| Jim O'Rourke – Get A Room Lyrics | 11 years ago |

sorry...but I think your all a little wide of the mark. This is the Grim Reaper offering a lost soul one more night with a woman before he dies..... He isn't without some malice though as he taunts him throughout the song....what if you pick a snorer... what if she has to go to sleep before him because she's at work in the morning and he isn't...if she's asleep and snoring will he be able to wake her as he's slowly dying with progressive coldness and weakness. I love this song, it haunts me each time I listen to it, its so beautiful, sinister and v funny. it reminds us of death and its inevitability, how we try to cling to this world even when its upon us. My friend told me about Jim some years ago...he surprised me when he said that he thought his two albums INSIGNIFICANCE and EUREKA were , in his opinion the most important pieces of songwriting from the last 20 yrs. I now fully agree with him... this man is an underrated genius |
