Cover art for Rabbit Fur Coat lyrics by Jenny Lewis

Yeah, this is all about Jenny's child actress days - and just general Hollywood madness, as she said in her interview with the Sunday Times.

The "rabbit fur coat" is a metaphor for wealth and success which can be as easy to lose as it is to come by. Also, the line:

"You treat your girl as your spouse."

is about the way roles in families can be confused and reversed when the child is the one earning the most money as it was - and is - with child actors/actresses.

A really beautiful songs, like all of the songs on Lewis' new album - but this one took a while to grow on me and figure out. Now it means a lot more for it.
