not accidental) chilling power. |
