how clever - a song full of allusions to Sylvia Plath's "Daddy". how they work within the context of a love song escapes me, though - the poem is about a woman with an Electra complex and an explicit desire to commit symbolic patricide in order to lift the oppressive legacy of her father from her shoulders. only Davey could get away with something like that, I suppose.
