Dear Ms. Leading Lyrics
Dear Ms. Leading I hate to tell you that I no longer need your services
A bitter fabricating manufacturer of lust
You have been presented as
It doesn’t do a thing for me, I now know your identity
A black widow who temps the gray with promises of love
If ignorance is bliss ,wish I was blissfully ignorant
But I'm not, I'm enlightened now light has been presented to me
In spite of you
Come now Ms. Leading I regret to inform you
I’ve fallen out of lust
It must be so hard to understand
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
Did you really think me a fool enough to play along?
And make believing everything you said was true
Push your pouting lips on other unsuspecting lovers
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
Dear Ms. Leading in response to your response
I'm simply unavailable
I hope you got the message in the message that I sent
Shame on me for falling for someone so dense
In different times I’d might of played along for something warm, something with security
As fleeting as momentary rapture and the pleasure of collapsing in arms
So welcoming to others just like me
Come now Ms. Leading I regret to inform you
I’ve fallen out of lust
It must be so hard to understand
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
Did you really think me a fool enough to play along?
And make believing everything you said was true
Push your pouting lips on other unsuspecting lovers
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
A bitter fabricating manufacturer of lust
You have been presented as
It doesn’t do a thing for me, I now know your identity
A black widow who temps the gray with promises of love
If ignorance is bliss ,wish I was blissfully ignorant
But I'm not, I'm enlightened now light has been presented to me
In spite of you
I’ve fallen out of lust
It must be so hard to understand
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
And make believing everything you said was true
Push your pouting lips on other unsuspecting lovers
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
I'm simply unavailable
I hope you got the message in the message that I sent
Shame on me for falling for someone so dense
In different times I’d might of played along for something warm, something with security
As fleeting as momentary rapture and the pleasure of collapsing in arms
So welcoming to others just like me
I’ve fallen out of lust
It must be so hard to understand
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)
And make believing everything you said was true
Push your pouting lips on other unsuspecting lovers
(Hell no I don’t think so, hell no I don’t think so)

wow, easily one of the best songs on the cd. when he just starts belting it at the chorus, its just insane.
ms leading is a hooker right?
hahaha yes ms. leading is a whore who works at the same brothel the dear hunter's dead mother worked at, and so he leaves his house on the lake and the river and gets on a train (the oracles on the delphi express) to The Dime (the brothel, sees ms. leading, goes to the brothel to her room (bitter suite one and two), gets laid (bitter suite three, wakes up to find her gone, talks to the pimp, and realizes hes fallen in love with ms leading (smiling swine), and through the duration of the rest of the album he...

Lyric book says "Push your pouting lips on other unsuspecting lovers."
'Dear Ms. Leading I hate to tell you that I no longer need your services' -HE'S ENDING IT 'A bitter fabricating manufacturer of lust You have been presented as' -HE REALIZES IT WAS HER JOB TO GIVE HIM THOSE FEELINGS 'It doesn’t do a thing for me, I now know your identity A black widow who temps the gray with promises of love' -AGAIN, HE SEES WHAT SHE REALLY IS NOW. 'IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS, WISH I WAS BLISSFULLY IGNORANT' -Great line!!
ANOTHER LINE: The line that says 'Shame on me for falling for someone SO DENSE' I think he really says 'Shame on me for falling for someone FORBIDEN' -HE REALIZES HIS FEELINGS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN.
isnt the line "a black widow who temps the gray with promises of love" really "a black widow who tempts her prey with promises of love"
the album version of this can be heard on the new ecard here:
http://ecards.tenminutemedia.net/dearhunter/
The first time this line appears, it actually goes "Push your battering lips on other unsuspecting men."
The second time, I think it says "Push your battering lips on other unsuspecting lovers."
Amazing song though.
i put these lyrics up before act II when all i had heard was the demos
The childs writting a letter right now. "you have been presented as..." this is just a clever way to say that he found her out. and realizes what she is.
and its really "push your battered lips on other unsuspecting lovers"
The dear Hunter finally sets his mind on the fact that he was only being used by Ms. Leading. It can be assumed that an event has happened to cause him to come to this conclusion, or her "spell" has finally worn off on him where he can see the truth. He is completely separating himself form Ms. Leading. He says he has fallen out of "lust" not "love". The Dear Hunter is fully aware of Ms. leading's infidelity
