This Life Cumulative Lyrics

you've got such a pretty voice but you gotta get so fucked up to sing. fucking clutzes funny boning moaning "yea". you're dumbteen bumteen cumteen runtteen plumteen bumpteen dumpteen runteen pumpteen years old. you say it's the Verda Pierce in me versus the Bell Hooks in me. pointillist communication. trapped in grammar and calendars. all this whitebread makes me wonder. and dear lord for poor fiona. swore on some music awards she wish'd she'd never been born. in a language of awkward sighs, and you. you're always using cooing.

I don't think this song is actually about Fiona Apple, while her award show behavior is definitely mentioned. It is part of the overall metaphor. I also love the the puns using feminist writers. These aspects combined are why I believe this song is about the awkwardness it is to be a young woman in the modern time as understood from a man.

well the whole song is about fiona, i think when he says all the bumpteen cumpteen... year names he is saying she may be older than her age for what has happened. i do not know much about fiona though

This song is perfect.

The beginning is a description of Fionas video for "Criminal. You can see it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTpvjNn2BUM. Fiona is in a sea of arms and legs trying to get out.
